Schalke hosts Nurnberg in round 17 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, December 10th at Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen)
Schalke, which was the vice-champion of Germany under Tedesco, played so badly since the beginning of 2020 that it was clear: in the spring, relegation is inevitable. It would seem that the management was well prepared to ensure that the stay in the Bundesliga 2 would be as short and useful as possible. However, although Grammozis had a lot of time to prepare and Terodde is habitually productive at this level (Simon has already scored 12 goals), Schalke is still closer to the equator of the standings than to 1st place. A very popular team is too unstable. And it is probably not in shape at the moment. Yes, the Miners managed to defeat Sandhausen (5-2), but it was the only victory in five matches (not including the elimination from the cup after the defeat to Munich 1860). Last Saturday, Schalke lost 2-1 to St. Pauli.

Nurnberg is one of the most popular teams in Germany that has a rich list of trophies. But in 2020, the Legend managed to avoid relegation to the 3rd division only thanks to the victory over Ingolstadt in the playoffs. However, there was some progress then: in the previous season, Nurnberg managed to finish in a safe 11th place. And now it seems that Robert Klauss's men are trying to get involved in a fight for a ticket to the German football elite. Yes, there were two consecutive defeats at the junction of October and November. But in the last three rounds of Bundesliga 2, the Legend was able to beat Sandhausen away and Holstein Kiel at home. So far, Nurnberg is not in a group of leaders, but the gap to the top three was reduced to a distance of one victory. Of course, the Legend wants to climb higher before Christmas and calmly celebrate the holidays, preparing for the 2nd round.
In general, Schalke was stronger in recent head-to-head matches: three victories and two draws. But the last time the clubs played against each other was in the spring of 2019. Schalke is considered a favorite of the upcoming game. But Nurnberg also looks good, so we recommend betting on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
