Hertha BSC, Recent FormLosing 2-0 away to St. Pauli won't leave the Hertha BSC squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 10 places above them in the league. They came away from that fixture with 39% of the possession and clocked up 3 attempts on goal with 0 on target. By comparison, St. Pauli managed 14 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 25 games.
Hertha will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Florian Niederlechner will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Hertha BSC.
Schalke 04, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 3-3 draw against Paderborn 07 will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Schalke 04. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Paderborn 07 who had 14 attempts and 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 games on the road.
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. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 9 of their 12 away league games.
On an individual basis, Kenan Karaman will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Schalke 04's last 6 league games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Schalke 04, losing 1-2 to Hertha BSC.
Hertha will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Die Königsblauen, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two.
Playing at home, Hertha have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 4 times they have faced Schalke in the league.
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.
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.
