Betting on Schalke 04
Things are not looking promising for Schalke 04 and their hopes of remaining in the Bundesliga. The Miners remain at the bottom of the league table after going four games without a win.
Under the leadership of Thomas Reis, the team has only managed to accumulate 23 points so far, trailing six points behind Bochum, who currently sits in 15th place and holds the last spot for staying in the German top-flight.
Overall, this season has been a complete disaster for Schalke 04. Since the return of the international break, they have only managed to secure two wins, four losses, and six draws, four of which were scoreless and consecutive.
Furthermore, with only 21 goals scored, they are currently the only team in the league with less than 30 goals. At home, they are the worst team, having only secured 13 points out of a possible 42 and conceding the highest number of goals, with a total of 31.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Ralf Fährmann; Cédric Brunner, Moritz Jenz, Maya Yoshida, Henning Matriciani; Rodrigo Zalazar, Tom Krauss, Alex Kral, Tim Skarke, Marius Bulter; Michael Frey.
Betting on Hertha Berlin
Hertha Berlin is likely to be one of the three teams that will join Schalke 04 in Germany’s second division once the Bundesliga calendar ends. Although permanence is still possible, the club’s performance throughout the campaign makes us doubt in their possibilities, with seven games left to play they will be able to turn their delicate situation around.
Oliver Christensen’s team currently sits in 17th place in the league table with 22 points, just one point ahead of Schalke 04 and four points behind Bochum, who currently holds the last spot for staying in the top-flight. Hertha Berlin has gone five games without a win and has only managed to secure two victories in their last 12 games. Additionally, they are one of the most scored-against teams in the league, conceding a total of 50 goals. After 13 away games, they have only managed to secure one win, making them the worst team in the league in this condition.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Oliver Christensen; Filip Uremovic, Marc Oliver Kempf, Márton Dárdai; Jonjoe Kenny, Lucas Tousart, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Tolga-Cigerci, Marvin Plattenhardt; Dodi Lukebakio, Wilfried Kanga.
JefeBet Prediction
Even though we’ll be seeing the two worst teams in the league go head-to-head, this Friday’s match promises to deliver some goals. Both teams have some of the most scored-against defenses in the league, and while their attacks may not be anything to brag about, the need to secure a victory will likely make both teams adopt a more offensive stance.
Furthermore, the last four direct encounters between these two teams have ended with at least three goals on the scoreboard, and in three of those games, both teams managed to score at least once. That’s why at JefeBet, we believe that neither team will leave the pitch with a clean sheet.
Prediction: Both teams score (SCH 1 – HER 1).
