Friday 002 Bundesliga: Schalke 04 vs Hertha Berlin

Schalke 04:

Schalke 04 ranked 14th in the Bundesliga last season, with a large gap from returning to the Bundesliga, and his performance was sluggish at the end of the season. The first official game of the new coach Muslich after taking office is highly anticipated. The specific coaching ability and the team's running-in level need to be tested. The team's summer window has added powerful players such as Bayern's young midfielder Kratenmach and Bremen's loan maker Konazki, but the depth of the lineup remains to be tested.

The performance of the pre-season club friendly match was ups and downs, losing to Sevilla 2-4, exposed defensive loopholes, but a 0-3 win over the weak team also showed certain offensive potential.

Home games rely on high-post pressing and rapid conversions. The crossing tactics of crossing on the wing last season averaged 18 crosses and set pieces and were the main methods of breaking the deadlock.

The home ball control is dominant but the efficiency is insufficient. In recent friendly matches, the club has only scored 3 goals. The offensive end is overly dependent on the personal abilities of veteran Selke and captain Karaman, and the offense is single.

Herlin Berlin: As a relegated team from the Bundesliga last season, Herlin Berlin still has strength but has a large fluctuation in its state. The winning rate of coach Lieteer is less than 50%, and the team needs to rebuild their confidence to strive for upgraded places.

performed well in the friendly match, 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the friendly match, they showed certain abilities in both offense and defense against weak teams. The team focused on ball control and counterattacking away. Breakthroughs on the side are threatening, but the forward scoring points are scattered and the defense injury affects the defensive hardness.

Comprehensive prediction of the event results:

Schalke has the advantage of his home court fighting spirit, Karaman's comeback and Hertha Berlin's defense injury issues, but he needs to be vigilant about Hertha Berlin's counterattack efficiency and resilience after midfield reorganization. I hope Schalke can at least defend the bottom line at home.
