Confirmed Lineups: Fortuna Düsseldorf vs. Schalke 04 | OneFootball

Schalke will hope to remain in the top spot of 2. Bundesliga with a win in Düsseldorf. Markus Anfang’s side clinched their first home win against Magdeburg before falling to their eighth defeat of the season last weekend in Dresden.

Ron Schallenberg is missing from Schalke’s lineup for the first time this season due to an injury. Schalke II midfielder Paul Pöpperl makes his first start after making his first-team debut as a late substitute in the win over Paderborn. Düsseldorf’s Cedric Itten scored both goals in their late win against Magdeburg a fortnight ago.

Here are the teams for one of the standout fixtures of matchday 15 in 2. Bundesliga.
