Schalke 04, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 away defeat by Paderborn 07 will have left the Schalke 04 squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Paderborn 07, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Thomas Reis 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 scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Sebastian Polter will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Schalke 04.
Hertha BSC, Recent FormLosing 2-1 home to St. Pauli won't leave the Hertha BSC squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. In that game they had 48% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to St. Pauli who had 25 attempts and 5 on target.
Whilst manager Pál Dárdai will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 16 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've conceded a goal in their 18 most recent away games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
With 7 goals scored in Hertha BSC's last 6 outings in the league, Haris Tabaković has shown a great run of form in finding the back of the net.
Hertha BSC will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Schalke 04, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 5-2 defeat.
Die Alte Dame have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Schalke. In their last 3 away league games against Die Königsblauen, Hertha have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
Schalke manager Thomas Reis 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.
With only Márton Dárdai (Muscle) and Kélian Nsona (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pál Dárdai will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
