Schalke 04, Recent FormThe Schalke 04 squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Eintracht Braunschweig who had 19 attempts and 6 on target.
Manager Thomas Reis will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 18 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 10 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
On an individual basis, Simon Terodde will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Schalke 04's last 6 league games.
Holstein Kiel, Recent FormThe 4-2 home defeat to Magdeburg will not have sat easily with the Holstein Kiel squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they recorded 45 % of the possession, with 18 attempts on goal, 9 on target. Their opponents found the target on 10 of their 18 shots on goal.
Their boss Marcel Rapp 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 11 goals conceded across those matches. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Steven Skrzybski will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Holstein Kiel.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
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.
Holstein manager Marcel Rapp has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
