Miron Muslic: Every game in the 2. Bundesliga is a 50-50 contest

At a sold-out VELTINS-Arena this Saturday (21/2), FC Schalke 04 will be hoping to finally experience that unparalleled feeling of winning in front of a home crowd again as they face 1. FC Magdeburg at 20:30 CET, having only managed a draw in each of their two games in Gelsenkirchen this calendar year. While FCM currently sit down in sixteenth place in the league table, head coach Miron Muslic has warned of the threat posed by this weekend’s opponent. “Magdeburg have recorded the most shots of any side in the division at this point and averaged the highest possession as well, with obvious strength in the attacking department,” said the head coach when asked what kind of challenge his team are gearing up for on Saturday night.
