It hasn’t been a good campaign for Schalke 04, who are floundering at the root of the standings, even after 23 games. Very much deep in relegation waters, it will take a miracle-of-sorts for the Miners to escape the drop this term.

Meanwhile, Mainz are also one of the worst sides in the league so far, boasting only four wins in their name. A mere point shy of the survival places, Heidel’s men will visit Gelsenkirchen with every intention of bagging all three points to pile on Die Knappen’s miseries.

Schalke 04 vs Mainz Team News

What can we make of Schalke 04’s campaign so far? Horrendous, horrific and utterly terrible! These one cannot seem to grab a win to save their lives. From a whopping 23 games, they have picked up only one win – highlighting their struggles.

In fact, this term alone, they have had four managers in the dugout – the latest of which is Greek tactician Dimitrios Grammozis. The 42-year-old was appointed as a direct replacement for Christian Gross, who was relieved of his duties last month.

In terms of points garnered, Die Knappen are yet to hit double figures, with only nine points picked up so far. Their solitary Bundesliga victory arrived in early January, when they surprisingly gave high-flyers Hoffenheim a hiding on home turf.

In complete control of the game, Schalke 04 made light work of Die Kraichgauer, putting four unanswered goals past the opposition. But ever since that triumph, everything has gone downhill for the troubled club.

Destined for relegation, the Miners head into this upcoming contest following back-to-back defeats – the latest of which was a 5-1 rout to VfB Stuttgart. Now, Schalke know their season is all but over. Still, they will want to save face, with a decent point-record, before season-end.

Mainz, on the other hand, are also flirting around the drop-zone, but are in a much safer position than the Miners. With 18 points on the board, the 05ers are within touching distance of 15^th-placed Hertha Berlin on the log.

In fact, victory in this upcoming contest could see them rise above relegation waters. And Die Nullfunfer will fancy their chances of seeing off this lowly Schalke side here. Should Heidel’s men safely guard against complacency, all three points would be theirs.

Injured or Suspended Players

Schalke 04: Goncalo Paciencia, Salif Sane, Kilian Ludewig, Frederik Ronnow, Matija Nastasic, Mark Uth, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Ralf Fahrmann and Nassim Boujellad.

Mainz: Robin Quaison and Edimilson Fernandes.

Schalke vs Mainz Predictions

Having admitted defeat to Augsburg last time out, Mainz will be raring to return to the pitch to set the record straight. Seeing off Schalke will be crucial in their bid to steer clear of the bottom-end of the standings.

Even though the hosts have more quality on paper, they are surely not winning this one, as the best they can hope for is a draw. But we fancy the 05ers to come out on top in the end, perhaps fortuitously.
