Schalke 04, Recent FormSchalke 04 manager Karel Geraerts will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 3-0 away defeat by Magdeburg. They came away from that fixture with 29% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Magdeburg managed 17 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Having conceded 10 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
St. Pauli, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 4-3 away win over Holstein Kiel in their last league game, St. Pauli will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Holstein Kiel's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Fabian Hürzeler will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
It has been a decent run of form for them recently, notching up 5 wins from the previous 6 matches. They've been unbeaten in 22 of their 23 league games this season.
The St. Pauli travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Marcel Hartel, who's scored 5 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 3-1 win for St. Pauli.
Schalke will be confident of finding the net in this one against Freibeuter der Liga, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 7 encounters between the two sides. We have seen plenty of goals from Die Königsblauen when they play at home against St. Pauli. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
St. Pauli have lost the last 3 times they've have visited Schalke in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters at Veltins-Arena.
With only Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19) and Dominick Drexler (Illness) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Karel Geraerts will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
St. Pauli manager Fabian Hürzeler has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
