Elversberg vs Schalke tips and predictions

Schalke facing 2. Bundesliga reverse

This Elversberg team has reliable goal-scorers in their squad. The total goals expectation with the sportsbooks is a bigger number than usual so this could be entertaining.

Elversberg are currently in tenth place as they get set to welcome 12th place Schalke.

The jury's still out on this one and it should be a good game.

Elversberg have posted some solid wins ahead of this one. The hosts have strung together 8 wins in their last 20 matches while the travelling side has been patchy. They've lost 12 of their recent 18 matches on the road.

The hosts have had some excellent spells in previous displays. Elversberg have scored three or more goals in 3 of their recent 8 matches.

Schalke can be guilty of losing their shape away from home. As a result they've condeded an average of 2.7 goals in their last 20 matches away from their own turf. If there are issues, maybe they are creeping into the other end of the pitch. Averaging just 0.8 goals in their last 4 away matches, creating match-winning chances is proving elusive for Die Konigsblauen.

If they don't go the whole nine yards and get the win, don't rule out the draw. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option here. And for fans of the goal line, it's Under 2.5 Goals in this match given the prices available there.
