Wolfsburg Schalke 04 betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This duel puts in the field two teams that have been having very different performances so far in the German Championship. While Wolfsburg is among the last four, Schalke 04 remains in the vice-lead. The home team excels in the free kicks, while its defense fails in the coverage of the sides and interception of long balls, giving plenty of space to the opponents. Schalke 04 has been very precise at the time of finalizing, while its defense stands out in the defensive set pieces and tackles, but it fails in the coverage of the sides, having also made some individual errors. However, because of the moment that the teams live, and because the away team has a good offensive power, it is a good option to bet on the victory of Schalke 04.

Analysis Wolfsburg

After 4 wins, 13 draws and 9 losses, the home team is in the 15th position, havinf won 25 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Hoffenheim by (3‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (1‑2) at home, against Bayer Leverkusen. In the last 10 home league matches Wolfsburg has a record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches, the most frequent final score was the 1‑1 (6 out of 13 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 13 of the last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 12 of their 26 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Wolfsburg continues to perform poorly in this season's Bundesliga, as it has not won for six matches and now has two straight defeats. The last of them took place away from home with Hoffenheim, in a game where it finished only six times and failed in defensive terms, being then defeated by the opponent. Again, despite the three goals conceded, it was clear that it is the offensive sector that has been the team's biggest problem since it failed to score goals on six occasions and is currently among the six weakest in the competition, besides being the second that ends the least. Playing in its domains, the team owns the third worst campaign, and in this condition has the second most leaked defense. The 4-2-3-1 has been the standard scheme adopted by coach Labbadia, who should not have great absences in this duel.

Confirmed Lineup: Koen Casteels, Paul Verhaegh, William, Jeffrey Bruma, Robin Knoche, Riechedly Bazoer, Daniel Didavi, Josuha Guilavogui, Maximilian Arnold, Josip Brekalo, Landry Dimata.
Coach: O. Glasner.

Analysis Schalke 04

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 46 points won, after 13 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Hertha BSC, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Mainz 05, by (0‑1). In the last 10 away league matches Schalke 04 has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 18 points out of 30 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 26 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 13 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Schalke 04 is going through one of its best moments in this season's Bundesliga, having only registered one defeat in the last five matches and now has four consecutive victories, with only one goal conceded. The last of them took place away from home Mainz in a game where it showed a lot of consistency in the midfield and defense, and although it had failed in the attack, the team still managed to leave the field with three points. The fact that it has not conceded a goal in this match confirms what the team has been showing throughout the competition, since its defense is among the four less leaked. Away from home, the team owns the fourth best campaign, having won 21 of the 39 points played in that condition. Coach Tedesco has been changing the team's tactical formation frequently but should keep Caligiuri on the left side.

Confirmed Lineup: Ralf Fährmann, Bastian Oczipka, Naldo, Benjamin Stambouli, Matija Nastasić, Daniel Caligiuri, Leon Goretzka, Max Meyer, Amine Harit, Nabil Bentaleb, Guido Burgstaller.
Coach: K. Geraerts.
