Bochum vs Schalke Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in German Bundesliga on Saturday, 4 March 2023.
Schalke might be placed bottom-most in the table, but take note that they are one of the two teams to stay unbeaten in the past five game weeks in the league, along with Dortmund.
And a game against the second-last placed Bochum could not have come at a better time. They are on a long stretch of poor performances, and are possibly the worst in the competition at the moment.
The reverse fixture ended in a 3-1 win for Schalke, and since 2009, they have a perfect winning record barring a single draw. And at this venue, the guests have a perfect winning record in the past two decades, barring just three games.
Schalke are unbeaten in the last five games in the German top flight, and Dortmund are the only other team to have managed that feat. The former also have a phenomenal h2h record over the past two decades, against their counterparts for the day.
And Bochum are placed 17th in a table of 18, and are on a four-game losing streak – conceding ten goals in the process.
Count on Schalke to emerge victorious this weekend.
Bochum let in 19 goals from their last seven fixtures, and they have a single clean sheet at home in all competitions since April of 2022. They also let in two or more goals in 100% of h2h clashes since 2009.
As such, a high-scoring game is expected at the Ruhrstadion.
Schalke conceded a single goal in their last five games, and they kept clean sheets in five of the past eight h2h meetings. The struggling Bochum have minimal chances of finding the back of the net this Saturday.
Schalke remained unbeaten in the past five games in the Bundesliga – a feat only repeated by Dortmund. They also have a perfect winning record in h2h clashes since 2009, barring a single draw.
On the other hand, Bochum are on a four-fixture losing streak, and lost six of their past seven games as well.
As such, Schalke to Win at 2.40 odd looks like a promising wager this Saturday.
Going on, Bochum conceded 19 goals from their past seven fixtures, and let in two or more goals in 100% of their h2h meetings since 2009.
Schalke are counted upon to slot in at least two goals against them at the Ruhrstadion, and the odds for the same are placed at 2.60.
