Hertha BSC Schalke 04 betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of goals from both sides. Hertha Berlin has a fragile defense that scores regularly, but its attack has worked well because they tend to play offense and create good chances, but they leave plenty of space behind for Schalke 04 to take advantage. In addition, 4 of Hertha's last 5 Bundesliga matches had goals from both sides, while three of Schalke's last away matches have also happened the same, being that in overall Bundesliga, both sides scored in the last 7 Schalke games. Given these factors, we believe in an open game, with chances for both sides and the two teams should score goals.

Preview
Hertha BSC and Schalke 04 meet at Olympiastadion Berlin, in a match for the 19th round of the Bundesliga. Hertha BSC got an away win by (0‑2), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 02‑09‑2018. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 4 head‑to‑heads they won 2, tied 1 and lost 1. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Bundesliga, on 14‑10‑2017, Schalke 04 won by (0‑2). L. Goretzka (54' ) and G. Burgstaller (78' ) scored the goals of the match for Schalke 04. Schalke 04 registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Hertha BSC

The home team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 27 points won, after 7 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Bayer Leverkusen, by (3‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Nürnberg, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. In the last 8 home league matches Hertha BSC has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 15 points out of 24 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 18 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Hertha Berlin finished a series of 3 rounds without winning for the Bundesliga and is now looking for another positive result to try to return to the UEFA Europa League qualifying zone. The team still needs to improve both offensively and defensively, having scored 29 goals, being only the seventh best attack of the competition, and suffered 28 goals, with the eighth most leaked defense, having conceded at least 2 goals in 3 of the last 4 Bundesliga matches. 
Playing at home, such as this Friday's match, Hertha Berlin has been struggling, won only 1 of the last 5 games, tended to take a more offensive posture, but ended up leaving plenty of space behind, having conceded 3 goals in 2 of the last 4 matches. 
For the clash against Schalke 04, coach Dárdai should keep the same lineup as the last match where he beat Nuremberg away from home with a great performance.

Analysis Schalke 04

The away team is currently in the 12th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 6 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Stuttgart, by (1‑3). In the last match, they won in a home match against Wolfsburg, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Schalke 04 has a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 27 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 5 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Schalke 04 is campaigning well below the expected level in the German Championship, but comes in a good sequence of 2 consecutive wins and wants to maintain the good phase to distance from the relegation zone and reach the top half of the standings. The team's main problem  is the low efficiency of its attack that has scored only 22 goals and is the sixth worst of the competition, although it is worth mentioning that it has improved in this aspect and scored in the last 7 Bundesliga matches. 
Playing away from home, such as this Friday's clash, Schalke 04 comes from 3 unbeaten games and these 3 matches had goals from both sides, being a team that likes to act more in the counterattack in this type of situation and usually to get along when there are spaces to leave at speed. 
For the game against Hertha Berlin, coach Tedesco will not be able to rely on midfielder McKennie due to suspension.
