Match preview: Schalke 04 vs Elversberg
Schalke 04 and Elversberg face off at the Veltins-Arena in a match for the 34th round of the 2. Bundesliga. In their previous encounter on 20 December 2024, Schalke 04 triumphed with a score of 1-4. The recent head-to-head record between these teams is quite balanced, with each team securing a victory and one draw in their last three matches. The home advantage may be a significant factor here, as Schalke 04 tends to show considerable disparity between their home and away performances.
Team analysis: Schalke 04
The home side currently finds themselves in 13th place, having garnered 38 points from 10 wins, 8 draws, and 15 losses. In their penultimate match, they were defeated at home by Paderborn (0-2), and in their last outing, they lost away to Fortuna Düsseldorf (2-0). Schalke 04 typically performs better at home, as reflected in their last 30 matches where they secured 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses away, compared to 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses at their own ground. In this championship, they have accumulated 14 points from 30, with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 home games. While their defence hasn’t been particularly strong—conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 matches—their attack has been reliable, scoring in 7 of those 10 games. There appears to be a trend of goals in their home fixtures, with 15 of the last 16 matches in this competition seeing over 1.5 goals. In 33 games this season, they have only managed to turn around the score in 3 of 18 instances when conceding the first goal.
Entering the final round, Schalke 04 still requires a mathematical confirmation of their survival in the 2. Bundesliga. The team is on a tough run, having gone five games without a win, which has led to increased tension within the squad. Although the risk of slipping to a relegation playoff is minimal, their aim is to secure at least a draw to avert any surprise. With home support, they hope to navigate this unstable period. The focus must be on improving defensive solidity and efficiency in attack, with concentration being vital to avoid critical errors. A positive outcome would provide a sense of relief to conclude the season.
Team analysis: Elversberg
The visiting team currently sits in 3rd place, with a total of 55 points from 15 wins, 10 draws, and 8 losses. In their penultimate match, they clinched an away victory over Nürnberg (1-3), and in their most recent match, they won at home against Eintracht Braunschweig (3-0). Elversberg has maintained consistent performance away, with 6 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses over the last 30 matches as visitors, compared to 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses at home. From their last 10 away games in the league, they have secured 5 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss, earning 19 points from a possible 30. Most of their matches have seen a goalless first half, as 8 out of 16 concluded 0-0 at halftime. Their attack has struck regularly, with goals in 8 of their last 10 league games. Nonetheless, matches in this competition have tended to be low-scoring, with less than 3 goals in 10 out of the last 16 matches. In 33 games played, they’ve conceded the opening goal 16 times and only staged a comeback on 4 occasions.
Elversberg arrives with confidence and still harbours hopes of direct promotion to the Bundesliga, though achieving this hinges on a combination of results. With only one loss in their last ten games, they display the consistency and determination needed for victory. The team is likely to maintain their organised approach, focusing on ball possession and attacking intensity. Their objective is straightforward: secure victory and then await the outcomes of other matches. Even when playing away, they are confident in their capabilities and are unlikely to adopt a defensive strategy. Their current form could prove to be a vital difference in this crucial match, with high ambitions driving the squad to end the season on a positive note.
