Team News

Schalke 04
  • Kyriakos Papadopoulos and Benedikt Höwedes will probably start at centre-back again, allowing Atsuto Uchida to play at right-back. If Papadopoulos does not recover from a minor injury in time, Joel Matip will replace the Greek.
  • Julian Draxler and Tranquillo Barnetta compete for the spot on the left wing, with Ibrahim Afellay still not fit again.
  • Lewis Holtby should return to the first eleven as well, after being rested against Hamburg during the week.
Borussia M.Gladbach
  • In the left-back position, captain Filip Daems is still not 100% fit so Oscar Wendt will start again.
  • Alexander Ring and Lukas Rupp compete for the spot on the right wing.
  • Mike Hanke and Igor de Camargo are both in contention for the spot alongside Patrick Hermann up front. The latter should be ahead in the manager's rankings though.
  • Gladbach will probably field an unchanged team.

Prediction

  • After a very disappointing loss at Hamburg during the week, Schalke are three games without a win. They need a result to keep pace with Leverkusen and Dortmund now. Holtby and Draxler returning to the starting line-up should make them more dangerous on the attack again.
  • Gladbach beat high-flying Wolfsburg last time out and have regained confidence with that result. Another win would put them in the running for a Europa place again after a poor start to the season.
  • Expect this to be an open game with plenty of chances for both sides.
