Schalke won 3 last games and a fourth win is anticipated, not only because of ambitions and good form but also this will be the game with a full stadium. "We all love to play in a packed stadium," says the 54-year-old coach of Schalke. “The game against Hannover 96, the last away game in Dresden – you live for these moments.” The support in the home games, in particular, will give an additional boost in the final spurt of the season, said Buskens, because “our stadium can be the twelfth man. We live from the fact that the arena pushes us – especially in difficult moments.” Only one point separates Schalke from one of the promotion places. After three wins in a row, the Royal Blues have a lot of tailwind. Schalke's sports director Peter Knabel had warned of the opponent in a conversation with this editorial team. "The game against Heidenheim will be a real test for us," he says in an interview with this newspaper. “This game is the first step on the ladder of ascent, you mustn't stumble there. We have these opponents on our radar and have been doing so all season.”

In history, there has not been a duel in Gelsenkirchen between FC Schalke 04 and 1. FC Heidenheim. The two clubs met for the first time in the first leg on October 29, 2021, when the FCH team won 1-0 due to a late goal by Oliver Husing (89th). In the second meeting this season, FCH celebrates its arena premiere. On the home table, the Brenzstadt occupies second place. Head coach Frank Schmidt's team have picked up 31 points (nine wins, four draws, one defeat) from their 14 games in their own stadium. Only FC St. Pauli was more successful at home (32 points from 13 matches). On the other hand, the Heidenheim motor has often stuttered away from home in recent months. With 14 points from 14 games, FCH is in 15th place. Heidenheim failed to win in all away games in the 2022 year.

I predict Schalke to win this game 2-1 or 3-1, home factor with the poor away run for FCH means these odds look attractive to my perception of betting.

沙尔克在上一场比赛中赢了3场，第四场胜利也在意料之中，这不仅是因为他的雄心壮志和良好的状态，而且这将是一场满座的比赛。“我们都喜欢在拥挤的体育场里踢球，”这位54岁的沙尔克教练说。“对阵汉诺威96的比赛，最后一场在德累斯顿的客场比赛——你为这些时刻而活。”巴斯肯斯说，特别是主场比赛的支持，将在本赛季的最后冲刺中起到额外的推动作用，因为“我们的球场可以成为第12个人。”我们生活在这样一个事实中:舞台在推动着我们——尤其是在困难的时刻。”只有一点将沙尔克与一个推广地点分开。在三连胜之后，皇家蓝军有了很大的优势。沙尔克的体育主管彼得·克纳贝尔(Peter Knabel)曾在与本刊编辑团队的谈话中警告过对手。“与海登海姆的比赛对我们来说将是一次真正的考验，”他在接受本报采访时说。“这个游戏是攀登梯子的第一步，你不能在那里跌倒。我们的对手在我们的雷达上，而且整个赛季都在这样做。”

历史上，沙尔克04队和1队从未在盖尔森基兴进行过对决。FC Heidenheim。两支球队在2021年10月29日的首回合比赛中首次相遇。当时，由于奥利弗•休辛(第89位)在比赛最后时刻进球，以1比0获胜。在本季的第二次会议中，FCH庆祝了它的舞台首映。在主场，布伦兹施塔特酒店位居第二。主教练弗兰克·施密特的球队在主场的14场比赛中获得了31分(9胜，4平，1败)。只有圣保利队在主场比他更成功(13场比赛得32分)。另一方面，海登海姆的发动机在最近几个月经常断断续续地离开家。在14场比赛中拿下14分，FCH排在第15位。海登海姆在2022年的所有客场比赛中都没有获胜。

预测沙尔克将以2-1或3-1的比分赢得这场比赛，主场因素和可怜的客场进球荒意味着这些赔率在我看来很有吸引力。
