Hertha Berlin vs Schalke Predictions
Hertha come into this game on the back of a 2-0 away defeat to Hamburg, they’ll be slightly disappointed with their result but they are still clinging onto the last automatic Champions League qualification place – something they could have only dreamed of at the start of the season. They have been the Leicester City of the Bundesliga, and they thoroughly deserve to be sitting in 3rd with just nine games to go. They know their home form will be vital to stay in contention for Champions League.
Schalke have picked up eight points in their last four Bundesliga matches and have started to show glimpses of excellent play in their matches. Their shock 3-0 defeat in the Europa League at home to Shakhtar may end up proving to be a slight blessing, as it does mean all their focus can now be on the Bundesliga, and the fight for Champions League. They’ve just beaten Koln 3-1 away which will boost their confidence, and that has pushed them up to 4th and just a point behind Hertha.
This game will be end to end, and I do believe both teams are evenly matched. The atmosphere created in the stadium can be incredible, and although it won’t be full, you can still expect 55000+ spectators making a raucous atmosphere. Both teams do like to play on the counter so some tweaking may be needed by each manager if their team are to take the game by the scruff of the neck. I do think this match will end as a draw for my football tips on the match, and that’s not sitting on the fence, I do think Schalke on paper have the slightly better squad, but as Hertha are at home, that might push them on.
My first Hertha Berlin vs Schalke prediction for this week is for the game to end a draw, the best odds for this are 23/10 with Betfred.

My next Hertha Berlin v Schalke betting tip for the match is over 2.5 match goals, in both teams it’s easy to pick at least a couple of goal scorers for each, and couple that with the fact that when Schalke are involved in a match – there’s usually entertainment and plenty of goals in it.

My final Hertha Berlin vs Schalke prediction is an anytime goal scorer tip. I think Salomon Kalou has a great chance of bagging a goal on Friday. He has 12 goals in 23 Bundesliga matches this season and he’s Hertha Berlin’s top goalscorer and main threat. He’s already spoken of inspiring the Hertha Berlin team to European competition next season, so it’s time for him to lead by example and take charge.
The best odds for Kalou to score anytime against Schalke this week are 23/10 with 888Sport.
