Schalke 04 - Bayer Leverkusen betting tips and odds

While Schalke 04 winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Bayer Leverkusen, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Though Team from Leverkusen are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 1.95 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

Schalke 04 showed some character in their previous Bundesliga outing. It was a tough trip to take but they held well. Matter of fact, Schalke kept it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes for a Augsburg draw.

Team from Leverkusen are coming on the back of a surprise home win in the second half of their last match against Bayern München. Bayer Leverkusen were the hosts, but the matchup clearly didn’t favour them, and they were behind at the half-time mark. Despite such circumstances, they triumphed 2:1.

Team from Leverkusen and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 Bundesliga matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

Schalke 04 will need another 0 points to get out of the relegation zone – and this round is not a particularly good opportunity to win them. They are quickly running out of time, though, and will need to move quickly if they wish to stay in the Bundesliga.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Bayer Leverkusen walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 1.95 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

With Marcin Kamiński, Dominick Drexler, Justin Heekeren, Sebastian Polter, Sepp van den Berg, Soichiro Kozuki, Jere Uronen, Tim Skarke out of the picture for the hosts and Andrey Lunev, Charles Aránguiz, Patrik Schick, Karim Bellarabi, Nadiem Amiri for the visitors, both teams will be in a weakened state. Leverkusen still have the upper hand going in, but it’s something to keep in mind.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.88 odds offered at Betsson.
