LiontipsBayer vs Schalke. Prediction and Betting Tips for Bundesliga
Command Analysis
Bayer got off to a slow start of the season, they were losing games in Bundesliga and in the Champions League. Xabi Alonso got appointed as team's new manager just a few days ago and he will try to improve team's performance.
A humiliating defeat to Bayern (0:4) and a Champions League loss to Porto (0:2) angered team's fans and board members. The Pharmacists find themselves in the relegation zone, but a win over Schalke could see them climbing up in the standings.
Schalke also had a poor season to the season, they are currently just one point above today's opponents. However, Frank Kramer's men don't look so badly on the pitch. After a victory over Bochum (3:1) the Miners took a narrow defeat from Borussia Dortmund (0:1) and went down to Augsburg in a close encounter (2:3).

Tip and bets
Bayer had an exhausting Champions League match this week, so players won't be fresh in the match against Schalke. The Pharmacists are looking terrible at the start of the season and the new head coach is unlikely to start his spell in the club with a victory.
Schalke had much more time to rest and prepare for the upcoming match. Visiting team has more chances for a win, but we offer to place a bet on a plus handicap, it is a more reliable option.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) for Schalke
Head-to-head matches between these teams are rarely high-scoring, plus both teams are in a precarious position, so opponents will probably take the defense as the main priority.
Our second bet is on total under three goals
