The runner-up of last term in Bundesliga is 27 points after 22 sessions of this season. Rather than looking at European places, Schalke is in a fight to avoid the drop, found itself in only two places from the drop zone in the 14th.
Schalke has already lost 11 league matches in the first season of 2018-19, compared to seven, and he is without a win in the last month. Competition can be seen as a welcome distraction in the knockout round of the Champions League, however, any significant heavy loss to Man City will further reduce the confidence of the Royal Blues.
Domenico Tedesco's side should not be written yet, however, he is unbeaten in his last nine European domestic games, out of which six won They lasted long lasting without losing a home between July 2003 and November 2004 (11 games).
Schalke is looking to win three consecutive domestic Champions League games for the first time since April 2011, when they reach the semifinals of the competition, defeating Galatasaray and Lokomotiv Moscow in their last two matches in the Veltins-Arena.

No Schalke player scored more than one goal or provided more than one assistance in the group stage, although only Borussia Dortmund (5) had more clean sheets than Royal Blues (4). In Man City, however, the rescue of the German club is still the toughest test.

Regardless of the best efforts of talking about the quadruple of the manager, there is no doubt that the city has been deployed to achieve something that any other English club has managed to win all four competitions in the modern day. not done. .
During the final match of the EFL Cup with Chelsea next week, the English champion got the chance to tie one of those trophies, but Guardiola is not the type of person who takes his eye off the ball for a second. The biggest priority of Schalke's Wednesday tour is now, in which the city has been given a big step to take a big step towards reaching the last eight.
Guardiola won the trophy twice as a manager in Barcelona, but during the two full sessions at the Etihad Stadium, he was considerably reduced. After having crashed Monaco at this level in 2017, the city improved almost quarters, where it was excluded by domestic rivals Liverpool.
The city finished five out of eight Champions League knockout games, defeating only Dynamo Kiev and Basel. He was placed on a draw from Lyon 2-2 in his most recent match in the competition, and at the Etihad Stadium, the opponent reversed 2-1 on the day of the match.
At the top of the Group F, with 13 points from 15th position, returning 13 points in their opening match, and Guardiola is now hoping that their players can learn from the last. Two semesters for semi-finals and beyond.
Team news
Guardiola made seven changes between victory over Chelsea and Newport, including the seventh season of the season for Phil Foden, who was the Star Man of the City at Rodney Parade.Foden is unlikely to do enough to displace Kevin De Bruyne, Fernandinho and David Silva from the central midfield, however there is no suggestion that Guardiola is going to bring a weak side to the ground before the EFL Cup final.
Bernardo Silva has performed well in an advanced position on the right side of the City's front three and is expected to resume on Wednesday, which means that Leroy Sane can be nominated as a sub against his former club.
No player has given much support compared to Riyad Mahrez in the group stage, but Raheem Sterling is liked on the other flank, and Sergio Aguero should point to the Gabriel Jesus through the middle.
Elsewhere, Vincent Kompany and Benjamin Mendy remain suspicious, so it is between a place between left-back and Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabian Delph.
In the context of the domestic side, one month after joining Man City, Rabbi Matondo was presented with Freiburg on his first launch in the goalless draw at the weekend.
Young Wales International will have a point to prove against their former club, but it may have to settle for a place on the bench because Yevon Conoplinka is in a dispute to return to attack midfield.
Meanwhile, Omar Mascarell has been suspended, and Benjamin Stambouli and Sebastian Rudy Rutting Leg are booking away from the disappearance.
Rumoured City target Rudy must start in defensive midfield, sitting in front of another former citizen player in Matija Nastasić, who is now in his fourth full session in the Veltins-Arena.
