Schalke vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
Looking at the shape of the last few weeks, it comes on Wednesday to an absolute top game. The royal blue Schalke will welcome FC Augsburg on Matchday 16. The miners have been unbeaten in nine games, the Fugger city for three now.
Schalke :
Since the defeat on 23.9.17 at TSG Hoffenheim, the men have no longer lost to coach Tedesco and develop under him to an absolute top team.
After 15 rounds played, Schalke are currently in third place, just one point behind RB Leipzig.
From the last three Bundesliga games, however, they brought only three points and played, inter alia, against BVB in Revier Derby after 4: 0 rest of the gap still 4: 4. This derby will definitely go down in history. Naldo headed in stoppage time the much acclaimed compensation.
A week later, the miners came in front of home crowd against the bottom of the table FC Cologne over a 2: 2 not out and that despite twice led.
Last weekend, they played in the top match of the 15th match day with the Gladbacher foals, which made their lives very difficult and only because of more than controversial refereeing decisions only 1: 0 lag behind the break. The goal for the foals scored national player Kramer, who switched after a corner the fastest and pressed the ball from a short distance over the line. Thereafter, the Gladbachern a normal goal was denied and taken back a given penalty. Both times, the video assistant came on. Why, the referee will keep his secret and the decisions made even on Schalke side for head shaking.
Be that as it may, in the second round Schalke was the better team and came relatively happy for a 1-1 equalizer. Vestergaard on the foal side scored an own goal. It stayed that way and the Schalke were as happy as the Gladbacher over this point.
On Wednesday, the Augsburg are on Schalke and against them they picked up all points except for a draw in front of a home crowd.
Striker Burgstaller, who have been beaten by Gladbach, will return to the team.
Ferryman – Kehrer, Naldo, Nastasic, Oczipka – M. Meyer – Embolo, McKennie, Harit, D. Caligiuri – Burgstaller
Augsburg :
The Fuggerstadter continue their run and are except for the away defeat at league leaders Bayern Munich on Matchday 12 for five games without defeat, have taken seven points from the last three games.
If they had beaten Hertha in Augsburg after Wolfsburg’s home crowd and FSV Mainz away to last matchday, they would even be fourth in the table.
However, Kalou had something against in stoppage time and equalized the opening goal by Caiuby from the 74th minute but still out.
Shortly before that, Gregoritsch still had a great chance of making a preliminary decision on the Augsburg side. The otherwise so confident Austrian, who was directly involved with his strike partner Finnbogason at almost all gates of the Fuggerstädter, however, hit the outside net and thus enabled Hertha the lucky point.
On Wednesday, the Augsburger travel to their opponent of fear to Schalke, where they have never been able to win.
Opare returns to the team after serving a yellow card suspension.
Hitz – Opare, Gouweleeuw, Hinteregger, Max – Koo, D. Baier – Heller, Gregory, Caiuby – Finnbogason
