Schalke, despite the poor performance in the domestic championship, was able to secure the access to the playoff in UEFA Champions League in 5th round already. It is likely that the performance in UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League is now the most important for the guests, so, playing at Augsburg's field, Schalke will play defensive football. As for the hosts, Augsburg shows poor results in this season and may occur in the relegation zone.
