Full time: Schalke 2-2 Frankfurt

Schalke can continue to hope for Bundesliga survival after earning a late draw at home to Frankfurt. The Royal Blues enjoyed the perfect start when Simon Terodde headed them in front inside the first minute, but Frankfurt fought back with goals from Daichi Kamada and Tuta. The Eagles looked on course for the win but Sebastian Polter poked in from close range in the 85th minute to snatch a potentially vital point.

Five changes for Schalke

Thomas Reis makes five switches to the side that were beaten 6-0 at Bayern Munich last weekend. Tim Skarke replaces the suspended Marius Bülter, with Moritz Jenz starting in defence for the first time in four weeks - and partnering with Sepp van den Berg at the back for the first time.

More on that Frankfurt team

No change as Oliver Glasner sticks to the same starting XI that guided Eintracht to a 3-0 win over Mainz last weekend - their first win in 11 in the Bundesliga.

Schalke: personnel

Bülter's (pictured) suspension leaves Schalke without their top scorer, issued after collecting a fifth yellow of the season last week, meaning Thomas Reis has a decision to make in attack. He may well land on Tim Skarke to deputise. At the back, Moritz Jenz and Henning Matriciani are both back from injury and could make immediate returns to the starting XI.

Schalke: form

After collecting back-to-back victories for just the second time this season, Schalke were humbled by Bayern on Matchday 32. They have won each of their previous two home league games and lost just one of the last seven at the Veltins Arena (W3, D3, L1). They remain a point adrift of safety; victory here has the potential to move them clear of the bottom three, defeat could leave them second-bottom.

Frankfurt: personnel

There is even greater desire for Glasner (pictured) to end the season on a high, with two more Bundesliga outings - and the DFB Cup final - closing out his tenure before the coach departs in the summer. Philipp Max is nearing a return from injury but the trip to Schalke may come too soon. Otherwise, Glasner should remain unchanged, with Kolo Muani leading the line.

Frankfurt: form

The victory over Mainz last weekend ended Frankfurt's 10-game winless run (D5, L5) in the league, which saw them move from title-contenders to mid-table. Those three points collected on Matchday 32 leaves them within just three of the top six and still in contention of securing European qualification for next season - something they can also do by winning the DFB Cup in a fortnight.

Watch: Frankfurt 3-0 Mainz - highlights

Frankfurt snapped a spell of 10 Bundesliga matches without a win with a convincing 3-0 victory against Mainz last weekend.

No Bülter, no party?

Schalke's leading scorer Marius Bülter misses the tie suspended. He has single-handedly scored 35% of Schalke's goals this season (11 of 31).

Favourite opponents for Terodde

Schalke's Simon Terodde has scored more goals against Frankfurt than any other Bundesliga side - three.

Rare home strength

Schalke go into the tie with two successive home wins behind them. They haven't won three on the bounce at home for five years.

Conistent Kolo Muani

Frankfurt's French striker Randal Kolo Muani has nine goals in 2023, which is the joint most in the Bundesliga.

Good Glasner record

Departing Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner has never lost in six meetings against Schalke.

Awful away form

Frankfurt have failed to win their past 10 Bundesliga away matches, and have just two away points in the second half of the season - only Hertha Berlin have fewer in that time.

Schalke and Frankfurt in need of points

It really could go either way for Schalke, who head into the penultimate round of 2022/23 fixtures in the relegation play-off spot, a point clear of the bottom two and one adrift of outright safety. They cannot be relegated this weekend, but there is the possibility to at least rule out automatic relegation going into the final weekend. The problem is: eighth-placed Frankfurt are among the handful of teams vying for European qualification.
