Match Preview

FC Schalke 04 have been the very definition of hit and miss so far in the 2017/18 Bundesliga. They come into our FC Schalke 04 vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen preview with a record of three wins and three defeats from six fixtures. Their performances at the Veltins-Arena have been far more impressive than their performances on the road and only German champions Bayern Munich have beaten Die Königsblauen in front of their own fans. Domenico Tedesco’s attackers have been short of goals however, in fact, Schalke have only netted seven times in six Bundesliga fixtures. Midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is their top scorer with just two goals. Their lack of goal getting power has caused a definite shift in the bookmaker’s football odds.

The away team enter our FC Schalke 04 vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen betting tips off the back of a resounding 3-0 win against Hamburg. It was their second big home win in a row having put four past Freiburg without a reply a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately for Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager Heiko Herrlich, his players haven’t been able to replicate their act away from the BayArena – they have lost three from three on their travels, to Bayern, Mainz, and Hertha Berlin.

FC Schalke 04 vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen Prediction and Betting Advice

The first of our FC Schalke 04 vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen bets concerns the outright markets, where we predict a home win. Even though the history books show that Bayer have won on their last three visits to the Veltins-Arena, the goalposts have shifted a little this year and their away form, three losses in three, just cannot be ignored. Schalke have been heavily reliant on gaining points at home and they have already beaten RB Leipzig and Stuttgart at their own ground. The away team have conceded an average of just under three goals in their games as the visiting side. The last time the teams met in April, Die Königsblauen battered Bayer 4-1 at the BayArena. That result alone should give them the impetus to go on and take the points. We recommend you to use the odds for this selection on Sportingbet. Their value is unbeatable.

There hasn’t been a 0-0 draw between these teams in thirty-six meetings, going all the way back to the year 2000. More recently, in three of their last four contests, both teams have scored, so you can see why this selection is the next pick for our football tips today and a worthy addition to our FC Schalke 04 vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen predictions. Bayer have actually scored in twelve consecutive Bundesliga matches, stretching back to the end of the 2016/17 season. The home team have only failed to get on the scoresheet once in ten league matches in Gelsenkirchen. Recent contests between our featured teams have averaged around three goals per game. Betfred’s prices and odds for our pick provide potential bettors with amazing value and variety.
