Key considerations include Schalke’s better league form and recent head-to-head wins balanced against Dresden’s home advantage and motivation to avoid slipping down mid-table. Both teams lack clean sheets recently, suggesting openness and potential for goals. Physical condition and minor injuries could slightly limit Dresden’s lineup strength.
