Test match number two: On Friday evening, Bundesliga team Schalke 04 will play Hajduk Split. Here are the most important facts about the match.

The second friendly match in the winter preparation is on the agenda for FC Schalke 04: The Königsblauen take on Hajduk Split on Friday evening (6 pm). The most important questions about the match.

How long will the team be in Croatia?

Only for a short time. While the trip to the game at Rapid Wien (2:2) a week ago turned into a three-day mini training camp, this time the team will travel there on Friday morning and return early Saturday morning. A training session in Split is not scheduled, as the match already starts at 6 pm and the Schalke players leave for the stadium about two hours before. A flight takes around two hours.

How many Schalke fans will be travelling with them?

On their website, the Schalke fans wrote that around 200 supporters would be flying with them to Croatia. Most of them are travelling together with the team. In contrast to the Vienna trip, the Königsblauen have chartered a plane. They went to Austria and back on a Eurowings scheduled flight, economy class.

What’s the weather like in Split?

While Germany is freezing cold and temperatures drop to minus five degrees at night, all Schalkers travelling with us should pack T-shirts. The forecast for the match day in Split is 17 degrees. The kick-off, however, will be in the dark, just like in Germany. The sun sets in Croatia at 4.19 p.m.
