Dynamo Dresden is a guest at the leaders and goes into the game against Schalke with a big chest. After seven points from three games, Thomas Stamm’s team is counting on something against the recently weakened Knappen.
It is one of the absolute highlight games of the season for SG Dynamo Dresden. The Saxons will be visiting leaders FC Schalke 04 on Saturday (1 p.m. in the audio stream & SpiO live ticker). Coach Thomas Stamm has to do without the suspended Robert Wagner. The recently injured Niklas Hauptmann, Vinko Sapina and Vincent Vermeij are available again.
Second floor: Dresden’s Vinko Sapina in an aerial duel with future Schalke goalscorer Kenan Karaman.
This means that Stamm has more options again and doesn’t want to have his cards looked at before the game. Just this much: “There will be tough decisions. We need all the boys, the ones who come in are also important.” Whether Vermeij together with the last successful Christoph Daferner will appear together or come later, you will be able to see the line-up sheet an hour before the game.

Respect, but not fear of Schalke’s power
The Dresden coach is not worried about the huge force of the 60,000 in the Arena at Schalke. You have a similar force in every home game with half as many fans. It’s clear that it will be difficult against a strong home team: “But few things are impossible. We haven’t lost a game this year. It has to be our absolute goal to keep it that way.” Of course, Schalke have a lot of quality and, with the recently signed Edin Dzeko, they also have a player “who has a good feel for passing and finishing with his back to the goal.” Stamm promises: “We will be well prepared.”
Schalke cheers in front of the guest block after the narrow first leg victory in Dresden.
The first leg narrowly went to Schalke
In the 0-1 defeat In the first leg, Schalke’s defense proved almost insurmountable. To make matters worse, S04’s golden goal only came from the penalty spot in the 84th minute. Kenan Karaman scored. But Schalke currently has a small dent: there have only been two points from the last four games. Head coach Miron Muslic praised the Black and Yellows, who have been in strong form recently: “We are dying for Dresden. This is a team that has made a big change. They are on an upward trend. But we have it in our hands to reverse this negative trend.”
Dynamo criticizes the banner in the fan curve
Meanwhile, a banner that was displayed in the home area last weekend caused dissatisfaction among Dynamo officials. Against the background of the violent riots in Magdeburg, the police were mocked.

As a reminder: Through massive Magdeburg fan violence More than 70 officers were injured. The club made it unmistakably clear: “Against this background, SG Dynamo Dresden expresses its complete lack of understanding of the incident at the home game against Arminia Bielefeld. Such statements in no way correspond to the club’s attitude and are not compatible with the mission statement.”
High risk game – 6,000 Dynamo fans expected
Up to 6,000 Dynamo fans are expected at the high-risk game in the Schalke Arena. The Gelsenkirchen police published a fan letter and made it clear: “Violence, on the other hand, is not part of football! That’s why the police will take decisive action against violent perpetrators at all times, regardless of which fan camp, and will consistently punish violations.” There will also be a strict ban on alcohol in the guest area.
