Schalke 04 Draw no Bet
Schalke 04 and Bochum occupy two of the bottom four places in the Bundesliga after winless starts to the campaign, though the hosts could land a crucial blow in this early relegation six-pointer on Saturday. Bochum have a lengthy list of absentees to contend with at present and with up to seven players potentially missing from their squad, they look vulnerable. Schalke should be able to take advantage of their opponent’s misfortune, though side with them in the draw no bet stakes for added insurance.
Under 2.5 Goals
Unsurprisingly, both Schalke and Bochum rank among the Bundesliga’s lowest-scoring teams this season, averaging just 1.0 and 0.6 goals per 90 minutes respectively so far and with little attacking quality likely to be on show at the VELTINS-Arena, we expect to see a low-scoring tussle. The teams have notched just two goals between them in their last six fixtures combined and bettors are advised to pursue the under 2.5 goals market when these shot-shy outfits collide.
