Schalke v Chelsea Betting Tips and Predictions

Chelsea head to Germany to face Schalke in the Champions League on Tuesday and we have free football betting tips in what will be somewhat of a reunion.

The blues face up to their ex-player and manager Roberto Di Matteo who famously led them to Champions League glory in 2012.

Although Mourinho's men are set for qualification into the next round, this game is of vital importance to the club as they want to secure top spot – and with it a chance to avoid some of the big boys when they progress.

The German side come into this one with a mixed bag of results with three wins and three defeats in their last six in all competitions. In stark contrast Chelsea are flying – having not suffered a defeat in their 18 games this season and coasting at the top of the Premier League.

Die Königsblauen haven't fared well against English sides at home in recent times, not picking up a victory in their last five (losing three and drawing two).

Bearing this in mind and the form Chelsea are currently enjoying I can see the blues securing top spot with a win in this one and with relative ease. Schalke have shipped bags of goals in their recent Champions League matches and I believe this will aid Chelsea in winning by more than one goal so for our first Schalke vs Chelsea betting tip we’re with Chelsea to win with a -1 handicap at the best odds of 9/4 with Sky Bet.

It is also worth noting that Chelsea have conceded only one goal in their last five games against Schalke having succeeded with a 3-0 victory in Gelsenkirchen in last year's competition.

So if you fancy Terry, Cahill and co. keeping out their old gaffer's side then a bet on Chelsea to win to nil could be a sensible option for our next football tip at odds of 9/4, again with Sky Bet.

Chelsea are understandably strong favourites to beat Schalke and we are tipping to get the win they need. Diego Costa has not stopped scoring since he came to the Premier League and for our first scorer prediction on Schalke v Chelsea we are with Diego Costa to score first at odds of 4/1 with Paddy Power.
