Augsburg vs Schalke Betting Tips

Augsburg vs Schalke Prediction 1: Augsburg To Win

Augsburg vs Schalke Betting Tips

Despite Augsburg's recent inconsistent form, they are still expected to come out on top in their upcoming match. Their resurgence has been marked by a 2-1 win over Bremen, as well as their brave fight against the league leaders Bayern Munich in a thrilling 5-3 defeat. Moreover, Augsburg had gone unbeaten in their past four home league games before this encounter. Another reason to believe a victory for the home team is that in their 5 most recent encounters against Schalke, Augsburg has shown their mettle by winning 2 matches, drawing 2, and only suffering 1 defeat.

Augsburg vs Schalke Prediction 2: Under 2.5 Total Goals

In their last six games, Augsburg under Enrico Maaßen have scored a total of eight goals. They've given up 11 goals in those contests, which is the comparable number. The Schalke defense has put on a string of strong performances, lowering their overall "goals against" total to 3 from their last 6 games. The total number of goals they have personally scored over that time is 6. We'll have to check to determine if this pattern can hold here. Given the previous performances of both clubs, we anticipate a competitive game with fewer than 2.5 goals.
