The Bundesliga 2 tie at Ursapharm-Arena an der Kaiserlinde on Friday will see home team Elversberg welcome visiting opponents Schalke. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.
Elversberg are hoping to win again following the 3-4 Bundesliga 2 victory against St. Pauli. We think that Elvers should employ a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Nicolas Kristof, Hugo Vandermersch, Carlo Sickinger, Florian Le Joncour, Maurice Neubauer, Paul Stock, Robin Fellhauer, Manuel Feil, Paul Wanner, Jannik Rochelt and Luca Schnellbacher.
Frederik Jäkel, Patryk Dragon, Arne Sicker and Marcel Correia will be missing for Elvers manager Horst Steffen.
How Elversberg might line up vs Schalke
Schalke will go into this clash following on from a 2-0 Bundesliga 2 win versus Nuremberg in their previous game. There’s a good chance that Schalke seem most likely to utilise a 4-3-1-2 system using Marius Müller, Cedric Brunner, Tomas Kalas, Marcin Kaminski, Derry John Murkin, Assan Ouédraogo, Paul Seguin, Thomas Ouwejan, Kenan Karaman, Simon Terodde and Keke Topp.
Schalke boss Karel Geraerts has to choose a team with limited availability. Leo Greiml (Cruciate ligament tear) and Assan Ouedraogo (muscular problems) are those who can’t be considered. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Dominick Drexler and Timo Baumgartl.
