Hoffenheim come into this fixture in poor form, winning just one of their last five competitive matches against four defeats. Their sole victory in that run was a 2-1 Bundesliga win over VfB Stuttgart, but they have since lost to Paderborn, OFI Crete in the Europa League, Borussia Dortmund, and FC Köln. Across those five games, Hoffenheim scored eight goals and conceded nine, a return that reflects a side struggling to find defensive stability.
Schalke 04 are in a more positive position heading into this game. They are unbeaten in three of their last five outings, drawing 0-0 with both Bayern Munich and Elversberg in the Bundesliga, and winning 1-3 away at Union Berlin. Two friendly wins over Oberhausen and Austria Lustenau round out a run that suggests growing confidence under Muslic, even if league results have been mixed.
