LiontipsSchalke - Kaiserslautern. Forecast (odds 2.11) and bets on the match of the German championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Schalke are going through hard times and have not yet been able to rise even to the top half of the Second Division standings, sitting in 13th place after 13 games played with 13 points scored. They are only two points above the relegation zone. The club play has improved a bit in recent games, as they have not lost three games in a row (two draws and a win). The problem is that the games were not with the strongest clubs in the league, and the upcoming opponent is in excellent shape.
Disqualifications and injuries
Antwi-Adjei and Mort will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not lost three games in a row
- Schalke have kept clean sheets in two of their last three matches
Probable line-up: Hofmann - Murkin, Sanchez, Kalas, Bulut - Seguin, Schallenberg, Gruger, Tempelmann - Younes, Sylla.
Current form
Since the beginning of the season, Kaiserslautern has improved significantly. In the last five rounds, the team has consistently gained points and was able to rise to ninth place in the standings. Ragnar Ache has shown himself to be brilliant in the winless series, scoring four goals and with eight goals scored, he is considered one of the strongest scorers in the Second Bundesliga.
The team currently has 20 points. The gap from third place is only two points, so, of course, in the upcoming match the guests will try to play for a win in order to rise even higher in the ranking.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hoyer, Clement, Ritter, Spahic, Zimmer and Zuck are all injured and will not appear on the pitch.
Interesting trends for betting
- Kaiserslautern have not lost in four games in a row.
- The team has conceded in four of its last five away games
Estimated line-up: Kralj - Ture, Sirch, Elvedt - Ronstadt, Afeez, Kleinhael - Kaloch, Jokota - Ahe, Hancilik.

1.73Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, both teams will be looking to take three points, which means the match should be productive. The hosts have scored in seven games in a row in front of local fans, while the visitors have failed to score in only one of the eight previous matches. Such results indicate that both teams will be able to score in 90 minutes of play. Moreover, in three of the last four face-to-face matches, such a bet was a success.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.54
Bet on the outcome
Bookmakers have made Schalke the favourites in the upcoming encounter. We agree with this assumption. The team plays well at home and usually scores a lot. Kaiserslautern is not famous for scoring a lot of goals on the road, and the team has lost three of its last five away games.
Our prediction is a Schalke win with odds of 2.11
Bet on corners
Schalke average four corners per game, while Kaiserslautern average 5.2. The numbers are low for both teams, so we don't expect a lot of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.75
