Borussia M'gladbach - Schalke 04 betting tips and odds

It’s easy to point out Borussia M'gladbach as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Borussia M'Gladbach and the fact that Schalke 04 are given 6.00 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Schalke 04 victory would be a shocking surprise.

Borussia M'Gladbach have a lot of reasons to be proud of their previous Bundesliga performance. Their opponents Hoffenheim were hard favourites and had the home-field advantage, but Borussia M'Gladbach pulled ahead in the first half. The end result was a stunning 1:4 away win.

Most bookies were expecting the away team’s previous match to be completely one-sided, but it ended with a 0:0 draw. They went toe to toe with Köln throughout the game’s runtime, which is not something most Bundesliga betting tips saw coming.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Schalke’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 9 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Though they’re considered to be the clear underdogs in this game, Schalke should have clear motivation to reach their goals. They’re stuck in the relegation zone as we enter round 19, and they’ll need to act quickly while there’s still time.

Schalke and Borussia M. tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Borussia M'Gladbach are still considered more likely to come out on top this Saturday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
