Betting on Schalke 04
Schalke 04 had avoided relegation since the 1991-92 season, enjoying several successful seasons. However, the club’s financial and performance issues caused them to drop to the second division in the 2020-21 season, which was one of the worst moments in the club’s history. Despite quickly bouncing back, they now seem to be facing another potential relegation.
The club has changed its coach to Thomas Reis, but the results have not been promising. With only two wins in the league and currently experiencing a five-game winless streak, the situation is dire. The team has managed to pick up two consecutive draws against mid-table teams, Koln and Monchengladbach, both ending in scoreless ties. While any improvement is welcome, the club will need more than small steps to turn their fortunes around.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Raul Fahrmann; Cedric Brunner, Maya Yoshida, Moritz Jenz, Jere Uronen; Eder Balanta; Soichiro Kozuki, Alex Kral, Tom Krauss, Tim Skarke; Simon Terodde.
Betting on VfL Wolfsburg
Niko Kovac has found success with the Wolves and after a slow start to the season, they are now in contention for a European spot. The team has won five consecutive games, including commanding victories against Freiburg (6-0) and Hertha Berlin (5-0).
However, Wolfsburg has recently stumbled with losses against Werder Bremen (2-1) and the powerhouse Bayern Munich (2-4). These setbacks could potentially turn into a negative streak and in a tightly contested league, they risk dropping down the table.
The game against Bayern was particularly notable. Despite playing with an extra man for most of the second half after Joshua Kimmich’s red card, Wolfsburg was unable to close the gap and ultimately lost 1-4. This recent dip in form is a concern for the team.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Koen Casteels; Maxence Lacroix, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Micky van de Ven; Ridle Baku, Mattias Svanberg, Maximilian Arnold, Felix Nmecha, Paulo Otavio; Patrick Wimmer, Jonas Wind.
JefeBet Prediction
In the third matchday of the current season, both Schalke 04 and Wolfsburg played to a goalless draw. This time around, we predict that the slight improvement shown by Schalke 04 combined with Wolfsburg’s recent dip in form will result in another draw.
The Miners perform slightly better at home, with two wins and two ties in ten home games. With their current momentum, they will be better equipped to defend and score a goal, which has been a struggle for them as they have only managed to score one goal in their last five games.
Prediction: Schalke 04 1-1 Wolfsburg.
