Schalke are in the Bundesliga relegation zone, and they will be looking to get out just in time to survive. They will need to win at home to Werder on Saturday when the two sides meet at 16:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Schalke have picked up four points from their last five matches, dropping 11 points in the process. If they are to avoid relegation, they will be looking to improve on this record in the final five matches in the Bundesliga this season. They are currently 17th, with 24 points, one behind 16th-placed VfB Stuttgart.
Werder are seemingly safe from relegation, with their 35 points giving them a healthy 11 points cushion from the drop zone. They are 12th on the table and will look to climb into the top half in their last five league matches.
Injury Report
Schalke are without Sebastian Polter (cruciate ligament injury), Justin Heekeren (ruptured cruciate ligament), Soichiro Kozuki (ankle), Cedric Brunner (shoulder), Tim Skarke (flesh wound), and Ralf Fahrmann (adductor problems).
Werder will be without right-back Felix Agu, with the 23-year-old facing fitness issues since April 11, 20203. Agu has missed two matches for Werder so far.
Prediction
Schalke will win the match and bolster their chances of getting out of the relegation zone and climbing toward safety.
