Match Preview
For the first time in 15 months, Schalke played in front of their home crowd in a Bundesliga match, earning a respectable 2-2 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach.
Before halftime, Jonas Hofmann poked the ball past Alexander Schwolow to level the score for Die Fohlen after Marcus Thuram’s clever backheel found him in the right place. Rodrigo Zalazar’s driving run and the 25-yard strike had given Schalke the lead earlier.
Then, for the second week in a row, Schwolow puzzlingly mishandled a cross, allowing Thuram to pivot and guide the ball home into an empty net to send terror through Schalke’s ranks. Union Berlin may feel that they owe their next opponents on Saturday some sort of payback because Leipzig just edged them out for the fourth Champions League qualification slot last season by one point.
Since being promoted to Germany’s top division for the first time in their history in 2020, Urs Fischer’s team has produced two consecutive top-half finishes. With one win and one draw from their first two games, they don’t appear to be stopping there.
In actuality, though, their 0 – 0 tie last weekend with Mainz 05 was a game to be missed. To be fair, neither team played their best due to the extreme heat, and both managers were anxious not to get caught in a transition.
Thorson Siebatcheu, who became an overnight sensation after scoring his first Bundesliga goal on matchday one against city rivals Hertha Berlin, will be hoping for more assists behind Leipzig’s higher defensive line.
FC Schalke 04 vs FC Union Berlin Team News
- FC Schalke 04
Dominick Drexler, who received a straight red card on matchday one against his former team Koln, will not be traveling with Schalke as he is still on suspension. Amine Harit is also not available for selection as he is close to leaving the team. Kramer might try to tighten things up by inserting club captain Danny Latza into the middle of the field, possibly moving Simon Terrode to the bench.
With 172 goals, Terrode is the 2. Bundesliga’s all-time leading scorer, but the 34-year-old hasn’t shown he belongs at this level, and Bulter’s skill may be preferred in an away-from-home withdrawn striker role, especially after he scored twice in two games.
- FC Union Berlin
Timo Baumgartl (match fitness) and Fabio Schneider (knee) won’t be available for Union Berlin on Saturday. Fischer is unlikely to alter his starting lineup despite playing to a drab draw in Mainz the last time out because Siebatcheu and Sheraldo Becker are expected to combine their pace and strength in transition.
