The friendly between Austria Lustenau and Schalke 04 has nothing at stake in terms of points, but both sides came off their most recent friendlies scoring freely at both ends. The hosts won 3-1, while the visitors won 5-2, so this game is more likely to be an open exchange than a cautious standoff. Austria Lustenau return home after winning two in a row, with their latest league match a 2-0 clean sheet, but overall this season they have conceded more than they have scored, so lately they have focused on tightening up at the back. Meanwhile, Schalke 04 are unbeaten in 4 in a row, but have drawn two of those goalless in the league and have not scored much when facing opponents who defend in an organised block. This game is likely to see Schalke 04 as the side that has to open up and attack, because their reputation and quality in midfield are superior. Austria Lustenau will likely sit deeper, wait for counter-attacking moments and use their home advantage to control the tempo and keep the game from breaking apart. If the hosts can hold out through the early stages, the game will flow even more in the direction they want.
