Wolfsburg v Schalke predictions and betting tips

Wolfsburg had a terrible time in Hannover on match day 1. After going down 1-0 early Arnold was sent off in the 32^nd minute. Twenty minutes later Timm Klose was shown red too. Both players will sit out here. It must be said up until the point of the second sending off Wolfsburg actually looked pretty sharp. Hannover had to work hard for the points.

Schalke got underway with 3-3 at home against HSV. It was a very open game where both sides had many chances. The Royal Blues did show some character though as they came from behind twice. Coach Keller will be happy that Huntelaar showed great form, and Szalai impressed in his competitive debut. However, the important attacking midfielder Draxler took a knock and is at the time of writing still a doubt.

Wolfsburg vs Schalke: Run of Play

Last season Schalke beat Wolfsburg with three goals both home and away. In the home game Schalke were in full control. The away game was tighter than the 1-4 score line indicated. Wolfsburg has a very capable squad, and were definitely not counted out against Hannover until they got Klose sent off too. However; Schalke has the personnel to take this game to Wolfsburg, and with Timm Klose out of the central Wolfsburg defense the lives of the skillful Schalke attackers is made easier. WolfsburgI think Schalke will have at least 55% of the possession here.

Wolfsburg – Schalke betting tips for 1x2

Schalke has the best squad! Recent meetings between the sides indicate Schalke has a good grip on Wolfsburg. Add to that the miss of important Wolfsburg defender Klose and 2.35 (27/20) for Schalke at Bet365 looks more than useful.

Wolfsburg v Schalke betting tips for total goals

When Schalke is involved goal rich games are expected. The Royal Blues love to attack and sometimes get caught off guard at the rear like against HSV recently. Wolfsburg will try to stay compact and counter. During the game you just know they are going to get 2 against 1 or 3 against 2 etc. often against Schalke. I do definitely think Wolfsburg can get a goal here.

Bet365 offers 1.925 (23/25) for the Over 3 goals line. I like it a lot! If the game ends with four or more goals we win. If it ends with three we get our stake back. The over 2.5 goal line is 1.57 (4/7). It can be selected instead. Lower odds, but we win if it ends with three goals as well. Take it at Bet365, here!
