Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Freiburg and their sharp-shooter.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Igor Matanović to score anytime | 11/8 (Sky Bet) | Igor Matanović has been Freiburg’s spearhead, hitting at least two shots on target in three straight games and racking up nine for the season as the hosts have climbed to third. Freiburg have scored in every game and won both at home, while Schalke have managed just three goals all season and look short of a cutting edge. With the hosts set to dominate, Matanović is the obvious route to goal. At 11/8 the striker in this kind of shooting form is the standout pick. |
| Freiburg 2-0 Schalke | 17/2 (bet365) | Freiburg are unbeaten, have scored in every game and won both home matches, while Schalke have been toothless with just three goals all season and have kept it tight rather than attacked. The hosts should have far too much quality, and against a side this blunt a clean-sheet home win is a realistic outcome rather than a bold call. Schalke’s low-scoring profile makes a comfortable Freiburg victory likely. A 2-0 home win at 17/2 is the value selection on the correct score. |
