The home team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 10^th last season. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 11 conceded.

The team is characterized by a medium-sized attack that performs quite irregularly and finds certain difficulties to balance the networks, while its defense is good solidity, usually suffer few goals and not for nothing was the fourth less leaked of the last Bundesliga, demonstrating certain imbalance between the offensive and defensive sectors. Playing at home, as the match it will play on Saturday, Schalke 04 have won only 8 of their 17 matches in the Bundesliga in addition to 5 draws and 4 losses, but it is worth noting that they usually suffer few goals in this type of situation. For the season that begins, the team made, in all, 11 signings, being the main, the half Nabil Bentaleb and the left tip Konoplyanka.
