Gelsenkirchen (dpa / lnw) - FC Schalke has the last chance for a happy ending in the fight to stay in the Bundesliga.

The basement duel with FSV Mainz 05 today (8.30 p.m. / DAZN) has the character of a final for the Revierclub with a gap of nine points to the non-relegation place 15.

The bottom group is hoping for a new boost from Dimtrios Grammozis, who was introduced this week as the fifth coach of this season.

"I feel a kind of initial spark from the change of coach," said the major successor before his explosive entry.

The Mainz team proved what a new coach can do.

Under the direction of Bo Svensson, the Rheinhessen won more points (11) in nine games than Schalke (9) in the entire season.
