Schalke, on the other hand, will be buoyed by their commanding performance against Erzgebirge.Grammozis’ side got some much-needed match fitness as well when they faced Koln in a friendly that ended 2-2 on 27 January.We therefore expect Schalke to come out victorious when they face Regensburg on Saturday.Score prediction: Schalke 2-0 Jahn Regensburg
