Schalke 04 Union Berlin betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Given what we discussed earlier, the possibility of a game with a few goals is great. It is true that Union Berlin are in a better position in this Bundesliga, however, they face a team that usually make good games at their stadium. Thus, we expect the home team to dominate ball possession and create several chances for goals, since they have a quality squad. In this way, we imagine a very open game with several plays of danger, making risking in favor of "Both teams to score - Yes" a good option.

After 3 losses, the home team is in the 18th position and hasn't won any points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against RB Leipzig by (4‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (1‑3) at home, against Werder Bremen.

Despite this negative phase, manager Manuel Baum should keep the team in 3-5-2 favoring ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the right aisle: Mark Uth is very fast and competent in transporting the ball to the attack. Note that the home team have some weaknesses in set pieces and finishing. For this game, the home team can not count on Ozan Kabak, suspended, as well as Suat Serdar and Fahrmann, these with physical problems.
