Schalke 04 vs. Darmstadt 98: DFB Cup duel promises excitement!
Tonight there is an exciting duel in the DFB Cup on the program: FC Schalke 04 welcomes SV Darmstadt 98. Like Ruhr24 reported, the game will kick off on October 29, 2025 at 8:45 p.m. It is an important opportunity for both teams to prove themselves in the cup competition and reach the next round.
The possible lineups of the teams have already been announced. The Lilies from Darmstadt could use the following formation: boots in goal, behind them a defense with Pfeiffer, Vukotic and Maglica. Klefisch and Akiyama are available in midfield, while Richter, Corredor and Marseiler support the offensive. Lidberg and Hornby should provide the goals up front.
On the other hand, FC Schalke 04 is likely to rely on Karius in goal. The defense is made up of Ayhan, Katic and Kurucay. In midfield we expect Gantenbein, Schallenberg, El-Faouzi and Porath, while Bachmann, Karaman and Sylla are responsible for the offensive accents.
Preparations and team spirit
The focus is particularly on coach Miron Muslic from Schalke 04, who is making positive headlines. As Ruhr24 further reports, the training session on October 28th started 30 minutes later due to rain and hail. However, Muslic was undeterred: he greeted the waiting fans and journalists with a smile, despite the unpleasant weather, and shot a few balls at the goal himself while he waited for the team to arrive. This was well received by fans, who enthusiastically reported on him on social media.
However, some players were missing from training. Vitalie Becker and the injured Christian Gomis were not there, which put a strain on the team's preparations. Nevertheless, the mood in the team shows that there is a positive attitude before the cup game.
A look at the referee
Yesterday's training day prepared the players for the official call by referee Felix Bickel from Wolfsburg. Spectators can look forward to what happens on the pitch because Bickel is considered a fair and experienced referee who will have the game under control.
Whether FC Schalke 04 can retain the upper hand in this duel remains to be seen tonight. Expectations are high and both players and fans are hoping for an exciting and successful evening in the DFB Cup.
