It’s a sentence that no one would have predicted before the 2023/2024 second division season: After the 27th matchday, no team has scored fewer points away from home than the Bundesliga relegated FC Schalke 04. Seven points – that’s a terrible result, and many performances were particularly bad, for example all four in the 2024 calendar year (1:4 in Kaiserslautern, 0:1 in Kiel, 0:3 in Magdeburg, 2:5 in Berlin). Nevertheless, around 15,000 fans accompany their team to the game Hannover 96 (1.30 p.m./Sky).

Geraerts gives his top talent a chance in the starting line-up: Assan Ouédraogo celebrates his starting eleven comeback after a long injury break and replaces Yusuf Kabadayi in the team. Otherwise, Geraerts trusts the team that achieved a 0-0 draw against Karlsruher SC.
Hanover’s coach Stefan Leitl expects a very robust and physically strong Schalke team and warns about the individual quality of the team. “The Schalke squad was put together to get promoted to the Bundesliga,” warned Leitl. He did not prepare his team for a Schalke route. “Schalke played very man-oriented recently,” said Leitl. However, due to recent weak away performances, Geraerts’ approach could change. Leitl changes his starting eleven, which won 3-0 in Magdeburg, in one position: Sebastian Ernst replaces Jannik Dehm.
