Schalke 04 vs SV 07 Elversberg

Two newly promoted sides meet at the VELTINS-Arena with very different stories so far. Schalke sit 14th after two rounds, still searching for their first win back in the top flight, while Elversberg have stormed to 4th, showing their Bundesliga return is no fluke. Schalke drew 0-0 with Bayern Munich before being thumped 0-3 by Augsburg, leaving questions about their attack under boss Miron Muslić. Elversberg, by contrast, arrive unbeaten in six, having stunned Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 and Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-3, with striker David Mokwa scoring in both games. Historically Schalke hold the edge, winning three of six meetings including a 2-1 away victory back in April. Given Elversberg's attacking form against a shaky Schalke defence, expect goals at both ends. Our prediction: 1-2
