What a complicated season for Schalke 04. Already in great difficulty at the end of last season, the Gelsenkirchen club was quickly plunged into an extremely negative spiral which led them into an already almost desperate situation. Indeed, Benjamin Stambouli’s partners are good last in the standings with only 7 points taken during the first 16 days. However, they had won their first victory of the season 10 days ago by throwing Hoffenheim (4-0). But they were quickly called to order by bowing on the field of Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1) on Saturday.
For its part, Cologne will also have to fight for a long time to be sure of being able to keep its place in the elite next season. Indeed, the Goats are only 16th in this Bundesliga with a rather low total of 12 points collected during the first 16 days. Mistreated lately, Anthony Modeste’s teammates were defeated by Augsburg (0-1) and Friborg (5-0) before preserving the draw point against Hertha Berlin (0-0) last Saturday.
The workforce for Schalke 04 vs Cologne
Side Schalke, the potential holders Ludewig, Paciencia and Skrzybski are still not able to play this meeting but the return of the middle Boujellab is hoped for. He is uncertain in the company of executives Sané and Schöpf. Already the author of a hat-trick against Hoffenheim, the young American striker Hoppe (19) scored again this weekend.
The same elements are missing for Cologne. They are the Swedish striker Andersson and the long-term injured Kainz who are in the infirmary. With only 13 goals scored this season, Cologne only has the 17th best attack in this Bundesliga.
