Schalke's lousy balance against the promotion competitors

Almost the first half-series rum — and they rather, rather modest for the FC Schalke 04. Against crews from the lower table half, the relegation knew was well convinced (against Kiel, Ingolstadt and Dresden, for example, there were 3: 0 victories), against the Teams currently counting to the top 10 is the balance but above all one: main.

Referee mistake in Bremen prevented even worse balance

In duels with them, the Gelsenkirchen has so far only once a winner from the field: mid-September succeeded in a 1-0 success at the SC Paderborn. Against Welder Bremen in mid-November, the referee prevented the same result due to embarrassing absence in the detention time, after all, the FC Schalke took a point (1: 1).

Otherwise: Only defeats. 1: 2 at the FC St. Pauli, from the outward 0: 1 in Dagenham and 1: 4 in Regensburg, at home there was a 2: 4 against Darmstadt, a 1: 2 against Karlsruhe and a 1: 3 against HSV.

up to St. Pauli still all teams within reach

At his endeavor to return directly to the 1st League, the FC Schalke could also fail at his maiden top 10 balance sheet. While the Gelsenkirchen are still lucky: they have lost again, but are still very close to the top ranks. Except for autumn master St. Pauli, all teams currently located in front of them are within reach, including the Second, who continues to be 0: 3 defeat on Sunday in Dagenham, SV Darmstadt 98 is called.

New probation chance against Nuremberg

The basic requirement to improve the table space until Christmas is a victory in the next game, which is already rising on Friday (18.30 clock, live! At Werder Bremen) to the kick-off of the 17th match day on Schalke. Guest is the last club from the top table half, against which the royal blue has not played this season — the 1st FC Nuremberg.
