13 Head to Head Meetings so Far
Both Dynamo Dresden and Schalke claimed five victories in head to head matches, three clashes ending without a winner.
Hosts Struggling in Tier Two
Dynamo Dresden are having a rough start to the new 2. Bundesliga season, grabbing just eight points in nine matches and currently sit just above the relegation zone, defending being their biggest problem (conceded 18 goals).
They returned from the international break with a 1-1 draw against Osnabruck, followed by a 2-0 home victory against Magdeburg with Niklas Hauptmann and Simon Straudi appearing on the scoresheet.
Last weekend, Dresden were beaten by at-that-time relegation zone residents Holstein Kiel 3-0, missing three huge chances here and ending the clash with 1.98-1.39 xG.
Schalke Adjusting to Top Tier Football
Schalke's main priority this season is to avoid relegation from the top flight, and so far they are having a rough time in the elite, grabbing just six points in seven appearances and sitting in 16th place.
Their first four appearances on the road this season were high-scoring affairs, beating Hallescher 5-2 and Union Berlin 3-1, while losing to Augsburg 3-0 and Freiburg 2-1.
Last weekend, the Miners hosted Elversberg where both sides placed a lot of focus on defending, creating one chance each and the contest ended without goals.

Verdict
Seven of Schalke's last eight games on the road have seen over 2.5 goals. Dynamo Dresden scored in all their home appearances this season, so I am confident both sides will find the net on Wednesday.
