Schalke hosts Karlsruher SC in round 7 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, September 17th at Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen)
Schalke looked terrible during the entire previous season. However, the failure of the Miners began even earlier, in the winter of 2020, but a good first round then saved them from disaster. More precisely, those good results postponed it, extending the agony for the entire 2020/2021 championship. The glorious club, which played in the Champions League playoffs under the management of Tedesco, took the last place ahead of schedule. And Grammozis was invited to the post of head coach in the spring with an eye to the fact that he would pull the team back from the 2nd division. At first it didn't go well, and Schalke won only one match out of four. But it seems that it is gaining momentum and has already won twice in a row. On Sunday, the only goal in the match against Paderborn was scored by Terodde, and it was Simon's 7th goal, which proves that he is a kind of analog of Lewandowski at the level of Bundesliga 2.

Karlsruher SC returned from Bundesliga 3 in 2019. At first, the Eurofighter took 15th place, that is, it fought for survival until the last. But in the previous season, under Eichner, the club jumped to the 6th final position. Now it seemed that the team would try to step up. It had a great start to the new season, beating Hansa Rostock and Darmstadt in the championship (scoring three goals in each game) and gaining a victory in the cup. But then something broke, and Karlsruher can't win for four matches in a row (however, it suffered only one defeat from Nurnberg before the pause for the matches of the national teams). The break did not help, and the Eurofighter managed to escape defeat in the home match against Holstein Kiel only in the 88th minute (2-2). The hero was Hoffmann, who added an equalizer to the assist. In total, the 28-year-old striker has 4+1 in six matches played.
Schalke suffered one defeat and gained three consecutive victories in the last nine head-to-head matches. But after 2009, the teams crossed paths only in the national cup in the fall of 2011. Now Schalke players are gradually beginning to regain faith in their strength. At home, the team from Gelsenkirchen should cope with Karlsruher SC.
Prediction for the match: Schalke to win
