FC Schalke 04 vs SV Elversberg: Head-to-Head Lead

Updated Sun 20 Sept

FC Schalke 04 host SV Elversberg in the Bundesliga on Sunday, 20 September 2026 at the 62,278-capacity VELTINS-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, with Schalke aiming to extend a clean head-to-head record against the newly promoted visitors.

Schalke hold two previous wins over Elversberg

The two clubs met twice during the 2025–26 season, with Schalke emerging victorious in each fixture. A 1-0 home victory on 8 November 2025 preceded a 2-1 away triumph at SV Elversberg on 12 April 2026.

Schalke sit 11th in the Bundesliga table with four points from their opening three matches. Following an opening 3-0 defeat at FC Augsburg on 30 August 2026, they held Bayern München to a 0-0 draw at VELTINS-Arena on 5 September 2026 and claimed a 3-1 away win over Union Berlin on 11 September 2026. For this match, Schalke will be without D. Ljubicic due to injury and T. Kalas because of fitness issues.

Elversberg enter with eight goals in three matches

SV Elversberg arrive in eighth place with six points and a positive goal difference after an eventful three-game stretch. They opened their Bundesliga campaign on 29 August 2026 by beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 at home, then collected a 4-3 away win at Borussia Mönchengladbach on 5 September 2026 before suffering a 2-1 home defeat against Bayern München on 13 September 2026.

Maurice Krattenmacher leads Elversberg with three goals in all competitions this season. However, the visitors have conceded seven league goals and surrender an average of 2.24 expected goals per game over their last three outings. Manager Vincent Wagner travels without injured duo L. Seifert and T. Zimmerschied, while F. Onyeka is doubtful with an injury concern.
