Meanwhile, Elversberg recently slipped to a 1-2 defeat in their latest match, making this visit to Veltins-Arena a difficult test. The hosts under manager Miron Muslić are expected to deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation with Chikwubuike Adamu leading the line as the lone striker, linking up with Kenan Karaman and Robin Gosens in midfield. As for Vincent Wagner's visiting side, they are likely to set up in a 4-2-3-1 system with David Mokwa hunting for goals. Although the visitors score heavily, their away defense still concedes easily. First-half statistics clearly show that Elversberg concede an average of 1.4 goals away from home, and over the last 10 matches, Schalke 04 have generated better chances with 5.9 shots on target per game. The first thing to watch after kickoff is the battle for midfield control.
