HER Vs SCH Dream11, Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Schalke face a tricky opposition as gameweek 20 gets underway in Bundesliga
With a mere 2 wins in their last five encounter, Schalke have squandered what was a pristine opportunity for them to seal their place in the top 4 of Bundesliga 2019-20. At a time when the side needed to imbed in place a fruitful set of results, they have faltered to go down on a downward spiral, one which has seen them slip places to move down into 6th place.
And out of all their bygone languid displays, the dreariest came in their most recent outing. The side were wiped the floor with by Bayern Munich who routed them 5-0, a calamitous result for Schalke whose goal difference took a massive battering in the trouncing.
And although they take on 13th placed Hertha Berlin today, Schalke will be well aware that a win won’t be easy to come by. They have managed to take away just the solitary point from their last three matches away from home and with Hertha Berlin having defeated Wolfsburg 2-1 the last time around, they’ll be buoyed for this outing.
Probable Winner
This will be a closely contested encounter, one we envision being deterring by the finest of margins. What will see Schalke just bout squirm their way to the three points is the paper thing defence Hertha Berlin have, one which be left picking up the pieces at the end of the 90 minutes.

HER Vs SCH Dream11 Goal-Keeper
With either side looking unlikely to emerge with a cleansheet come today’s outing, we have decided to move in with the more astute goal-keeper. Our perusal lead us towards the pick of Hertha Berlin’s Rune Jarstein, a player more than adept at parrying away the onslaught he’ll be coming across.
HER Vs SCH Dream11 Defenders
While the narrative of a cleansheet for either side looks extremely bleak given the beleaguered form they have been in defensively off late, Schalke still hold the slightest of chances of pulling off a cleansheet today. Prior to being hit for 5 by Bayern Munich the last time around, the side had a relatively respectable defensive record, one which sees us move in with a duo from the unit.
Both Jonjoe Kenny and Bastian Oczipka will be picked up by us given their acumen while from the opposition we are divulging in Lukas Klunter for the contest.
