LiontipsUlm vs Schalke. Prediction and bets on the match of the Second Bundesliga
Command Analysis
Current form
Ulm won the Third League last season, ahead of their closest competitor, Preußen, by ten points. In their first season in the Second Bundesliga, they are unlikely to fight for anything more serious than staying in the league. So far, the hosts have managed to stay out of the relegation zone. The club is in 14th place in the standings and is only ahead of Eintracht Braunschweig, who are in the play-off zone, by additional indicators. In the last round, the team managed to hold on to a draw against Darmstadt 98 (1:1). Before that, the team suffered defeats from Cologne (0:2) and Karlsruhe (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Aleksandar Kahvic, Christian Ortag and Johannes Reichert will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have been shown red cards in three of their last seven matches
- Ulm have failed to win a single game in their last four matches.
Probable lineup : Tiede - Geyer, Strompf, Kolbe - Meyer, Hirilyainen, Brandt, Resch - Kessa, Keller - Higl
Current form
Schalke used to thunder in European competitions and was one of the most attractive clubs in the Bundesliga, but now the team is going through hard times and cannot even rise to the top half of the table in the second division. Now the visitors are very close to the relegation zone, one step away from the danger zone. At the same time, the club from Gelsenkirchen managed to score 19 goals in 10 matches and is the most productive team in the lower half of the table. However, this does not help the Gelsenkirchen team in recent matches. After a draw with Hertha (2:2), Kees van Wonderen charges lost to Hannover (0:1) and Greuther Fürth (3:4), and also flew out of the German Cup, losing to a representative of the Bundesliga, Augsburg (0:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Christopher Antwi-Adjei and Vitali Becker will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team lost three matches in a row
- The visitors have not been able to win in five matches in a row
Probable lineup : Hofmann - Murkin, Sanchez, Kalas, Bulut - Seguin, Schallenberg, Gruger, Tempelmann - Younes, Sylla

1.63Tip and bets
The hosts have recently managed to win two victories in a row, and in principle the newcomer is quite regularly gaining points in matches with teams of a comparable class. The visitors fail too often, especially in the last rounds. We do not think that Schalke will be able to win away, after all, Ulm is a rather combative team and does not allow anyone to easily gain points.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Ulm for 1.80
Bet on total
Schalke played a cup match just two days ago and it is not a fact that the players will have time to recover in such a short time. Fatigue will clearly affect the guests' game, so it is unlikely that there will be a goal extravaganza this time. The hosts are trying to play carefully and will probably focus on defense. We believe that the bet on the total under should play this time.
Bet - total under 2.5 goals. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
We don't expect any sparkling play from our opponents in this match, so we probably won't be able to earn many corners.
Bet - total under 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.70
