Team News

Schalke
Karlsruher SC
  • Goalkeeper Justin Heekeren didn't train in midweek due to a cold, but will start on Sunday barring exceptional circumstances.
  • Schalke will be without star striker Moussa Sylla, who missed the game against FC Köln with a muscle strain.
  • Kees van Wonderen will, however, welcome back Paul Seguin after he missed the game against FC Köln through injury.
  • Lasse Günther was among four players who returned to the matchday squad last weekend, meaning Karlsruher's injury list now stands at just two names.
  • Günther could make the step into the starting line-up on Sunday, while Christian Eichner may also recall Bambase Conte in midfield.
  • Up top, the KSC boss has a tough call to make between Fabian Schleusener and Luca Pfeiffer.

Prediction

  • Schalke were unable to respond after going behind to a Damion Downs goal last weekend, losing 1-0 to league leaders FC Köln at the RheinEnergieSTADION. Die Knappen have lost back-to-back league games and therefore sit just four points clear of 16th-placed Eintracht Braunschweig.
  • Karlsruher continued their slide down the table in gameweek 21 as goals from Levente Szabo and Lino Tempelmann condemned KSC to a humbling defeat at home to Eintracht Braunschweig. Christian Eichner's men have picked up just one point from the last 12 available and have now dropped into the bottom half.
