Schalke desperately needs Matthew Hoppe, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, or both to get among the goals if they're to avoid being relegated at Arminia Bielefeld on Tuesday. Read our reasons for Bielefeld vs Schalke prediction and betting tips.
Frank Kramer's steadying of the ship has helped lift Bielefeld a point clear of the relegation play-off spot going into the promoted club's final five fixtures of the regular season. Arminia has lost only two of seven matches since the 48-year-old was installed as head coach, and extended their unbeaten run to three with Saturday's goalless draw at Augsburg. A third win of the Kramer tenure could have huge ramifications for their top-flight survival bid, although 16th-placed Hertha Berlin will have three games in hand when they come out of a coronavirus-enforced team quarantine at the end of April. Depending on midweek results, Bielefeld could put up to seven points between themselves and the automatic drop zone. Personnel-wise, Andreas Voglsammer is on standby for a striker and captain Fabian Klos, who is carrying a knock. Midfielder Arne Maier is also a doubt after missing the Augsburg stalemate with an abdominal complaint. Arminia has the second-worst scoring record in the Bundesliga, having managed 22 goals in 29 outings. Schalke has the weakest attack with only 18 goals.
Bielefeld: Ortega (c) - Brunner, Pieper, Nilsson, Laursen - Okugawa, Kunze, Prietl - Doan - Schipplock, Voglsammer
Out: -
Doubtful: Cordova (not included), Klos (knock), Maier (stomach), Yabo (not included)
Coach: Frank Kramer
The Bielefeld teamsheet will be of little concern to Schalke. If the Royal Blues lose at the SchücoArena, they will be relegated for the first time since 1987/88. Even if the Ruhr district outfit were to win and trim the deficit on Hertha to 10 points, you can't help but feel it would only prolong the inevitable. Die Knappen has been bottom since mid-January, and have won only twice in the league all season, whilst scoring a league-low 18 goals and shipping a league-high 75. The recent 1-0 win over Augsburg gave Schalke a glimmer of hope, only for old habits to resurface in last weekend's 4-0 drubbing at Freiburg. Head coach Dimitrios Grammozis could hand starts to fit-again defender Salif Sane and academy graduate Kerim Calhanoglu, but American striker Hoppe will likely be among the substitutes once again. Hoppe is Schalke's top scorer this season with five goals, three of which came in the 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim on 9 January. The 20-year-old American was also on target against Eintracht Frankfurt and Cologne that month but hasn't scored in 11 appearances.
Schalke: Fährmann - Becker, Stambouli, Thiaw - Aydin, Mascarell, Kolasinac (c), Calhanoglu - Serdar - Huntelaar, Harit
Out: Bentaleb (groin), Boujellab (ankle), Mendyl (ankle), Nastasic (calf), Skrzybski (knee)
Doubtful: Ludewig (foot), Mercan (knee), Raman (back)
Coach: Dimitrios Grammozis

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
