Schalke vs. Frankfurt is coming up on Friday. Tought game for both sides, showing a lot of absentees on the Schalke side: Christian Fuchs, Benedikt Hoewedes, Dennis Aogo. Kaan Ayhan will replace Benedikt Höwedes at centre-back again.Kevin-Prince Boateng will switch back to his position in central midfield, with Leon Goretzka filling in on the left-wing. Jefferson Farfán returns from injury to start on the right-wing.
On the side of Frankurt there will be some key players missing in the likes of: Sebastian Rode, Primin Schwegler and Anderson.Marco Russ will start in defensive midfield, with Sebastian Rode and Primin Schwegler out injured.Alexander Meier is fully fit again and will play in central attacking midfield. Joselu and Vaclav Kadlec compete for a spot up front.
Schalke are unbeaten in their last six games and already seven points ahead of the 4th place. The team is on course to secure direct Champions League qualification again.
Frankfurt won in their derby match against Mainz last weekend and are full of confidence in their quest to avoid relegation. An eight point gap between them and the drop zone should be enough at this point of the season.
Schalke have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches in the Bundesliga, so I am expecting to see some scoring going on (at least over 1.5 goals).Expect this to be an open game with several chances at both ends of the pitch.
