Schalke 04 Köln betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This shouldn't be a balanced match, as it will be between teams that are having very different campaigns. Schalke is among the top 3 teams, and Koln is in last place, with only 2 points. The home team uses many crosses and have shown they are very effective when it comes to finishing, and recover well. Koln has many defensive issues, especially in defending against counter attacks and attacks through the wings. So as they are in a better form and playing at home, it is a good option to back Schalke.

Their defensive performance in the previous round was unusual for their current campaign, as they still have one of the 3 best defenses. They have been showing quality in their passing, but they aren't so great in creating, being the 5th team with the fewer finishes. Coach Tedesco has been changing their formation, but they should maintain Naldo as their defensive reference.

Confirmed Lineup: Ralf Fährmann, Bastian Oczipka, Matija Nastasić, Naldo, Benjamin Stambouli, Daniel Caligiuri, Weston McKennie, Max Meyer, Amine Harit, Yevhen Konoplyanka, Guido Burgstaller.
