Schalke 04 Hoffenheim betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge will be Schalke winning. Despite the fact that the home club are going through an irregular moment in their field, in this game they are able to return to victories, since they receive an “enemy” which lost two of the last three away games. Thus, it is expected that the team led by David Wagner will put their favoritism in the field and end up winning the three points.

After 9 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses, the home team is in the 6th position, havinf won 36 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Köln by (3‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (0‑5) at home, against RB Leipzig.

In their last match, for the DFB Pokal, they got a home loss against Bayern München by (0‑1).

Schalke come to this round unmotivated after a 0-1 home defeat to Bayern Munich, counting for DFB Pokal. Like the “enemy” of this game, the home team should play in a 4-3-3 tactical system, in order to take advantage of the quick transitions. Thus, it is expected that Schalke will adopt a more offensive stance, in order to try to score the first goal of the match. The home team's two biggest shortcomings are the completion of goal opportunities and the fact that they sometimes fail to avoid the offside trap. Coach David Wagner will be without Kabak, Omar Mascarell, Serdar, Caligiuri, Sané, Juan Miranda and Stamboui, for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Markus Schubert, Jonjoe Kenny, Timo Becker, Matija Nastasić, Jean-Clair Todibo, Bastian Oczipka, Alessandro Schöpf, Weston McKennie, Guido Burgstaller, Rabbi Matondo, Benito Raman.
Coach: K. Geraerts.
