Schalke have quietly put together a solid start and welcome an entertaining but leaky Elversberg side to the Veltins-Arena on Sunday. The hosts are unbeaten in two and defensively sound, while the visitors have been involved in goals at both ends every week, so an open game with a home edge looks likely.
Anthony Eadson’s Schalke vs Elversberg predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson leans towards the hosts, with value on the visitors’ hot streak.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Schalke to win | 21/20 (Betfred) | Schalke have quietly found their feet, unbeaten in two and coming off a spirited 3-1 win at Union, and they have looked solid at the back with two clean sheets already. Elversberg have been box office but leaky, scoring eight but conceding seven, and they lost 2-1 at Bayern last time. At 21/20, the hosts look a fair price at the Veltins-Arena. Schalke’s greater defensive steel should edge them past an open, entertaining Elversberg side. |
| Maurice Krattenmacher to score anytime | 3/1 (bet365) | Krattenmacher has been Elversberg’s standout performer, already three goals to the good and their clear focal point in attack. Elversberg score in every game and their striker is in the form of his life. Three goals in three games is a rate that dwarfs the roughly 25 percent chance implied by 3/1, so the value is obvious. Even against an improving Schalke defence, the promoted side will create, and their in form striker is the obvious man to take a chance. Back him to continue his hot streak. |

How Schalke 04 go into the game
Schalke have knuckled down, losing 3-0 at Augsburg before a goalless draw with Bayern and a 3-1 win at Union. Two clean sheets already point to a solid defence.
Organised and hard to beat, Schalke will fancy their chances against an open Elversberg at home.
How Elversberg go into the game
Elversberg have been box office, beating Leverkusen 3-2 and winning 4-3 at Gladbach before a 2-1 loss at Bayern. Eight scored and seven conceded means goals follow them around.
Thrilling but leaky, Elversberg score in every game but ship them at the other end, and they face a sterner defensive test here.
