Schalke hosts Greuther Fürth in a 2. Bundesliga match. Both teams have shown inconsistent results at the start of the season, but they possess a distinct attacking focus. The hosts are fifth with four wins in six matches, but their defense looks vulnerable.
The visitors are tenth, but have an impressive scoring record—13 goals scored and 15 conceded. Their matches regularly turn into goal-scoring extravaganzas, as demonstrated by their recent 3-1 victory over Arminia and 3-0 defeat to Kaiserslautern.
Their head-to-head record confirms this high-scoring trend. In their last two matches, the teams have scored 13 goals, and we expect that to be the case again today.
