Schalke vs Union Prediction: Betting on Union's First Win

By coincidence, Schalke are still outside the relegation zone, in 13th position, with one point more than Hertha, which, in turn, is in the transition zone.

Union continues to surprise. The Berlin team is progressing from season to season and has definitely given up even the thought of fighting for survival. All their thoughts are aimed at a place in the European competitions, the camp even considers the chances of eventually break into the top 4. The team started with a confident victory over Hertha, then got an away draw against Mainz, and in the third round defeated Leipzig 2:1. In the standings, Union is third, with seven points and two points behind leader Bayern.
