Premium Tips
A blunt Schalke attack and Hoffenheim’s in-form scorer shape our two picks.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Schalke to fail to score | 2/1 (bet365) | Schalke have scored just four league goals this season, the fewest in the Bundesliga. They have failed to score in six of their eight games, including each of the last three against Mainz, Koln and RB Leipzig. Moreover, Max Wober, one of only four Schalke scorers, is out with a thigh injury. Hoffenheim have kept just one league clean sheet, which is the obvious risk. However, it came in their last home game, a 3-0 win over Leverkusen. For a side this blunt, bet365’s 2/1 looks too big. |
| Alexander Prass to score anytime | 15/4 (Ladbrokes) | Alexander Prass has forced his way into the Hoffenheim side and is making it count. He has started the last four games in all competitions and scored in three of them, against Gladbach, Leverkusen and Crystal Palace. He has also hit the target in all four, with seven shots on target in that run. In the league, he has two goals from just 196 minutes. Meanwhile, Schalke have conceded in five of their eight league games. At 15/4 with Ladbrokes, Prass is the standout bigger-priced scorer. |

How Hoffenheim go into the game
Sitting 12th on nine points, Hoffenheim have been hard to predict this season. They have won three and lost five of their eight league games. Their last four read L W W L, with wins at Gladbach and at home to Leverkusen between defeats to Hamburg and Werder Bremen. Last time out in the league, they lost 2-0 in Bremen, the only game in which they have failed to score. They then drew 1-1 at Crystal Palace in the Europa League on Thursday.
At home, Hoffenheim have won two and lost two, scoring nine goals and conceding seven. Goals have followed them everywhere, with seven of their eight league games going over 2.5 goals. Prass, Adam Daghim, Adam Hlozek and the injured Bambase Conte have two league goals each. Hlozek also leads the side with 22 shots.
However, the injury list is long. Vladimir Coufal, Conte, Robin Hranac, Valentin Gendrey, Nathan De Cat, Albian Hajdari and Patrick Wimmer are all sidelined, while Max Moerstedt is a doubt.
How Schalke go into the game
Second from bottom on six points, Schalke are struggling badly for goals. They have won once in eight league games, a 3-1 victory at Union Berlin in September, and are winless in five since. Their last four read L L D L, and they lost 2-0 at home to RB Leipzig last time out.
Still, Schalke are not easy to break down. They have kept three clean sheets, including goalless draws with Bayern and Koln, and have conceded only nine goals. On the other hand, four goals in eight games is the lowest total in the division. Adil Aouchiche, Kenan Karaman, Robin Gosens and Wober have one league goal each. On the road, they have won one, drawn one and lost two.
Wober is out with a thigh problem. Junior Dina Ebimbe, Janik Bachmann, Adrian Gantenbein, Ron Schallenberg and Moussa Sylla are also injured.
