Schalke were beaten 1-0 at home by Freiburg on matchday four of the Bundesliga season and the Konigsblauen will be gunning for revenge when they lock horns with Freiburg again this weekend.

"When the players think back to that 1-0 defeat they should sense the obligation they have to make amends. We've gelled as a team and advanced in terms of our play since then," head coach Felix Magath said on the official Schalke 04 website.

"We've been very good away from home so far and we want to underline that fact in Freiburg. But that's no reason to underestimate them. Our victories have been the result of hard work, after all, not from playing all-out attacking football.

"And Freiburg haven't won any of their last six matches so they'll be determined to take something off us. But as we dropped three points in the reverse fixture, it's now up to us to get them back."
