Schalke 04 will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Hannover 96 with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point.  In that game they had 41% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Hannover 96 who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.  

Their boss Karel Geraerts is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 9 goals scored.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

There will be mixed feelings from Die Königsblauen, although undefeated in their last 5 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.

Cristian Fiél will have some work to do building up his players after their 4-0 home thrashing at the hands of Holstein Kiel.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 29%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Holstein Kiel had 23 shots on goal with 8 on target.  

Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, Fiél will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 7 goals they scored.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 12 of their 14 games played.  

Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.  

Goalscorer Can Uzun will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Nurnberg.
