Wolfsburg vs Schalke 04 Prediction & Betting tips
VfL Wolfsburg will host Schalke 04 on Wednesday evening. Both teams managed to turn their last weekend’s game into a win. Who has the best papers for success on Wednesday?
VfL Wolfsburg:
VfL Wolfsburg managed to beat the league leader of the Bundesliga on Sunday. In the Volkswagen city, Die Wölfe were 2-1 too strong for Borussia Mönchengladbach. Wolfsburg made it a hard and physical competition. Wout Weghorst and his teammates also came up with opportunities, although the match seemed to end in a draw. However, in the absolute final phase Max Arnold took care of the full booty. With the win, Wolfsburg continues to participate well in European football.
Wolfsburg is also playing European this season. The Europa League group stage was successfully completed, making Wolfsburg one of the 32 teams in the draw for the first knockout round. The club from Lower Saxony was linked to the Swedish Malmö FF. “It will be two difficult matches, even though we could have drawn heavier opponents,” captain Josuha Guilavogui said after the draw.
FC Schalke 04:
Schalke 04 won a hard-fought victory just like Wolfsburg last weekend. Those Königsblauen played a home game against Eintracht Frankfurt, in which the odds were scarce. Benito Raman scored the opening goal shortly after the break. Moments later goalkeeper Alexander Nübel had to leave the field after a hard foul with a red card. The club from Gelsenkirchen had to survive in the remainder of the match, which eventually succeeded. The game ended in a home win (1-0).
Trainer David Wagner cannot appeal to Nübel, who is suspended, on Wednesday. The young Markus Schubert will replace him. The young keeper also came in on Sunday. “He did it really well,” Wagner complimented his second goalkeeper. “He radiated peace and was in the places where he needed to be.” Weston McKennie dropped out injured on Sunday. The American is absent on Wednesday, which means further improvisation is needed in the defense.
