Anticipating the clash with Schalke 04, Dynamo expresses excitement

The Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion will be filled with 31,000 eager spectators on Sunday, as Dynamo Dresden takes on FC Schalke 04. The match, scheduled for 1:30 PM, promises to be an intense clash between two formidable teams.

Dynamo Dresden will be missing key players Jakob Zickler, Alexander Rossipal, and new signing Vincent Vermeij for the encounter. However, Christoph Daferner, who was out due to a hand injury, has returned to full training and will rejoin the squad.

In their Second Division history, Dynamo Dresden has yet to taste victory against FC Schalke 04. The team will remember the 2014 cup upset when they defeated Schalke 2:1, a significant victory that they will be hoping to replicate.

Head coach Thomas Stamm believes that if Dynamo Dresden builds on their performance against Mainz and plays with confidence, they can hold their own against Schalke. He also acknowledges that Schalke is a team with a lot of power.

FC Schalke 04, currently placed fifth in the league with six points, has started the season with wins against Hertha BSC and VfL Bochum, and a loss in Kaiserslautern. Bryan Lasme has been a dangerous player for Schalke in front of goal.

However, Moussa Sylla, one of the best scorers in the 2. Bundesliga for Schalke, will not play on Sunday due to being granted permission by the club to engage in transfer talks. No specific striker is mentioned as having missed the game against Dynamo Dresden due to injury in the provided sources.

Despite the challenges, Dynamo Dresden remains optimistic. Thomas Stamm believes that they have strengths, especially at home, and is looking forward to a competitive match. The match between Dynamo Dresden and FC Schalke 04 is sold out, indicating the high level of anticipation among fans.

As the clock ticks closer to Sunday's kick-off, both teams will be preparing for what promises to be an exciting encounter. The outcome of this match could significantly impact the league standings, making it a must-watch for football enthusiasts.
