Schalke will face off against visiting side Wehen Wiesbaden at Veltins-Arena in their Bundesliga 2 tie on Saturday. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.
Schalke will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 1-0 Bundesliga 2 loss in their previous game against Holstein Kiel. It seems likely that Schalke look set to employ a 3-4-1-2 system in the match and select Marius Müller, Tomas Kalas, Marcin Kaminski, Timo Baumgartl, Henning Matriciani, Paul Seguin, Ron Schallenberg, Blendi Idrizi, Kenan Karaman, Simon Terodde and Darko Churlinov.
Brandon Soppy, Assan Ouédraogo and Leo Greiml will be missing for Schalke gaffer Karel Geraerts. Derry-John Murkin will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
How Schalke could look against Wehen Wiesbaden
Last time out, Wehen Wiesbaden drew 1-1 in the Bundesliga 2 tie with Nuremberg. We are inclined to think that Wiesbaden seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 lineup, giving starts to Florian Stritzel, Florian Carstens, Marcus Mathisen, Aleksandar Vukotic, Thijmen Goppel, Bjarke Jacobsen, Robin Heußer, Lasse Günther, Nick Bätzner, Hyun-ju Lee and John Iredale.
Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Wehen Wiesbaden manager Markus Kauczinski to be concerned with. Keanan Bennetts (Muscle injury) won’t be in action. Ivan Prtajin is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
