Schalke v Hertha Berlin Tips

Schalke finished off a poor season with four defeats in a row. Hertha Berlin was solid, losing only one of their last nine, winning five.

#Schalke. The hosts have been decent in the last 5 meetings and won the last meeting 2-1. They also tied in the first meeting last season and should be able to win here on their own turf.

Schalke FC will lock their horns with Hertha Berlin FC today. These rivals seem to be the same in form at the moment as they both have solid defenses. They have conceded few goals from their previous games. So here, I bet the game to be a draw.

The previous 9 meetings in a row between these sides have all been Over +2.50 during recent history, as well as the last 6 matches in a row where Schalke were hosts.

Both teams have been on the scoresheet in 7 consecutive meetings between these sides during recent history, as well as in 5 matches in a row where Schalke were hosts.

Both Schalke and Hertha Berlin had poor campaigns in the German Bundesliga 2 last season, and another tough campaign is expected again this season. When these two sides last met, the game finished as a score draw, and another very close game looks likely again here. A score draw looks a solid bet in my opinion.

Hertha Berlin opens the 2nd Bundesliga return as they will play Schalke. They still have their forward Fabian Reese, who was a good player last season, and will be continuing with their wins in the first match. The home team is in their field and will get a goal, but Berlin wins.

#Schalke and yes. The hosts have been decent in the last 5 matches vs the travelers. They won 2-1 in the last meeting, and this is the first match of the season. Therefore, both should score.
