Betting on F.C. Schalke 04
Schalke 04 couldn’t capitalize on their impressive 5-2 victory over Hertha Berlin two matchdays ago, as they suffered a crushing 4-0 defeat against Freiburg in their last outing, marking their third loss in the last four games.
This downturn has halted Schalke’s spectacular rise, and they will start this matchday in 17th place, just three points away from safety. In those three defeats, Thomas Reis’ side failed to score, explaining why they are the worst offensive team in the Bundesliga with only 26 goals scored.
Although Schalke has also struggled at home this season, playing at the Veltins Arena could give them the confidence they need to face this match, considering that they have earned 16 of their 24 total points at this venue.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Alexander Schwolow; Jere Uronen, Moritz Jenz, Marcin Kamiński, Henning Matriciani; Danny Latza, Alex Král; Kenan Karaman, Dominick Drexler, Marius Bülter; Simon Terodde.
Betting on Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen’s situation heading into this new matchday is very different from that of their opponents, with a 2-4 away win against Hertha Berlin. This crucial victory gave Schalke a ten gap point over a relegation zone that is already beginning to look distant.
While that win ended their six-game winless streak, it is not all joy for Die Werderaner, who have now conceded at least two goals in their seven most recent league games and nine of their last ten.
However, this match shouldn’t make Werder Bremen nervous, not only because they are facing the worst offensive team in the league but also because they are the only team in the Bundesliga who has earned more points away (19) than at home (16) this season. Moreover, they have won their last six official visits to Schalke.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Jiří Pavlenka; Milos Veljkovic, Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl; Mitchell Weiser, Leonardo Bittencourt, Christian Grob, Jens Stage, Anthony Jung; Maximilian Philipp, Marvin Ducksch
JefeBet Prediction
Offensively, Schalke has been quite poor this season, but at least they have shown some improvement in recent home games, scoring two goals in three of their last four matches at the Veltins Arena. Therefore, the visit of a weak Werder defense could help them maintain that momentum.
However, Schalke’s defense is also weak, with the same number of goals conceded as Werder (56), a team that they have struggled against, winning only one of their last 12 meetings.
The two previous encounters between these two teams featured more than 2.5 total goals, and the last five saw both teams scoring. Therefore, considering how poor they are defensively, we expect a very entertaining match with plenty of goals.
Prediction: Werder Bremen Moneyline and Over (SCH 2-3 BRE).
