Sportfreunde Lotte desperately need points on Saturday, Mar 20 at 2:00 PM in the Regionalliga West. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Sportfreunde Lotte come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Schalke 04 II, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sportfreunde Lotte a slight edge, but Schalke 04 II are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
