Head-to-head statistics Hallescher - Schalke

Hallescher Team Overview
What can a modest side like this realistically do? Sit deep and look to counter-attack - and even that probably won't be enough. Hallescher will likely need a miracle, given the lack of quality throughout the squad. In terms of form, they have played a decent number of official matches, though most have ended in draws, and they kept clean sheets in two of their last five. There isn't much more to add, really. Their chances of making anything of this German Cup tie are slim.
Match Results: Hallescher

Schalke Team Overview
Schalke won't find themselves in the role of heavy favourite very often this season, so they might as well enjoy it while it lasts. They had an active pre-season and faced some strong opposition - Real Madrid (0-3) and Atalanta (0-3) among them. They've had plenty of game time, so rotation is possible in the cup with the first Bundesliga matchday coming up. The class advantage here is firmly with Schalke, and they don't need to run riot to get the win.
