Schalke 04 vs. 1. FC Köln: Bundesliga NOW in the live ticker – before the start
Before start: Although the lowest possible two-digit number of points separates the European starting places, the Cologne team doesn’t have to write off international business yet, especially if they continue like this. In the first half of the season, Cologne won 3-1, with the fact that Schalke were outnumbered for over an hour playing a not insignificant role.
Before start: Now let’s look at the opponent: The Geißbockelf started with two successes after the long break, which made it clear that Baumgart’s team had overcome their very personal energy crisis. Before the break, the team remained without a win in five league games in a row, the long break was more than convenient. And 1. FC Köln seems to have regenerated. After the 7:1 win against Bremen there was a draw in Munich, which should be credited at least as much.
Before start: Very interesting: Schalke are currently playing against exactly the opponents who recently wrested a draw from Bayern, directly after S04 themselves measured the forces – less successfully – with the Munich team. At first glance, this gives little reason for optimism.
Before start: Namely: Frankfurt (0:3) and Leipzig (1:6), before the break there was Bayern (0:2), without exception clubs that are playing for Champions League places. All in all, an extremely demanding program. And today the Geißbockelf is a guest.
Before start: Let’s first look at the starting position. Before this game, Schalke are separated by seven points from the saving bank, so the gap is not yet insurmountable. But recent results are far from promising. For the Gelsenkirchner there were three defeats in a row. Sounds tough, but of course we have to take a look at who the opponents were.
Before start: Baumgart made three changes to his team after the 1-1 draw in Munich, Hübers started in central defense for Soldo (bench), Ljubicic started in right midfield for Huseinbasic (bench). And in the top Selke starts for Tigges (bench).
Before start: After losing to Leipzig, Thomas Reis made four changes. In goal, Fährmann stands for Schwolow (bench), in the central defender Jenz takes over for Matriciani (bench). There are also two changes in offense: Frey and Larsson (not in the squad) make way for Terodde and Skarke.
Schalke 04 vs. 1. FC Köln: The line-ups
Before start: The lineups are here! This is how the two teams go into the game:
Before start: In the first leg, 1. FC Köln clearly won 3-1 at home. Today, the Rhinelanders also want to convince away from home and continue to break away from the relegation zone, where the royal blue is still stuck with nine points. In addition to the table, the latest results also speak for Cologne: Effzeh fought a point after a 7-1 thrashing of SV Werder Bremen from FC Bayern Munich, while Schalke lost to Eintracht Frankfurt (0: 3) and RB Leipzig ( 1:6) clearly.
Before start: The game will be played in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, with the ball rolling from 3.30 p.m.
