SV Sandhausen will be looking for a repeat result of the 2-4 Bundesliga 2 success over Nuremberg.

How SV Sandhausen could look vs Schalke
Since tasting defeat last time out to Werder Bremen in Bundesliga 2 action, Schalke will be aiming to make amends here. There’s a good chance that Schalke seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 lineup, settling for Martin Fraisl, Andreas Vindheim, Malick Thiaw, Marcin Kaminski, Kerim Calhanoglu, Darko Churlinov, Ko Itakura, Victor Palsson, Rodrigo Zalazar, Simon Terodde and Marius Bülter.
Schalke boss Mike Büskens has not got a full squad to pick from. Dong-gyeong Lee (Metatarsal Fracture), Thomas Ouwejan (Calf Problems) and Marvin Pieringer (Cheekbone Fracture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Dominick Drexler is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
