Schalke vs Hertha Prediction: Don’t expect a lot of goals

The twenty-eighth round of the German football championship starts with a match between Schalke and Hertha. The two underdogs, teams from the bottom of the Bundesliga, will meet. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Schalke

After an away and unexpected win over Bochum, Schalke played four games in the national championship: draws against Dortmund and Augsburg and defeats to Bayer and Hoffenheim. Such results have led to the fact that, before the start of the 28th round of the German championship, Schalke is in the relegation zone, behind fifth-placed Bochum five points behind. Schalke has the 18th-best home statistics in the division, +3=4-7, 14:31 goal difference. It should be noted that in the last five home games, Schalke has won only once, against Stuttgart, with three draws and one defeat.

Hertha

Hertha has even worse recent statistics than Schalke. In their last five games in the Bundesliga, they suffered three defeats and two draws against Mainz and Freiburg. As a result, after 27 games, Hertha is 17th, only one point ahead of Schalke. The away statistics for Hertha are 18th in the league, +1=2-10, 12:29 goal difference. On average, the Berlin side is scoring less than a goal per away game.

Expert Betting Tips

On the one hand, the German Bundesliga is Europe's highest-scoring top league. On the other hand, the upcoming game is a battle of the underdogs, the teams with the weakest attacking lines in the Bundesliga as far as statistics are concerned - and that is especially true for Schalke, who have only scored 21 goals in 27 games. Let's not forget the price of points in a rival confrontation. We believe the match will not be rich in goals. As for the outcome, we wouldn't be surprised if the game ended in a draw.
