Schalke vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
Schalke 04 will play against FC Union Berlin in its own Veltins Arena on Friday evening. The doctoral student is in excellent shape, so Schalke will have to attend class.
Schalke 04:
For Schalke 04, it is still a great football year. Worse than last season, when the club from Gelsenkirchen finished just above the relegation line, it could not actually go. After twelve matches, Die Königsblauen is in fifth place. Only twice did the blue and white lose in the competition. The fact that, unlike most other teams in the top half of the rankings, they do not have the distraction of European competitions, probably also contributes to the success. Last week Schalke was 1-2 strong for Werder Bremen.
“We want to continue our good game against Union Berlin,” attacker Benito Raman told Schalke’s own media this week. Raman last scored his first league goal for Schalke, after the Belgian came over from Fortuna Düsseldorf last summer. “I’m on the right track,” says Raman, who will normally be in the starting line-up on Friday. Schalke is not completely free of injury, but coach David Wagner can send a representative team into the field.
FC Union Berlin:
1. FC Union Berlin is one of the surprises of this seizeon in the Bundesliga for the time being. The club that was promoted as the third and last club in the 2. Bundesliga last year performs by far the best among the promoted clubs. Four of the last five league games were won by the Berlin club. Last week Die Eisernen were 2-0 too strong for leader Borussia Mönchengladbach. It was not a disappointment in that game, but Union’s game was great at the same time.
“We need an optimal day and we also need some luck,” trainer Urs Fischer said modestly at the weekly press conference about Friday’s match. The coach can once again have Robert Andrich, who was forced to take a break last week due to a suspension. Sheraldo Becker is unlucky that the team is doing well without him lately. The offside player will most likely start on the bench.
