Köln Schalke 04 betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match has all the conditions to have several goals at the end of the 90'. Playing on their home ground, Cologne should have the best chances, although they will find it extremely difficult to stop their opponents' counter-attacks. Schalke 04, on the other hand, come into this match highly motivated after their 4x3 win over Eintracht Frankfurt and should try to score at least one goal. Therefore, betting on the "Both teams to score - Yes" market is an excellent option.

Analysis Köln

The home team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 30 points won, after 7 wins, 9 draws and 17 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Freiburg, by (1‑4). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Hertha BSC, by (0‑0). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses at their stadium. For the league, Köln won 9 points out of 30 possible points, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 20 of their 33 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Cologne come into this match on the back of a goalless draw away to Hertha, giving them their second consecutive winless Bundesliga game. The home side need to win to have any chance of staying in the top flight. Now, in this match against Schalke 04, coach Friedhelm Funkel must focus on keeping possession and organised attacks, trying not to concede goals. Ondrej Duda is a fundamental player in the tactical scheme of the team, being the top scorer of the team, with 7 goals. For this match, the home coach will be without Ellyes Skhiri and Ismail Jakobs, both suspended, as well as Jonas Hector, Elvis Rexhbecaj and Benno Schmitz, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Timo Horn, Rafael Czichos, Benno Schmitz, Noah Katterbach, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Marius Wolf, Florian Kainz, Jonas Hector, Ondrej Duda, Salih Özcan, Sebastian Andersson.

Analysis Schalke 04

The away team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 3 wins, 7 draws and 23 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Hertha BSC, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Eintracht Frankfurt, by (4‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 4 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 38 conceded; against 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses at their stadium, with 12 goals scored and 30 conceded.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 13 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first.

In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 24 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Striker Matthew Hoppe is Schalke 04's top scorer with 6 goals. For this match, the visiting coach will be without Benjamin Stambouli, William, Nabil Bentaleb, Can Bozdogan, Omar Mascarell, Nassim Boujellab, Suat Serdar, Hamza Mendyl, Matija Nastasic and Levent Mercan, due to injuries.
