Schalke vs Hertha Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
The “mining” team starts lightly as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it possesses, which usually increases when it acts in Gelsenkirchen. For this reason and knowing that he will handle the ball, we believe that the bet “Schalke will win any half” is interesting to bet. Remember that the people of the capital are combative in their actions, but could end up losing by some punctual play. It paints to be a fought and tactical duel, but favorable to the “blues” because of its greater individual hierarchy.
Schalke:
The start of the “blue” league was not very good to say after losing 2-1 to Wolfsburg last Saturday. The worst of the situation was having lost in the last play of the game and after having equalized with 5 minutes left to go. For this game, Tedesco is expected to repeat the tactical drawing he used against the “Lobos”, trying to be more direct when attacking (3-4-1-2). Of course, the coach can not leave more on the bench to weight players like Franco Di Santo, the Swiss Emboló and the Algerian Bentaleb.
This will be Schalke’s first home game in this Bundesliga, with his goal being to make a strong foray in Gelsenkirchen and repeat the results he achieved last season (10 wins, 5 draws and 2 knockdowns). In terms of goals, he scored 27 and gave 15 on his fence, proving to be an effective team in attack and relatively solid in defensive matters. Thanks to these numbers, it got to be the third best place of competition, being only behind the champion Bayern Munich and the dapper Hoffenheim.
Hertha Berlin:
The capital picture comes well to this duel after beating 1-0 at Nuremberg in its first appearance for this Bundesliga. Now your goal is to stand well in this exit and see if you can add at least one point at least. The logic indicates that coach Dardai is cautious, as his boys will play against one of the strongest rivals in the tournament. Of course, we believe that it will maintain the 3-4-3 system that he used last Saturday. Two players who will be vital in Gelsenkirchen will be forward Ibisevic and the legendary Salomón Kalou, who has been on the team for several years after his successful spell at Chelsea.
This will be Hertha Berlin’s first start in the championship, with his goal improving the numbers he got in the previous season (5 wins, 6 draws and 6 total falls). If goals are involved, he scored 20 and gave 19 on his fence, standing out for being a compact and competitive eleven between the lines. If we review these numbers we can say that the “blue and white” are uncomfortable to overcome, despite having alternated good and bad results in this condition. The logic indicates that try to protect in defense, trying to counterattack to score.
In the last 6 and a half years, Schalke and Hertha Berlin have met 6 times in Gelsenkirchen. These were the results of these matches: Schalke’s 4-0 win in April 2012, Schalke’s 2-0 victory in March 2014, Schalke’s 2-0 win in October 2014, Schalke’s 2-1 victory in October 2014. 2015, Schalke’s 2-0 win in February 2017 and Schalke’s 1-0 victory in March 2018. Apparently, the paternity of the “miner” team at home is brutal (10 wins in a row since February 2007) . The last time the capitalists won in this stadium was in November 2014 (1-3).
