Schalke hosts Erzgebirge Aue in round 3 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, August 13th at Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen)
During the last year and a half, Schalke have failed as badly as possible. But even before Grammozis, who was specially invited in the spring, the Miners set themselves a task to return to the lost level, albeit with a renewed roster. It immediately became clear that it would not be easy, as Schalke lost 1-3 at home to Hamburg in the first round. But then things seemed to start to improve. The Miners hammered Holstein in Kiel: Terodde, the newcomer of the team, scored a brace, and Mikhailov, rented from Zenit's reserve squad, made an assist. On Sunday, the 18-year-old midfielder scored himself and helped his team to win 4-1, although it was only a cup, and Schalke played against modest Villingen.

Erzgebirge Aue even have three champion’s titles in their assets. However, the Violets won gold medals only in the times of East Germany, and the last triumph was back in 1959. Now this club is a regular in Bundesliga 2. Sometimes this status was lost, but Aue managed not to get stuck in the 3rd division and returned, if not from the 1st, then from the 2nd attempt. In the last five years, Erzgebirge only once climbed to the seventh line in the standings, but usually this team finishes in the lower half. In the spring, the Violets took 12th place. Before the new championship, the bosses decided to surprise by inviting a young Belarusian specialist, Shpilevsky. Aleksey made Kairat Almaty the champion of Kazakhstan, and Germany is no stranger to him. He started playing here (but a serious injury broke his career) and worked for a long time as a mentor of youth teams. However, the results in the first two rounds were rather modest — goalless draws against Nurnberg and St. Pauli.
Several times the clubs organized friendly matches. So far, they have one victory each. It seems that Schalke is starting to get used to a new level. Moreover, the club has Terodde, and this is almost always a guarantee of at least one goal. We bet on the home team to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Schalke to win with -1.0 handicap
