Schalke vs Augsburg Prediction

Schalke to win and under 2.5 goals scored – 7/2 with bet365.

After losing just three league games during the first half of the Bundesliga campaign, Schalke appeared set for a decent season and potential European qualification. A 2-0 home win against Bayer Leverkusen following the Winter break offered more promise but they never seemed to recover from a subsequent 5-0 loss at Bayern Munich. The Gelsenkirchen based team are winless since that defeat and a 4-0 reverse in the Revierderby at Borussia Dortmund last weekend was a particularly devastating blow. Head Coach David Wagner will now be hoping for a change in fortunes, and they have lost just two league games on home soil this term.

As for Augsburg, avoiding relegation remains the main priority but five successive defeats on the road prior to the COVID-19 lockdown is not a good omen. The Bavarian team have also lost their last four games against decent opposition but were perhaps unfortunate to lose last weekend when conceding a very late winner in a 2-1 home defeat by Wolfsburg. Augsburg will also hope that new Head Coach Heiko Herrlich will be available after breaking quarantine rules last time.

Schalke will start favourites for this match, but they have netted just once in six competitive matches while visitors Augsburg have failed to score a goal in their last four away fixtures. Expect a low-scoring contest, and the first of these Schalke vs Augsburg predictions is for a home win with under 2.5 goals scored available at 7/2 with bet365.

 

Schalke vs Augsburg Correct Score Prediction

Schalke to win 1-0 – 17/2 with Bet365.

For both out-of-form teams, just collecting three points will be a priority with only one win apiece earned this year in Bundesliga action. Schalke have lost 5-0 on two occasions during 2020 but five home wins earned this campaign proves that they can be a capable team when confident. However, a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim before the lockdown ended a four-game sequence in competitive action when no goals were scored by the team.

With Heiko Herrlich expected to be standing on the touchline, expect a positive response from Augsburg following their last defeat last weekend. Yet the Bundesliga strugglers have netted two goals or more on their travels just twice this season and appear relatively more comfortable playing on home turf. Therefore, few goals are likely in this fixture but with a narrow and nervous home victory anticipated, the next of our Schalke vs Augsburg tips is for a 1-0 win for the hosts at odds of 13/2 with Bet365.

 

Schalke vs Augsburg Anytime Goalscorer Tip

• Ahmed Kutucu – 15/8
• Alfred Finnbogason – 15/8
• Benito Raman – 15/8
• Guido Burgstaller – 15/8
• Michael Gregoritsch – 15/8
• Suat Serdar – 9/4
• Amine Harit – 12/5
• Florian Niederlechner – 12/5

Amine Harit to score any time – 12/5 with Bet365.

A regular starter for Schalke this season, Amine Harit has netted six Bundesliga goals for the team this season but like his fellow players, he has struggled in front of goal this year. Yet during the 4-0 away loss at Borussia Dortmund last weekend, Harit did appear to be one of the sharper visiting opponents and played the full ninety minutes which underlines his importance to the team. The 22-year-old attacker and fellow forward Guido Burgstaller are two of the main goalscoring threats for the hosts but the former player has proved to be more reliable this season.

Therefore, our third and final bet is for Amine Harit to score anytime in the clash.
