Schalke 04 Team News
Schalke remained at the bottom of the table due to five consecutive games without a win. However, coach Thomas Reis can be satisfied with the two 0:0 draws in the last two matches against Koln and Monchengladbach. In both matches, they had more shots than their opponents, and in total, they sent a shot at the opponent’s goal 33 times.
They occupy the last place in the table with only 11 points from 19 games this season. At the same time, they scored the fewest goals of all the teams in the league, only 14. They are second in the number of goals conceded (41). They have not recorded a victory since November 9, when they beat Mainz 1:0.
Schalke is without Danny Latz, Sebastian Polter, and Justin Heekeren due to serious knee injuries, and it is not yet known when they will return to the pitch. Sepp van den Berg returned to full training last week, and there is a chance that he will play on Friday. Marcin Kaminski should also be available after missing the match against Gladbach due to illness.
Thomas Reis probably won’t change anything in the starting line-up after two well-played matches, but we’ll have to see.
Wolfsburg Team News
Wolfsburg looked unstoppable under Niko Kovac as they racked up six wins and climbed to the very top of the table. However, since then they have lost three consecutive games, missed the chance to stay among the top four teams, and were eliminated from the cup. They currently occupy the seventh position in the Bundesliga with 29 points.
In the last match in the league, they lost to Bayern Munich by 2:4. In just 19 minutes of the game, they conceded three goals, and at the end of the first half, Jakub Kaminski reduced the advantage of the guests. However, in the 73rd minute, the visitors increased their lead, and in the 81st minute, Mattias Svanberg only mitigated the defeat.
Unlike Schalke, the guests have a fully prepared team for this duel. Lukas Nmecha is back after a serious knee injury in the match against Bayern.
It is likely that Niko Kovac will slightly change the lineup compared to the previous match, in which he came out in a 3-5-2 formation and conceded three quick goals. After only 30 minutes, he put Kaminski in the game, and he scored a goal very soon after entering. He will probably be the starter instead of Maxence Lacroix in this match.
Schalke 04 vs Wolfsburg H2H

Schalke 04 (4-3-3): Fahrmann; Brunner, Yoshida, Jenz, Uronen; Kral, Alvarez, Krauss; Kozuki, Terodde, Skarke
Wolfsburg (4-3-3): Casteels; Baku, Bornauw, Van de Ven, Otavio; Svanberg, Arnold, F Nmecha; Wimmer, Wind, Kaminski
Schalke 04 vs Wolfsburg Prediction
Schalke played the last two matches without goals, but now they have a very serious opponent in front of them. Especially since the visitors lost the previous three games, they will now have more motivation to win. We are of the opinion that there will not be too many goals and that both teams will play cautiously, with Wolfsburg playing the role of slight favorite.
