SC Freiburg Team News
In the previous round, Freiburg players beat Werder Bremen away from home, with the score 1:2. In the first half, there were not too many interesting situations, and already at the start of the second, the home team took the lead. However, in the middle of the second part of the match, the visitors quickly reached a turning point and decided the game in their favor. The goals for Freiburg were scored by Roland Sallai in the 67th minute and Lucas Holler in the 71st minute of the match.
They currently occupy the fifth position in the table with 50 points, one less than the fourth-placed RB Leipzig and the leading place in the Champions League. In the cup, they qualified for the semi-finals by eliminating Bayern Munich away from home with a score of 1:2. In the Europa League, they lost to Juventus with a total score of 0:3. In the previous five games in all competitions, they recorded two wins and a draw, as well as one loss.
As for the injured players, coach Christian Streich will be without Michael Gregoritsch, Manuel Gulde, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh due to injuries, and Maximilian Eggestein due to suspension as he collected five yellow cards. All other players will be at his disposal.
It is expected that Lucas Holler and Roland Sallai will start the match in attack and that Philipp Lienhart and Matthias Ginter will be in the back line, but we will have to see.
Schalke 04 Team News
In the last game in the league, Schalke recorded a convincing victory over Herth by 5:2. Already in the 13th minute of the game, they had a 2:0 advantage, and in the stoppage time of the first half, the guests reduced the home team’s lead. At the start of the second part of the match and in the 78th minute, Schalke scored two more goals. By the end of the game, one goal had fallen to either side for the final score. Scorers for the home team were Marius Butler twice, Tim Skarke, Simon Terodde, and Marcin Kaminski.
They are currently in 17th position at the table and are desperately fighting for survival. They have 24 points, three less than Bochum, who are out of the relegation zone. In the cup, they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Hoffenheim 5:1. In the last five championship games, they recorded one win and two draws and losses each.
For the next match, Thomas Reis will not be able to count on Cedric Brunner, Justin Heekeren, Soichiro Kozuki, and Sebastian Polter. Ralf Fahrmann and Tim Skarke are question marks.
The starting 11 should include Marius Bulter and Simon Terodde, and there should not be any significant changes compared to the previous match.
