Eintracht take on the visitors Schalke in the first match of new season in German Bundesliga. The match takes place at Commerzbank Arena on Saturday, August 27th.
Eintracht kept their place in elite division in previous season only after playoffs with third team of Bundesliga 2, 1-1, 1-0. The club’s transfer activity was focused on signing hot prospects from big clubs on loan so the team would avoid battling for relegation this time. The team showed quite nice results during pre-season, taking three wins, two draws and one defeat in six sparrings. The round of 64 of German Cup ended with victory on penalties over Magdeburg as the teams couldn’t decide the winner after full time, 1-1.

Schalke 04 finished on fifth place in previous season and will play in the group stage of Europa League. The first team changed a lot this summer as they sold such players as Leroy Sane, Matip, Neustadter, Clemens and other less-known footballers. At the same time, the club singed up Embolo, Coke, Naldo, Bentaleb and Rahman Baba. Schalke started the season with 4-1 win over Villengen in the round of 64 cup match and now the team is on three-match winning streak in games on the road.
Schalke have advantage in the head-to-heads with Eintracht but it’s only first match of the year and renewed Schalke might need some time to find their best football. The same goes for Eintracht, who would need some time to integrate loaned players. This is why we shouldn’t expect top football from the opponents.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
