Werder Bremen vs Schalke Prediction & Betting tips
What do Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Claudio Pizarro have in common? One ended his successful career in the summer, the other postponed the end of his career for Schalke 04’s sake.
The Peruvian and Dutchman certainly have in common the fact that they still have a nose for goal even in old age. SVW coach Florian Kohfeldt warned before the duel between the two clubs Bremen and Schalke on Saturday, therefore, not in vain to keep a special eye on the newcomer to the Royal Blues.
Celebrate calf injury and help to bring about the immensely important away win for the Knappen on the Weser.
Between Werder Bremen and Schalke, the odds for a tip on the Hanseatic League are below the 2.0 mark, while the stake with successful bets on the away win can be more than quadrupled. The match will kick off at the classic kick-off time at 14:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
Werder Bremen :
After the 1: 4 on the first matchday, Werder Bremen was able to return the favor to the old lady from Berlin with a 4: 1 success in their Olympic stadium last weekend. Reversing the first leg result, that shouldn’t happen from the perspective of the North Germans against the second opponent. At the beginning of October S04 was beaten 3-1 and a defeat on Saturday would represent a major setback for Florian Kohfeldt’s team in the relegation battle.
The green-and-whites just got a little cushion downstairs. In order to build on the good performance in the capital, there is actually no reason to change the starting line-up. However, Kohfeldt will probably be forced to make some changes. Davie Selke and Ömer Toprak had to be replaced injured and their commitment is still a question mark.
Josh Sargent, who scored a dream goal as the joker against the old lady and recommended himself for further appearances, is therefore very likely to storm in the attack. Niklas Moisander could start in the defense chain. Otherwise, the hosts’ hopes rest mainly on the shoulders of the young trio Felix Agu / Jean-Manuel Mbom / Romano Schmid.
These three actors are real new discoveries this season and have kept improving over the past few weeks. Should the coach want to give one of the young players a break, Kevin Möhwald would again be a candidate for the starting XI. After FC Augsburg were defeated 2-0 in the Weserstadion last time, another three on Saturday would improve the Hanseatic team’s still weak home record.
A direct competitor would be kept at a distance and in the Bundesliga table a jump to tenth place is possible this weekend. A forecast can be made between Werder Bremen and Schalke, as the momentum and the form speak clearly for the hosts.
Schalke :
With all the criticism that the Schalke club officials had to take this season, there is one thing you certainly cannot blame them for – that they don’t try everything. Several big transfer coups have already been successful in winter and after the two returnees Sead Kolasinac, who will start again on Saturday, and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, whose debut is imminent, another high-quality newcomer has been announced.
The Brazilian William – known from his time at VfL Wolfsburg, closes the construction site on the right side of the defense with the Knappen. It is very likely that he will appear in Bremen from the start. Huntelaar could only play the role of joker, which is not a bad thing.
In the last few games, Matthew Hoppe was the sole leader in the Royal Blues and the American youngster impressed with five goals in the last four games. Only in the 4-0 draw against Bayern last weekend did the striker fail to score. Excluding the match against the record champions, despite the fluctuating results, a slight upward trend and an upswing can be seen among the miners.
With seven points on the account and eight points behind the relegation place 16, the time at the beginning of the second half of the season is slowly but surely running out for S04. Coach Christian Gross’ team can no longer afford many slip-ups and a success on the Weser would be incredibly important. This would also complete a circle for the royal blues.
For 19 games, the club has been waiting for a success abroad. Most recently, this was achieved in Bremen, of all places, in 2019. If a tip on the odds for the away win is successful between Werder Bremen and Schalke, not only will this black series end, but the guests could also put a real exclamation point in the relegation battle of the Bundesliga.
