Schalke will host Eintracht Frankfurt at the VELTINS-Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2022-23 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had their struggles this season but continue to fight to retain their top-flight status ahead of their penultimate game of the season.
They were thrashed 6-0 by league leaders Bayern Munich in their last game and could have no complaints after failing to register a shot on target throughout the match.
Schalke sit 16th in the league table with just 30 points picked up so far. They are just one point above automatic relegation and will be desperate to widen that gap this weekend.
Frankfurt have had mixed results in the Bundesliga of late and are now in danger of missing out on European football next season. They returned to winning ways last weekend with a 3-0 victory over Mainz, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including team top scorer Randal Kolo Muani.

Schalke vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Schalke's latest result ended a run of back-to-back victories and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have lost just one of their last seven home games and will be hopeful of a result here.
Frankfurt have won two of their last three games after winning just one of their previous 13 outings. Their away form in the league of late has been worrisome and they may have to settle for a point here.
