IT’S a big day for Ryan Babel who will make his Hoffenheim debut at Schalke after his move from Liverpool. However, he’s joining a team who haven’t started 2011 well and were knocked out of the German Cup in midweek. I reckon the Dutchman will be a debut loser so back Schalke at 4-5 with Ladbrokes.
