Head-to-head statistics FC Kharkiv - Schalke
FC Kharkiv Team Overview
Kharkiv came within touching distance of European football last season, but this summer has given their fans very little to cheer about. The one bright spot - a 6:2 win over last season's Champions League side Karabakh - and then nothing. Five matches without a win, and a worrying number of goals conceded: 2.6 per game on average. The attack isn't really the problem. It's the defence that's falling apart - giving up not just goals, but shots on target at an alarming rate.

Schalke Team Overview
Schalke are gradually finding their rhythm in pre-season. There's some cause for optimism - they've conceded more than two goals in just one of their last 14 matches. The attack isn't exactly free-flowing either, though. Two goals has often been enough to win, both during the season and in pre-season.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The trend points clearly to limited scoring from Schalke: the visitors have gone over two goals just once in their last eight matches across all competitions. Kharkiv, meanwhile, need to wake up and stop conceding in shootouts like the ones against Hradec Králové, Wolfsberg and Karabakh. The key factor here is Schalke's far-from-ideal fitness - this will only be their third match of the summer. The main prediction is Schalke total goals under 2.5.
