They won 2 and lost only 2. 6 draws were therefore also achieved. 23:22 is the goal balance. If you consider that they lost a total of 13 games and suffered 9 draws, you can be quite satisfied with Rösler’s performance. Finally, only 1 loss went to his cap.

He has never met Schalke or Wagner as a coach. He had two losses, namely his regular goalkeeper Zack Steffen and his center forward Dawid Kownacki, although the latter has not yet been able to draw attention to himself.

They still have the 8th place inside, with Hoffenheim on their heels with only 1 point less and Cologne with 3 points less. Therefore, they should try to win against Fortuna Düsseldorf.

David Wagner took over as head coach on 01.07.2019. So at the beginning of the current season. The only game against Dusseldorf so far ended with a draw. He has only two losses against Fortuna. Amine Harit is a dangerous midfielder and Jean-Clair Todibo is a central defender. Nevertheless, they should have a good chance of winning because they have only suffered 1 defeat since Fortuna Dusseldorf’s promotion, which was the case at home and won 2 games and 1 draw. It is also a fact that Schalke’s last away win was a long time ago. The last two have lost and the third last ends with a 0-0, as does the fourth last. As a result, Fortuna Düsseldorf’s home advantage could tip the scales.
