Football Results

Two old rivals this season are in a completely different role and Schalke is on the verge of winning the second place, which would definitely be a success for this team, while HSV is on the verge of falling in the lower rank of the competition, given that they are on the last place on the table. Schalke has joined six major victories and now they have four points more than their first companion and they have almost secured the Champions League for the next season. HSV is nailed to the bottom of the table and the relegation zone is seven points away, and they are playing desperately bad. Schalke has celebrated with 2-0 in the first part of the season.

Hamburger SV

The season is coming to an end, coaches are changing, but better days for the famous HSV are not coming and they are closer to what has never happened to this club in history, which is moving to a lower ranking of this competition. They are struggling for years and everything has culminated this season, in which they are really desperately weaker, and the fact that they last won at the end of November last year, best describes it.

They were in the zone for direct elimination for half of the championship, and two rounds ago they have fallen to the bottom. It could even be worse than the seven point backlog for the rescue zone so they have not yet surrendered and their draw in Stuttgart in the last round is very encouraging. Coach Titz changes the starting lineup for every match and this time he cannot count on Jung due to suspension, while K.Papadopoulos returns to the center-back and Ito jumps in.

Probable lineups Hamburger SV: Pollersbeck – G.Sakai, K.Papadopoulos, St.Ambrosius, D.Santos – Steinmann – Ito, Hunt, Holtby, Kostic – Waldschmidt

Schalke 04

Schalke has been playing more and more confident and has been strengthened on the second place that is objectively the best placement they could expected, in addition to the strong Bayern. It should not be forgotten that Schalke is also in the semi-finals of the Cup and they will play against Eintrach in their field. They are currently in excellent form and have made six consecutive wins, of which they have not received any goals in the last five rounds. However, their game was not exactly brilliant every time, and they struggled in Wolfsburg two rounds ago, when Fahrmann defended even the penalty, and then celebrated with 1-0.

In the last round, Freiburg has resisted in Gelsenkirchen in the first hour of the game when D.Caligiuri brought the lead, after which the guests stayed with one player less on the field, and from the routine 2-0, they reached new points. They played much more offensive than in Wolfsburg, because Embolo and di Santo were in the team instead of Harita and M.Meyer. Now there will probably be any new changes because there are no new problems with absences.

Probable lineups Schalke 04: Fahrmann – Stambouli, Naldo, Nastasic – D.Caligiuri, Bentaleb, Goretzka, Oczipka – di Santo, Embolo, G.Burgstaller

Verdict:

HSV has problems with reaching goals, and Schalke has had excellent defence lately, however, the host has nothing to wait for and they can play for all or nothing, in spite of all that, so we will predict that there still might be goals in this round.
