Schalke 04 - Bayern München betting tips and odds

It would take a small miracle for the hosts to get to a stalemate this match, let alone win somehow. A quick look at the 18.00 price for a home win should be enough to tell you that, though.

It’s fairly simple, Schalke 04 will be lucky to avoid utter and complete humiliation in this match. At 1.18, Bayern München are seen as absolute favourites to get three points. What’s more, we are sure they will do it in style.

One goal was all it took to push Schalke 04 across the finishing line in their previous Bundesliga match. The hosts took an early lead last time out and refused to drop their guard for a narrow – but rather important - Mainz 05 victory.

Bayern Munich have shown to know how to seize an opportunity and keep it going. Just last round they secured a solid 6:1 in a home game against Werder Bremen. Being hard favourites with odds of 1.16 on a home win, they easily took the lead in the first half and kept the upper hand until the end.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from The Bavarians in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Both teams’ respective rosters have been heavily affected by a string of injuries. We won’t be seeing Ralf Fährmann, Marcin Kamiński, Leo Greiml, Thomas Ouwejan, Ibrahima Cissé, Rodrigo Zalazar Martínez, Sepp van den Berg on the home side and Alphonso Davies, Bouna Sarr, Thomas Müller, Sadio Mané, Matthijs De Ligt on the visitors’. All said and done, though, the latter are still favourites.

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 1.25 odds offered at Betway.
