Schalke vs Bayern Munich Preview

 

Schalke didn't have the best of starts last week. A disappointing 1-0 defeat away at Eintracht Frankfurt hasn't given the fans much confidence going into this game, this match certainly won't define their season, but it's always a good gauge to see how their team fare at home against the strongest team in the division.

 

It will also be an opportunity for the fanatical fans to get a glimpse of some of the shrewd acquisitions that have been made this summer. After selling Leroy Sane for €50 million, they've had cash to spend on recruiting for this season. Breel Embolo is their biggest purchase at €25 million, and as one of the most exciting teenage talents in Europe they've done fantastically well to win his signature. The got Naldo on a free transfer and paid €8.5 million for Tottenham flop Benjamin Stambouli as well as €5 million on Liverpool fans heartbreaker Coke who scored in the Europa League final. They've also signed Baba Rahman, Konoplyanka and Bentaleb on loan who are excellent additions.

 

Bayern Munich are expected to win the league again, and a 6-0 hammering against Werder Bremen last week in Carlo Ancelotti's first home match in charge hasn't changed those expectations. Many of the fans feel similar to PSG fans in that the league is bread and butter, and it's in the Champions League that waves need to be made. Successive semi final appearances are very good, however reaching the final and winning it are what the fans want to be doing. Robert Lewandowski has scored two hat tricks in a row and will be keen to keep his form going for Bayern Munich.

 

Schalke vs Bayern Munich Predictions

 

My first betting tip for Schalke v Bayern Munich is going to be Both Teams to Score. I expect Bayern to score in every game in the league this season as their attack is just too potent I believe for most defences in Germany to cope with. Schalke are one of the better teams in this league, and if Bayern were to struggle away in a match, this could be one of the games you'd imagine something may happen. William Hill are offering 19/20 for Both Teams to Score.

 

Half-Time Result

My next Schalke vs Bayern Munich betting tip is going to be for the match to be a draw at half time. I don't think Bayern would mind this game ending a draw, but they're very good in second half of matches. The atmosphere and the fact Schalke need to perform may keep things close in the first half, which is why Bet365 offering 7/4 for the half time draw is good value.

 

Correct Score

My final Schalke vs Bayern Munich prediction is going to be 2-1 final score to Bayern Munich from the correct score betting market. As I've stated, I believe it could be close early doors, but as the game wears on the killer instinct of Bayern's attackers plus the use of substitutions could mean a late winner for Bayern. Also, Bet Victor are offering 8/1 for this correct score which is a good price.
