In the opening round of the German 2. Bundesliga, Schalke will compete against Eintracht Braunschweig. The game is set for Saturday, August 3rd, in Gelsenkirchen, with a kickoff time of 20:30 Central European Time. Experts from Dailysports have provided predictions for this match
Schalke, once a successful contender in European competitions, has recently become a mid-table team in the 2. Bundesliga. This season, their aim is to achieve promotion, though it seems unlikely.
During the off-season, Schalke played eight friendly matches, securing victories against modest teams Meppen and Verl. Despite having a decent squad, the team has been inconsistent in their performance.
Eintracht Braunschweig finished just above the relegation zone last season, and their primary objective this season is to maintain their place in the second tier of German football.
In preparation for the new season, Braunschweig played ten friendly matches, losing only twice. However, since most of their opponents were lower-level teams, their impressive form may be deceptive.
