Bundesliga
Schalke 04 and Hertha have a long history of H2H matches. In the previous few years, Hertha are significantly better with five wins from the last eight games. Schalke 04 won in only two clashes in the span. What is even more notable is that the last nine H2H matches between Schalke 04 and Hertha were with three or more goals.
Schalke 04 team news
Schalke 04 had a mixed preseason with a 3-2-2 record. In the last test, they lost 4-2 against Sevilla. However, a few solid results before that give the team hope and confidence for the upcoming season.
Schalke 04 hopes to return to the Bundesliga, but they have again changed too many players this summer. The team left important players from the last season, such as Derry Murkin, Paul Seguin, Mehmet Aydin, Tobias Mohr, and Marcin Kaminski. Schalke 04 signed good replacements in Nikola Katic (who came from Zurich), Timo Becker (Holstein Kiel), and Hasan Kurucay (Leuven), but it seems that the team from Gelsenkirchen needs more reinforcements to be the favorite for promotion.

Hertha team news
Hertha played well this preseason. They won four of six friendly matches and showed a high level of football already in the early stage of the 2025/26 season. In the previous game, Hertha played 1-1 against Motherwell.
Hertha had two great talents in the previous season (Ibrahim Maza and Derry Scherhant), but they left the team for Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg. On the other hand, Hertha signed some very good players for 2. Bundesliga level like Dawid Kownacki (who came from Werder Bremen), Paul Seguin (Schalke 04), Leon Jansen (Karlsruher). Also, talented attacking midfielder Maurice Krattenmacher came on loan from Bayern Munich.

Prediction
Although most Schalke 04 and Hertha games recently were high-scoring, we doubt there will be more than three goals on Friday. There were three or fewer goals in three of the last four Schalke 04 games, while Hertha scored only three goals in the previous three matches. Our prediction: Under 3.5 goals
4 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than three goals in this match
- Schalke 04 allowed two goals in the last four matches
- There were three or fewer goals in three of the previous four Schalke 04 preseason games
- Hertha scored three goals in the last three matches
- There were three or fewer goals in each of the previous three Hertha preseason games
