Tiptotal under 3 goals

1.90

No one knows what to expect from Schalke in the new season. Club has just earned a promotion, so it might need some time to adapt for Bundesliga, opponents are much stronger here. The Billy Goats will surely have an advantage, but will they convert it into goals? The Miners will probably pick a cautious approach, because they want to avoid defeat in their first match back to Bundesliga.

Our prediction - total under 3 goals

Our second bet is on Schalke to win with a (+1) handicap
