Schalke 04 Hannover 96 betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash should not be one of the most balanced of this round of the German Championship, as it faces two teams that have been campaigning somewhat differently. While Schalke 04 is still in contention for the vice-lead, Hannover appears in the second half of the qualifying table. The home team bets a lot on set pieces, and shows efficiency in finishing, but its defense fails in the aerial game and in the interception of deep balls. Hannover bets heavily on counterattacks and set pieces, while its defense is very fragile, especially in the interception of long balls and kicks from outside the area. Thus, by playing at home against a weak team in defensive terms, it is a good option to bet on the victory of Schalke 04.

Preview
Schalke 04 and Hannover 96 face at Veltins‑Arena, in a match for the 19th round of the Bundesliga. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 27‑08‑2017, Hannover 96 got a home win by (1‑0). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 04‑12‑2015, in a match for the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 won by (3‑1). The goals of the match were scored by J. Geis (51' ), K. Huntelaar (73' ) and F. Di Santo (82' ), for Schalke 04, and by A. Saint‑Maximin (81' ), for Hannover 96. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Hannover 96 presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Schalke 04

After 8 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses, the home team is in the 3rd position, havinf won 30 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against RB Leipzig by (3‑1), after in the previous match they have tied (2‑2) an away match against Eintracht Frankfurt. 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, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. In the last 9 home league matches Schalke 04 has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 18 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 6 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (7 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 9 of the last 9 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 18 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Schalke 04 is still in a good position in the Bundesliga because of the good results it has accumulated in the opening rounds, but now it is not in a great moment, with only one victory in the last six matches, coming from a defeat that ended an invincibility of eleven games. At the time, the team played a balanced game against RB Leipzig, but was very inefficient in the offensive sector, and made some crucial mistakes in the defense, being thus surpassed by the opponent away from home. However, the undesirable performance of the attack in this confrontation contrasts with what the team has been presenting throughout the championship, where it has the fifth best offensive sector. One of the strengths of the team has been the precision in the exchange of passes, which ends up hampering the work of the opponent. The 3-4-1-2 should be the tactical formation that coach Tedesco will use in this duel, which probably will not be able to count on Goretzka, who is recovering from an injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Ralf Fährmann, Bastian Oczipka, Naldo, Thilo Kehrer, Matija Nastasić, Alessandro Schöpf, Leon Goretzka, Max Meyer, Amine Harit, Guido Burgstaller, Marko Pjaca.

Analysis Hannover

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 7 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Bayer Leverkusen, by (4‑4). In the last match, they won in a home match against Mainz 05, by (3‑2). 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 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Hannover 96 has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 losses in the last away matches. 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 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Hannover returns to play away from home in the Bundesliga after two consecutive home appearances, with the chance to reach the third straight game without losing in the competition and thus continuing the recovery period. In the last round, the team managed to create a good volume of finals and showed efficiency, thus defeating Mainz. However, as it was possible to notice in this confrontation, the defensive system is still showing some inconsistency, so much so that it is among the five most leaked of the competition. Another weakness of the team is in the exchange of passes, which has the fourth highest error rate. It is likely that the coach will organize the team in 3-4-3, with highlight for Bebou in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: Philipp Tschauner, Julian Korb, Matthias Ostrzolek, Waldemar Anton, Salif Sané, Oliver Sorg, Pirmin Schwegler, Iver Fossum, Felix Klaus, Niclas Füllkrug, Ihlas Bebou.
