Schalke’s poor run in the last Bundesliga season relegated them to the German second division. They had an unimpressive start here too, recording two defeats and a win in their first three matches.
Meanwhile, Kiel had a good start and have maintained a winning run till their second fixture. However, the team lost 2-4 to Magdeburg in their third match, ending up a two-game winning run.

On the other side, Kiel is having a winning run on the road. The team won their last seven road trips in a row. It is worth noting that they have faced weaker opponents in most of those matches.

We therefore like to start with Schalke to win at 1.75 odds. While placing it as the main tip, we like to back the over 2.5 goals and both teams to score: no at 1.57 odds.
