Schalke 04 boss Roberto Di Matteo is confident that his team can snatch "at least a point" from their Champions League meeting against his former club Chelsea.

The 44-year-old returned to management with Schalke in October after spending almost two years out of work following his dismissal as Chelsea manager.

Tomorrow, Di Matteo will face his former club for the first time and is banking on his side's positive home form, which has resulted in four wins out of four since the coach took over.

"We have the Champions League game on Tuesday where everything is open, but we want at least a point," Reuters quotes Di Matteo as saying.

Schalke are second on five points in Group G, with Chelsea leading the way on eight.
