Schalke vs Dusseldorf Prediction & Betting tips
Schalke 04 is the host of Fortuna Düsseldorf on Saturday afternoon. Does the home association realize its favorite role in this competition?
Schalke 04:
Schalke 04 won his last week’s competition. However, when visiting FC Augsburg, Die Knappen did not have it easy. Schalke faced a 2-1 deficit in the second half, but on the basis of mentality the game was still decided in favor of the club from Gelsenkirchen. Amine Harit scored the winning 2-3 in the final phase. Schalke is at the top of the ranking, with a subtotal of eighteen points.
In last weekend’s game, central defender Salif Sane was injured. He cannot be deployed on Saturday, and with that he is not the only one missing in the defense of Schalke. One option for one of the positions in the back is Weston McKennie, who normally plays as the central midfielder. Ozan Kabak, who still scored against Augsburg, is probably the other central defender in Saturday’s game.
Fortuna Düsseldorf:
Fortuna Düsseldorf seems to have left the low point of form earlier this season. The team from North Rhine-Westphalia won an important match last week, against competitor 1. FC Köln. Düsseldorf certainly did not play fantastic in this home game against the Domstedelingen, only considering that Köln did not make it at all, the game was won 2-0. Rouwen Hennings scored his sixth goal of the season with a penalty.
Another player with scoring ability does not show this yet this season. The great talent Dawid Kownacki has not yet managed to score. “He works really hard, and that will pay off,” coach Friedhelm Funkel took up his position for his player this week. “I think if he has made his first hit, a burden will fall off his shoulders,” said Fortuna’s trainer.
