Fortuna Dusseldorf, Recent FormThe Fortuna Dusseldorf squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Greuther Furth, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Greuther Furth who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Daniel Thioune will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Fortuna Dusseldorf, Ao Tanaka will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Schalke 04, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Schalke 04 players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Elversberg. In that game they recorded 55 % of the possession, with 23 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 13 shots on goal.
Their boss Karel Geraerts is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
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.
Sebastian Polter 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 Schalke 04.
It ended in disappointment and a 2-1 defeat for Schalke 04 last time they met Fortuna Dusseldorf in the league, with Fortunen defying the odds to take the win.
Goals should be on the cards for Fortuna in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Die Königsblauen in their last 5 meetings together.
Schalke has a poor track record in the league when they visit Fortuna, losing in their last 2 games.
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.
Karel Geraerts has a number of injury concerns in his Schalke squad to contend with: Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19), Dominick Drexler (Illness) and Justin Heekeren (Cruciate ligament)
