With Fortuna Dusseldorf sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Schalke 04 won't feel totally dejected with their 5-3 away defeat by them last time out.  They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Fortuna Dusseldorf's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.  

Supremo Karel Geraerts will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 15 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 10 goals they've managed to net.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games overall.  

Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.

The Osnabruck squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Magdeburg, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 36%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Magdeburg had 12 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

Whilst they have scored a reasonable 4 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 13 goals in the same period.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 15 games overall.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.  

With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Osnabruck, Erik Engelhardt will be looking to add more goals against Schalke 04 in this match.
