Schalke 04, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Elversberg in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Schalke 04 last time out. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Elversberg managed 15 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and this season they have notched up 6 clean sheets in 15 games at Veltins-Arena.
They have been performing well at Veltins-Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
When home matches come round at Veltins-Arena, Kenan Karaman will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Schalke 04's last 6 home league matches.
Fortuna Dusseldorf, Recent FormFortuna Dusseldorf will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Greuther Furth. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Greuther Furth who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
It's clear that Daniel Thioune, their manager, will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 14 goals and only give 1 away. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 14 games in a row, and they are currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 10 games.
Christos Tzolis will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Schalke 04 in this match, having already scored 7 goals in his last 6 away games for Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Fortuna Dusseldorf running out winners in a match that ended 5-3.
The Schalke defence has struggled against Fortunen in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 games. Fortuna have a good attacking record away to Die Königsblauen in the league, having scored a total of 8 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.67 goals per game.
Fortuna has won the last 2 games they've played against Schalke in the league.
With only Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19) and Dominick Drexler (Illness) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Karel Geraerts will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Fortuna manager Daniel Thioune ahead of this clash, with Nicolas Gavory (Physical discomfort) missing out, which gives Thioune a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
