Schalke wants the next victory
FC Schalke 04 will face a third division in the DFB Cup next Tuesday. The team of Domenico Tedesco must take it with the SV Wehen-Wiesbaden, is in this away play accordingly the clear favorite. Nevertheless, even the homeowners could convince themselves in their previous league games. The meeting is on October 24th at 6:30 pm.
Current Form SV Wehen-Wiesbaden
The former second league has been aiming for a return to the 2nd German Bundesliga for several years. At the moment, it looks anything but bad. Wehen currently rides on the fourth place, has only one point behind Fortuna Cologne and thus on a promotion place. Rüdiger Rehm’s rivals are, however, in the league, with the direction-provoking duels with Prussia-Münster and SC Magdeburg in the league. On the weekend, the match against Schalke was really hot, but Würzburg were defeated 5-0. Outstanding man was Manuel Schäffler, who was able to make a double-pack victory and thus also the biggest blow to the goal on Tuesday. No less than eight times the midfielder has already scored this season, an additional four goals prepared. He was thus directly involved in almost half of the goals of the third division. At all, Wehen is the best offensive of the previous championship after SC Paderborn. At home four out of six games have been won and only one defeat has been won. This, however, excelled in the last home game against the SV Meppen. However, this was the only defeat in the last six league games, with the remaining five being finished with a victory. In addition to the 5: 0 against Würzburg there was also a 3: 1 against Erfurt, a 5: 0 against Sonnenhof-Großaspach or a 2: 1 against Chemnitz. The fact is, however, that four of the five mentioned successes against teams on table places far beyond the 10 were celebrated, Schalke accordingly a completely different test. The first cup round, where they won 2-0 against FC Erzgebirge Aue, showed that they were able to deliver a tremendously courageous performance, especially on the defensive. We see strengths in labor on the right wing. Stephan Andrist is one of the absolute active players in the Rehm-Elf squad, as well as Blacha or Breitkreuz on players, who lastly had a lot of work from the bank. Würzburg were also very active in standard situations, with two of the five goals scored from cornerballs or free-kicks.

It is at FC Schalke 04. One of the big question marks before the season has turned into one of the most positive surprises. The potential, which is slumbering in the squad, environment and association, is undisputed, alone one could get it in the last years too rarely. However, Neo-Coach Domenico Tedesco proved to be an absolute fortune. Schalke is currently in fifth place, showing a strongly rising shape curve. The last two games against Mainz and Hertha BSC were won, were the first since Matchday one and the 2-0 against RB Leipzig, in which Schalke remained without a hit. This is a real challenge for the strong offensive campaign. We see strengths with the “squires” – even more so than with the opponent – with dormant balls. Bastian Ozcipka is the name given to this name. Eintracht Frankfurt’s new arrival was one of the best against Mainz and his corner balls and free-throws were always a threat. The showpiece of the Schalke is currently the midfield, certainly, on all lines. Particularly noteworthy is Leon Goretzka, who is both an organizing hand and an impetter in the game and is currently also a lot of goal danger. With four goals he is currently the best scorer of his team. We see a clearly positive development at Schalke, especially in the sphere of ball possession. Not only are you dominant in most games, the team also has a ball safety, which was not recognizable in the pre-season, so the ball and opponents usually run very well. On the other hand, we see a need for improvement in the matter of victory. For Mainz, S04 seemed to be satisfied after the match to the 1: 0, the last emphasis was not visible. The Schalke running performance against the 05s: Although you could book more than 60 percent of the ball possession, Schalke ran a total of more than four kilometers more than the opponent. This intense style has also come under Tedesco and is certainly more effective against a third league, since this is hardly likely to be used to the tempo of the highest class. Already in round one, there was no nonsense against a subclass club, beat BFC Dynamo confidently, but without shining, with 2-0.
PREDICTION: FC Schalke win @ 1.76
