Preview
Schalke head into this after a 7-0 win over Blau-Weiss Lohne in their previous friendly clash on Saturday.
Latza and Polter led the way for the Bundesliga side with 2 goals apiece. Mollet, Terodde and Pieringer also found the net for Schalke to continue their positive start to the season.
The Bundesliga side search for a 3rd win in succession which will give them immense confidence after a nerve-wracking previous season.
On the other hand, SC Verl last played in May in the 3rd division of Bundesliga in their 1-1 draw at home to MSV Duisburg.

Berlinski and Stoppelkamp scored for either side to ensure a share of the spoils in that one.
SC Verl just about managed to survive relegation last season as they finished in 16th place of the league with 40 points; 3 points above safety.
This is their opportunity to get some valuable playing time and prepare mentally for the upcoming season.
Both teams last met in August 2020 where SC Verl won 5-4 in a friendly match.

Prediction: Schalke 4-0 SC Verl
Schalke is on the upswing in terms of momentum and should dispatch the third division without much trouble.
Verl hasn’t played any competitive football since May and could be rusty in their approach.
This is where the newly promoted Schalke should take advantage.
