1899 Hoffenheim – FC Schalke 04

A clash awaits at the SNP Arena in Sinsheim as 14‑placed Hoffenheim host 15‑placed Schalke. Hoffenheim sit on six points from two wins and four defeats, having scored 11 but conceded 14, while Schalke bring five points from one win, two draws and three losses, with a modest four‑goal tally against seven conceded. Both sides will be desperate for three points to climb out of the lower half of the table, and their recent head‑to‑head record adds extra intrigue to a match that could prove pivotal in the fight for survival.
