The famous German club Schalke 04 returns to the top German league. The team around sharpshooter Simon Terodde secured promotion in the penultimate round and is close to winning the league.
The team from Gelsenkirchen surprised many football fans in the 2020/21 season when they finished 18th in the Bundesliga and were relegated to the second league.
However, they are back after one year. Yet the results were not convincing, with German manager Mike Buskens’ team winning only 19 of their 33 matches and notching up five draws and nine defeats.
However, in the second highest competition, even such results can be enough to win the league and be promoted to the elite thanks to great balance. Schalke have already secured their confidence with a home win over St. Pauli.
The Blue and Whites were 0:2 down in the match, but then managed to turn it around and were able to celebrate. Spartan Andreas Vindheim, who is a guest of Schalke, also spent almost an hour on the pitch.
However, the German team has a transfer option and it is questionable whether it was not obligatory in case of promotion to the Bundesliga. However, given how often the Norwegian is starting, he is expected to stay at the club.
Schalke Nürnberg will be his last opponent this season. The latter lost promotion with poor results at the end of the league.
How are things looking at the top? Second-placed Hamburg and third-placed Darmstadt have 57 points and can no longer catch first-placed Schalke with 62 points. Only Bremen can threaten the top spot, they also have 57 points, but they still have a double-header with Aue and Regensburg.
