Premium Tips
Andy is with Bayern, who should have far too much for a beaten Schalke.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Both teams to score and over 3.5 goals | 13/10 | The over 3.5 side is strongly backed. Bayern have hammered Schalke whenever these two have met recently, scoring 28 goals across the last six meetings with scorelines including 8-0, 6-0 and 5-0, and they opened this season with a 5-1 win, so they routinely clear the goals line on their own. |
| Harry Kane and Luis Diaz to score anytime and Michael Olise to score or assist | 11/4 | The individual output here is elite. Kane has 36 goals in 33 games in the sample from 121 shots, better than a goal a game, and faces a Schalke defence that shipped three in its opener, making him as close to a nailed-on scorer as exists. Diaz brings 16 goals and 14 assists in 33, and Olise a huge 35 goal involvements (16 goals, 19 assists) in 34 games, so his score-or-assist line is very well supported. Against Bayern’s scoring record versus Schalke, all three should be involved. |

How Schalke 04 go into the game
Schalke were beaten 3-0 at Augsburg on their return to the Bundesliga, a chastening start. The Veltins-Arena will be raucous but the task is huge.
Newly promoted, Schalke will look to stay compact and limit the damage. Keeping the score down would be a creditable effort.
How Bayern Munich go into the game
Bayern Munich hammered Stuttgart 5-1 on the opening weekend, an ominous statement. They travel to Gelsenkirchen expecting another comfortable win.
Loaded with quality, Bayern are the team to beat and should have far too much for Schalke. Anything but a convincing win would be a shock.
