Team News

Schalke
Nuernberg
  • Justin Heekeren, Emil Hojlund and Derry John Murkin are all fresh injury concerns for Schalke heading into gameweek 19.
  • With the trio likely to be unavailable on Saturday, Tobias Mohr and Anton Donkor could be recalled to the starting XI.
  • Miroslav Klose may shake up his starting XI on Saturday, handing starts to Florian Flick and Lukas Schleimer.
  • Striker Mahir Emreli picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Karlsruher and will miss the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.

Prediction

  • Schalke played nearly half an hour with a man's advantage last Saturday but were unable to challenge the Eintracht Braunschweig goal as the game ended goalless at Eintracht-Stadion. Die Knappen are unbeaten in their last four 2.Bundesliga matches, and are now seven points clear of the relegation zone.
  • Florian Flick rifled home from range in the 91st minute in gameweek 18 as Nürnberg sealed a priceless and deserved three points against Karlsruher. Despite sitting down in 11th place, back-to-back 2.Bundesliga victories mean that Saturday's visitors are still just six points behind league leaders Hamburg.
