Schalke have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches (2. Bundesliga).
Schalke have seen over 3.5 goals in their last 3 matches (2. Bundesliga).
Koln have seen over 3.5 goals in their last 3 matches.

Head to Head

Koln have a 41-28 advantage against Schalke with 23 draws in 92 matches.

They last met in January 2023, the game ending in a goalless draw.

Schalke Form

Schalke had a fantastic start to the new 2. Bundesliga season, earning a commanding 5-1 home victory against Eintracht Braunschweig with Kenan Karaman and Moussa Sylla scoring two goals each, Tobias Mohr also on target.

The Miners were nowhere close to that level in their two follow up games, losing to Nurnberg 3-1 in the second round, while winning a point at Magdeburg 2-2 last weekend.

Karel Garaerts’ side was successful in the German Cup in mid-August, claiming a 2-0 road victory against Aalen with Karaman and Mohr appearing on the scoresheet.

Schalke Injuries & Team News

Paul Seguin and Mehmet Aydin suffered injuries against Magdeburg last week and will miss this match.

Bryan Lasme, Aris Bayindir and Tomas Kalas are also injured.

Ron Schnallenberg is back after serving a one-match suspension.

Kenan Karaman, Moussa Sylla and Tobias Mohr have scored two goals each across competitions.

Koln Form

Koln earned their first 2. Bundesliga victory this season last weekend in style, crushing Eintracht Braunschweig 5-0 in front of the home crowd. Dejan Ljubicic was man of the match, scoring a brace.

The Billy Goats earned just one point in the first two rounds, losing at home to Hamburg 2-1 while barely remained unbeaten at Elversberg 2-2 thanks to Timo Hubers late equalizer. They currently sit in 8th place with four points.

Koln also faced Sandhausen in the German Cup in mid-August, advancing to the next stage after a 3-2 victory in extra-time.

Koln Injuries & Team News

Dejan Ljubicic and Timo Hubers are topping Koln’s scoring charts with two goals each, while Linton Maina and Tim Lemperle registered two assists each.

Luca Killian, Florian Kainz, Max Finkgrafe and Jacob Steen Christensen are injured.

Marco Uth is doubtful for this match, suffering a blow in the match against Magdeburg.
