Team News

Schalke
Magdeburg
  • New signing Pape Meissa Ba could make the bench after joining from Grenoble Foot.
  • Janik Bachmann and Amin Younes are back in full training for the first time in 2025, but star forward Kenan Karaman is a doubt after picking up a knock last weekend.
  • Christian Titz could make two changes for the trip to the VELTINS-Arena with Connor Krempicki and Bryan Teixeira stepping into the starting XI.
  • Herbert Bockhorn, Lubmabo Musonda and Emir Kuhinja are Magdeburg's injury concerns for this gameweek 20 fixture.

Prediction

  • Schalke found the net twice inside the opening 15 minutes of their clash with Nürnberg last time out as Moussa Sylla bagged a brace in a 3-1 home win. That result was a critical one for Die Knappen, who have moved seven points clear of 16th-placed Ulm following a five-match unbeaten streak.
  • Baris Atik gave Magdeburg the lead inside five minutes against a relegation-threatened Eintracht Braunschweig side last Friday, but a second-half Lino Tempelmann penalty pegged FCM back. Christian Titz's side are still unbeaten in five off the back of that result, and sit third in the standings heading into gameweek 20.
