Schalke 04 - Köln betting tips and odds

The hosts have everything stacking up against them in this match including the betting odds of 2.60. Köln will indeed find it very hard to beat The Billy Goats here but nothing is impossible if you try hard enough.

The Billy Goats are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Schalke 04’s previous performance against Eintracht Frankfurt brought a $RESULT stalemate which lasted throughout the runtime. All things considered, though, this can be counted as a bit of a success for them. After all, they were in an away game against a greatly favoured team.

Koln’s previous round was a home match against Hertha BSC which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.30 odds on a home win.

Schalke’s recent Bundesliga away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 9 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

The Billy Goats’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 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.

With a 18th place in the Bundesliga rankings, Schalke can’t afford to relax even though there’s plenty of time left in the season. They’ll need a strong performance this Wednesday if they’re aiming to get out of the relegation zone.

Though Köln are not in the relegation zone quite yet, they may be on the way there. With half the season behind us, they are still struggling to end it on a high note.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1.80 but is well worth the price.
