Freiburg vs Schalke Prediction & Betting tips
Freiburg vs. Germany Schalke. Would you have thought before the season that this game on the fifth matchday is a game between places 14 and 18? And even if, no one would have remotely thought that the miners are the ones holding the red lantern with zero points. But that’s exactly how it is. Schalke lost every single game and is rightly on the last place in the table. Tedesco still has the bonus of last year. The question is, how long will this be the case? It is usually the coaches who have to hold their heads in the end.
Freiburg:
Christian Streich’s team is doing what they want every year. They want to secure the class and ideally not even have to fight for it. So far, they have four points from four games and are thus ranked 14th in the league. If you take a look at the teams behind them, however, it smells badly about relegation battle. Sooner or later, Schalke, Stuttgart, Leverkusen and Hannover will probably make it to the top again.
Not much hope spreads the currently worst defensive in the league. With nine goals they occupy the last place in this category. On the other hand, the Freiburg offensive is a hope. With seven goals scored only Wolfsburg, Dortmund, Hertha and the Munich scored more goals than the Breisgauer. After last year’s relegation to place 15 just barely succeeded, it looks accordingly this year again after a relegation battle. If on the last day no surprise 3-1 win at VfL Wolfsburg jumped out, they would now even ranked 17th If Freiburg ties to this performance, the Streich-Elf could cause quite a surprise in the upcoming basement duel against Schalke. Personnel is the failure of Sallai a bitter setback for the SC. His 1-0 led Freiburg last weekend on the road to victory.
Schalke:
A trained eye quickly sees that each opponent of the Schalke is in the top 6 of the Bundesliga table. We would therefore tend not to regard the Tedesco Elf as bad as it currently is. Still, it is unacceptable that the runner-up could collect zero points from all these games.
But why is that? First, the worst storm in the league. Only two goals were scored. This is too little even for the defensive style of Tedesco. On the other hand, this is mainly due to the many goals conceded. With eight goals, they also put the second worst value in this category. Striking is also that Schalke is very vulnerable in standard situations this season. If it was almost impossible in 2017/2018 to score against corner-pieces or free-kicks against the miners, this is one of the biggest problems for the Gelsenkircheners this season. They conceded two goals in every match.
Hope, however, makes the Champions League game against Porto. Although it was enough in the end only for a 1: 1, but you can quite the performance and attitude with the school grade “good” title. In terms of player material Schalke should be the favorite in this game. So say the odds between Freiburg and Schalke. But if it really worth betting on Schalke, we try to explain in conclusion.
