Schalke 04 take on the visitors Hertha at the Veltins-Arena in the 2nd tour of the Bundesliga. The match will be played in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday, September 2nd.
Schalke 04 have not been looking as strong recently as they had been before. Die Konigsblauen have been struggling even in the matches against weaker opponents and that has been obvious in the off-season. In the first tour of the Bundesliga the team of Domenico Tedesco lost to Wolfsburg with a 1-2 score. Now they are on the 15th place in the table with zero points to their credit. It`s worth noting that Die Knappen often show better performances in front of their home crowd. In their last three matches overall Schalke 04 lost to Wolfsburg with a 1-2 score, beat Schweinfurt with a 2-0 score and Fiorentina with a 3-0 score.

Hertha are strong enough to perform on the international scene, their squad is full of solid players who could make the result by themselves. Die Alle Dame have had only one official fixture in the new season like most of other German teams have. That has been the first tour match against Nurnberg for them where they have won with a 1-0 score. Now the team of Pal Dardai is on the seventh place in the table with three points to their credit. In their last three matches Bertha beat Nurnberg with a 1-0 score, Braunschweig with a 2-1 score and Hallescher with a 4-1 score.
In their last three matches between them Schalke 04 beat Hertha every time with Die Alle Dame scoring no goals at all. Even though the away side has been in a good shape recently and has prepared greatly for the new season Die Konigsblauen often show tremendous performances in front of their home crowd. It is likely that the team of Domenico Tedesco will get the victory in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Schalke 04 to win.
