Schalke vs Sevilla Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendlies 2025

This will be the third meeting between these teams.

Schalke 04 are all set to lock horns with Sevilla in a pre-season club friendly contest. Veltins Arena is all set to witness the interesting contest between the two clubs.

The Bundesliga 2 side Schalke 04 will be at home, and it will be one of the advantages for them. They will feel comfortable at home, but their 2024-25 campaign in the German football second division was underwhelming as they finished 14th in the league. They will now be keen on coming in with some different strategies here.

Sevilla have already been a part of a couple of pre-season friendly fixtures, but those matches did not end in their favour. They will be looking to step up here and put up a strong fight against their upcoming opponents. The LaLiga side will have a clear chance to come back to winning ways here.

Players to Watch

Moussa Sylla (Schalke 04)

In 27 (2. Bundesliga) games during the 2024-25 season, Moussa Sylla scored 16 goals for his side. He has been one of the most consistent players for his side, despite other squad members not performing up to their standards. Sylla is yet again going to play a crucial part in the attacking front of the German-based club.

Ruben Vargas (Sevilla)

The 26-year-old is coming in after scoring a crucial equaliser in their last friendly fixture against Sunderland. It was a good play by Ruben Vargas, as he was present at the right moment to put the ball in the net. Sevilla can rely on him yet again when they take on their German opponents next.
