Schalke 04 - Wolfsburg betting tips and odds

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Schalke 04 are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

If everything goes according to plan and Wolfsburg put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Schalke will head into the Friday clash on a big wave of confidence following their Borussia M'gladbach away draw. They return home after keeping it level both at the halftime mark and after the final whistle despite being made overwhelming underdogs in their last game.

Wolfsburg lost their previous home game against Bayern München with a considerably high 2:4 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Wolfsburg’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.

All things considered, the things are not looking too bright for Schalke ahead of their Friday clash with Wolfsburg. Sitting deep inside the relegation zone with 11 to their name after 20 rounds, the closing stages of the season are likely to turn into a proper struggle for the hosts.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 2.00 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

Schalke 04’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Justin Heekeren, Sebastian Polter, Sepp van den Berg have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at Schalke 04,

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.77, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
