Schalke 04, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 away win over Hansa Rostock in their last league game, Schalke 04 will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. During that encounter they had 67% possession and had 18 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 0 of their 3 shots on goal.
Their boss Karel Geraerts has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 15 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 10 goals conceded across those matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Kenan Karaman will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Schalke 04's last 6 league games.
Greuther Furth, Recent FormGreuther Furth manager Alexander Zorniger will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Magdeburg. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Magdeburg's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Zorniger will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 1 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 11 goals. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Julian Green will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Greuther Furth.
It ended in disappointment and a 1-2 defeat for Schalke 04 last time they met Greuther Furth in the league, with Kleeblätter defying the odds to take the win.
Schalke manager Karel Geraerts has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19), Dominick Drexler (Illness) and Justin Heekeren (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Alexander Zorniger has a number of injury concerns in his Greuther squad to contend with: Dickson Abiama (Illness), Gideon Jung (Knee) and Marco Meyerhöfer (Broken ankle)
