18:05. Check out Ben Johnson's preview of tonights game: http://https://www.vavel.com/en/international-football/germany-bundesliga/397530-schalke-04-v-maribor-hosts-confident-of-all-three-points.html
"We are well aware that they have a technical advantage, they are very quick and will be supported by numerous and very loud fans, which is of course a strength in itself. But we will try to combat that with our strengths and we are optimistic that we will prevail."
"We don't count on Schalke being tired after their derby, they are used to playing strong teams in the Bundesliga, so this really doesn't matter.
17:55. Ante Šimundža, Maribor coach: "We are well aware that a difficult game lies ahead of us. It will be a match with a high tempo, very quick and intense. We believe we are capable of playing such a game and doing so at the highest level over the full 90 minutes. Yes, I believe we can do it.
17:45. The VELTINS-Arena, before 2005 known as the Arena aufSchalke, replaced Schalke’s old Parkstadion. It was the first stadium in Germany that was completely privately financed without government subsidies and came at a cost of €191 million. The stadium is one of the most technically advanced in Europe with its combination of retractable roof, slide-out pitch, and movable South Stand.
17:35. The other games in the group are Sporting CP - Chelsea at the Estádio José Alvalade stadium.
"Given our results, you could say that the crisis is behind us after back-to-back wins but we are not where we want to be just yet. We have wasted the opening phase of the season. We cannot allow ourselves too many slips now. But the wins and performances have given the team a timely boost."
"We are favourites, no doubt about that. But we also know things don't happen by themselves. A team that beats Celtic and holds Sporting at home has quality. Maribor defend very deep. They deny opponents space, they are very compact. They are especially good at set pieces. There will not be a lot of space and it will be a tight game. I will not elaborate on how we plan on opening them up.
17:25. Jens Keller remained aware of Maribor's quality and looked at the task ahead "Every player wants to be there, it is a real event when that music plays. It will not be a problem to motivate the team for this, even after such a big derby at the weekend. We have to take the three points.
17:15. Tonight's referee is forty-three year old Carlos Velasco Carballo from Madrid, Spain. He has been FIFA Licensed since 2008. In his career he has issued five red cards and 211 yellow cards and eighteen penalties. He refereed the Copenhagen - Bayer Leverkusen match, the game finished 2-3 to Leverkusen and Carballo issued six yellow cards.
17:05. As for the travelling Slovenians, they can feel slightly confident coming into this game with Schalke. So far this season, Maribor have won seven, lost two and drew once.

They currently sit second in the Slovenian National League. Current form: Maribor: DWWDWL
16:55. Schalke's form has been a little shaky to kick off their Bundesliga campaign but in their last few fixtures they've found last seasons form. In their last three Bundesliga games, The Royal Blues have drew once and won twice beating fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund and beating Werder Bremen. Last time out in the competition Schalke drew 0-0 with favourites for the Group, Chelsea. Current Form: Schalke: WWDDLD
16:45. Maribor certainly have been the surprise package thus far in the Champions league after overcoming Celtic in the final qualifying round, Maribor started the group stages with a last-gasp draw at home to Sporting Lisbon to get their campaign off to a positive start and keep their unbeaten streak going. The Slovenians are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions.
16:35. Schalke 04 will go into their Champions League match withMaribor full of confidence after recording two straight wins in the Bundesliga, following a brief run of poor form with saw them slump to 16th in the German league. In their last game Schalke played Chelsea and drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge, two weeks ago, Jens Keller's side then won 3-0 at Werder Bremen before edging out Borussia Dortmund last weekend.Keller will be able to recall Julian Draxler to his starting lineup following suspension following a red card against Eintracht Frankfurt, but midfielder Sidney Sam is ruled out with a muscle injury.
