Elversberg, Recent FormElversberg will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 4-3 away win against St. Pauli. Their share of possession in that meeting was 31%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target, in contrast to St. Pauli, who had 17 shots on goal with 8 on target.
Horst Steffen, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 14 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 25 of their 29 games played.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Goalscorer Paul Stock will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Elversberg.
Schalke 04, Recent FormSchalke 04 will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against Nurnberg. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Nurnberg's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 11 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 playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 13 of their 14 games this season.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Kenan Karaman will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 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 Elversberg.
With no real injury worries, Elversberg manager Horst Steffen will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
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.
