Preview:
Schalke will welcome Hertha Berlin at the Veltins-Arena in the Bundesliga on Wednesday. While Schalke's relegation from Germany's top tier has already been confirmed after they have managed just 13 points from 31 matches and are at the bottom of the table, Hertha Berlin have a bigger motive to play for as they are battling against relegation. A win here will be a huge boost to their cause as it will take them three points clear of the other candidates. As of now, Berlin have 31 points from 31 matches and are placed 14th.

Analysis:
Given how Schalke have performed so far in the league this season, it is unlikely that they will find a way to win to get a win against Hertha Berlin. Neither have Schalke's defense been upto the mark nor their attacking play which has been the reason behind their poor run in this campaign. Thus, there is little doubt that Hertha Berlin will be the clear favourites to win the match and add three crucial points to their tally.

Schalke: Ralf Fahrmann, Timo Becker, Shkodran Mustafi, Malick Thiaw, Alessandro Schopf, Can Bozdogan, Sead Kolasinac, Kerim Calhanoglu, Amine Harit, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Benito Raman
