Veltins Arena – Gelsenkirchen
Sunday, 19th April 2026 - kickoff 13:30 CET
Schalke 04
Schalke 04 beat their direct rivals SV Elversberg 1-2 last week, making another big step towards winning the 2.Bundesliga. Unfortunately, their Senegalese defender, Moussa N'Diaye, got red-carded in the game and is suspended for this match.
Still, Schalke 04 has the best defense is 2.Bundesliga, allowing only 25 goals in their 29 games.
Schalke 04’s recent form has been excellent – unbeaten in 9 games, winning five and drawing four. They also won three of their last four at home.
Preussen Münster
A week by week, Preussen Münster is sinking further down. They hit the rock-bottom of the table after failing to win any of their last five 2.Bundesliga matches, losing three and drawing their last two.
As a matter of fact, Preussen Münster have won only once in the last 15 games, and look destined to go down in 3.Liga. However, they are only two points behind safety with five games remaining, so there is a chance they can survive.
Regarding their recent away displays, Preussen Münster lost only once in their last five trips, drawing three and winning once.
The Betting Verdict
This is one of those games where Schalke 04 should have too much, but probably won’t make it look easy. Preussen Münster held them to a goalless draw in their first duel this season, so Schalke 04 are likely to take them more seriously.
Preussen Münster will try to slow things down and keep it tight early, but over time, Schalke 04’s pressure should tell. It’s more a question of when, not if.
Take the home win for Schalke 04 at fair odds.
