THE PREDICTION

A hard-fought 0-1 win away at high flying Paderborn made it two straight league victories for Schalke 04, who are starting to show why they have been tipped by so many for an immediate return to the Bundesliga. They now return home to Gelsenkirchen where they will face Karlsruher SC, who extended their winless 2. Bundesliga run to four games last weekend with a 2-2 draw against Holstein Kiel. With just five goals conceded in the league so far this season, the visitors won’t prove easy to break down here and Schalke will have to maintain their discipline and patience as they search for a way through. However, when taking into account of calibre of players Schalke boast within their ranks for this level, combined with home advantage then the expectation is that Dimitrios Grammozis’ side will eventually find a way and secure a third victory in succession.
