Hannover 96 vs. Schalke 04: Top duel on Friday in front of the audience!
On Friday, October 16, 2025, the ball will roll in the 2nd Bundesliga and fans can look forward to exciting encounters. There are two games coming up: Hannover 96 hosts FC Schalke 04 and Fortuna Düsseldorf plays against Eintracht Braunschweig. Both duels start at 6:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on Sky pay TV. If you would rather follow the action live, you can do so via Sky Go and WOW-TV.
This is an important game for FC Schalke 04, who are currently in second place in the table with 18 points. The Royal Blues have six wins, two draws and two defeats to their name so far, and their last appearance ended with a 2-1 win against Arminia Bielefeld. However, a serious opponent awaits on Friday against Hannover, as Hannover 96 also shows a strong performance and is in fifth place with 17 points. With a record of five wins, two draws and one defeat against Hertha BSC Berlin, they are well prepared to show Schalke fans their limits. Historically, when these two teams meet in the 2nd Bundesliga, promotions often occur - an absolute novelty!
The first games of the weekend
But the excitement doesn't end on Friday evening. The next round takes place on Saturday from 1:00 p.m. KSC will play against FC Kaiserslautern, Dynamo Dresden against Münster and SC Paderborn against Arminia Bielefeld. The crowning conclusion of Saturday is the exciting clash between VfL Bochum and Hertha BSC Berlin at 8:30 p.m. Here too, fans can expect thrilling football action.
On Sunday we continue with three matches that kick off at 1:30 p.m.: The bottom-placed FC Magdeburg challenges SV Darmstadt, while the current league leaders SV Elversberg face Greuther Fürth and FC Nürnberg Holstein Kiel. The game between Elversberg and Fürth in particular has a tradition - Elversberg has never lost against Fürth and even kept a clean sheet last season (first leg 2-0, second leg 0-0).
Transfers and changes between teams
A look at the past changes between Hannover 96 and Schalke 04 reveals a close connection. Both clubs have benefited from mutual transfer deals for many years. Jean-Paul Ndiaye, a center forward from Hannover 96 U17, moved to Hannover for free from Schalke 04 U19 just last year. Grace Bokake and Cedric Teuchert have also switched sides in recent years, underlining the lively rivalry between these two clubs. We could also hear about further transfers in the coming seasons, as both teams are keenly interested in developing young talent and have shown that they have a good knack for promising players.
In the intense atmosphere of the 2nd Bundesliga, tonight will certainly be an experience not to be missed. It remains to be seen whether Hannover 96 can put a damper on Schalke fans and how the other games of the weekend will develop. Fans are warmly invited to get carried away by the exciting action.
