Bayern Munich vs Schalke Predictions and Betting Tips

Bayern Munich vs Schalke betting tips and predictions for this Saturday evening’s match at the Allianz Arena, Kick off 5.30pm.

 

Bayern Munich qualified for the Champions League semi-finals this week thanks to a 3-2 win on aggregate over Benfica. There’s no time for celebrations however, as Pep Guardiola will be keen to extend Bayern’s lead over second placed Borussia Dortmund to 10 points as Dortmund will not be playing till Sunday. There are only five games left so you feel that a win here could seal the Bundesliga, allowing them to focus on the DFB Pokal and Champions League.

 

Bayern Munich vs Schalke Predictions

 

Schalke are hot on the tails of the Champions League positions, however will be disappointed they couldn’t capitalise last Sunday against Dortmund in their derby match as Thomas Tuchel rested many of his key men because of the Europa League game. They did come from behind twice to draw 2-2 so there proves to be some good team spirit there to keep them in the match. Defensively I do worry about Schalke as they have conceded 40 goals in their 29 Bundesliga matches.

 

My first Bayern Munich vs Schalke betting tip is going to be Bayern Munich to win and both teams to score. I think Bayern will have no problem banging in two or three goals against Schalke but I do think going forward Schalke can be dangerous, especially when they have Klaas Jan Huntelaar who is a predator in front of goal and can finish the most difficult of chances. William Hill are offering 8/5 for this betting tip, and although fairly short, all I believe you’ll really be waiting for this to come in is a Schalke goal.

 

 

My next Bayern Munich vs Schalke prediction is for there to be a penalty in the match. Bayern have the likes of Ribery, Coman, Lewandowski and Costa running at the Schalke defence as well as Schalke having Huntelaar and Sane going the other way. Penalties seem much more common in Germany, especially at the Allianz, so with Betfair offering 2/1 for there to be a penalty given, I believe there’s good value here.

 

My last football prediction for Bayern vs Schalke in the Bundesliga this weekend is going to be Kingsley Coman to score first. I do think Pep will start him after the exerts in Lisbon midweek, and he loves shooting from long range. He’s on a two-year loan from Juventus with an option to buy, which now seems almost nailed on as he’s hit the ground running since arriving in Bavaria. He also holds a little more value compared to Lewandowski who I also fancied could be first scorer. Coman is 9/1 with Paddy Power to score first.
