Magdeburg welcomes Schalke: who will decide the duel?
An exciting afternoon for football fans: 1. FC Magdeburg will welcome FC Schalke 04 to the Avnet Arena on September 20, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. Referee Felix Bickel will officiate the game, which is of great importance for both teams. Sports1 reports that Magdeburg was able to achieve two wins and one draw in the last three meetings with Schalke, which lifted the mood on the Magdeburger side.
However, 1. FC Magdeburg has had a difficult start to the season, as they were only able to win one of five games and suffered four defeats. On the other hand, the club's home record shows: During the last duels in such critical situations, they achieved three wins and three draws without ever losing. Their offense could be crucial as they average 3.3 goals per game against Schalke. However, the defense is under pressure as it has conceded the most goals in the league (22) since the beginning of the year.
Injured players and lineup
In today's match, 1. FC Magdeburg is missing a few key players due to injuries: Daniel Heber, Herbert Bockhorn, Mateusz Zukowski and Tarek Chahed are all unable to play. It's a similar story at Schalke, as Emil Højlund, Max Grueger, Peter Remmert, Tidiane Toure and Tomas Kalas are injured and will have to watch the game from the bench. PhotoMob stresses that given the personnel situation, both teams must use their best options to turn things around.
Moussa Sylla from Schalke has also stood out as a goal scorer and has the most shots on goal in the league (13). Baris Atik from Magdeburg, on the other hand, is still waiting for his first goal after creating 14 chances. It remains to be seen whether they can finally make a breakthrough in this game.
Current form and statistics
FC Schalke returned on the last matchday with a 1-0 win against Dynamo Dresden and is trying to carry on this momentum. Schalke's defense is particularly strong; they allow the fewest opponents' shots in the league (49), while Magdeburg has already recorded 82 shots allowed. Magdeburg's high ball possession is also notable, with an average of 453 passes per game, which speaks for a high degree of control of the game.
The game between 1. FC Magdeburg and Schalke 04 will not be broadcast on free TV, but can be seen live on Sky on TV and in the stream. For everyone who doesn't have a screen available SPORT1 a live ticker so that no exciting moments are missed.
