 Bielefeld - Schalke: Tips, prognosis and odds   - GERMANY: Bundesliga

April 20, 2021 could go down in history as the day on which FC Schalke 04 had to move into the second division after 30 years of uninterrupted membership in the Bundesliga. If the squires lose in the SchücoArena, with only four games remaining, the 13 point deficit on the relegation place could no longer be made up.

The Schalke team can certainly not be saved even with an away win in Bielefeld. But at least their catastrophic away streak could finally be slowed down. The Royal Blues have not won 25 Bundesliga away games across the seasons.

This contrasts with a fundamental form strength of the Ostwestfalen, which have not lost three games in a row and only conceded a single goal. Against this background, in our opinion, the greatest value at Bielefeld against Schalke is the tip on a low-goal game with a maximum of two goals. This overview shows where you can bet comfortably on the go: the best betting apps for sports betting.

Bielefeld - statistics & current form

Last summer, Arminia Bielefeld was promoted to the top floor of German football as the champion of the 2nd Bundesliga, quite surprisingly. That was remarkable because the Ostwestfalen had hardly anyone on their radar in the run-up to the season.

This made her final balance all the more impressive. The black-white-blue lost only two league games in the 2019/20 season. Nevertheless, the climber struggled a class higher and was practically deep in the relegation battle from the start.

Back on a non-relegation place

After the merits of the year of promotion, those responsible stuck to the promotion coach Uwe Neuhaus, who was then hit in the final spurt of the season. Frank Kramer took over and only seven league games later it has to be clearly stated that this external impulse brought the necessary turnaround.

Only two of these seven league games lost the Arminen, who climbed to a non-relegation place with nine out of 21 possible points at the weekend with a goalless draw in Augsburg. It is true that Hertha can push East Westphalia back to the relegation place with a win in the catch-up game. However, the quarantined capital city club is under pressure.

Only five goals conceded in the last seven league games

The Kramer-Elf have a correspondingly large chance of expanding their lead in the English Week. Of course, the only thing that counts against Schalke is the home win, which could once again lead to a stable defense.

There were only five goals conceded in the seven games under Frank Kramer, which at Bielefeld against Schalke reinforced our tip for a low-goal game. After all, there were only four own hits on the record on the credit side during this period. So little speaks for a gate fireworks in this NRW duel.

Schalke - statistics & current form

There was a small ray of hope for FC Schalke 04 on matchday 28, when the home game against FC Augsburg was won 1-0. The hopes that the Royal Blues could start again at the final sprint with a seemingly hopeless deficit then burst in all clear on Saturday in Freiburg.

The Gelsenkirchen team lost 4-0 in the Breisgau region and thus remained without a win in the 25th Bundesliga away game in a row across all seasons. The only question is actually when the relegation to the second class is sealed.

Dimitrios Grammozis on Sky

With currently 13 points, which are missing on the relegation place alone, the relegation can still be avoided mathematically. However, a defeat in Bielefeld would destroy any remaining hope for an absolute miracle.

The Schalke fans have to be prepared for a correspondingly difficult week. With the last defensive so compact Ostwestfalen it should be difficult to get a goal at all. Even Dimitrios Grammozis was ultimately unable to revive the miners' offensive. There are only 18 goals from 29 league games.

Only four points and 9:46 goals from 14 away games

In addition, the performance data of the Royal Blues are even more devastating on unfamiliar places. The Gelsenkirchen team only got four out of a possible 42 points in foreign places, where they scored just nine goals in 14 games, but had to accept an incredible 46 goals.

Betting base forecast & Germany Bielefeld - Schalke Germany tip

At Bielefeld against Schalke, the prognosis goes in the direction of the home side, who could seal the premature relegation of Gelsenkirchen on Tuesday evening. In view of the games against Mainz and Augsburg, in which the Schalke team did not concede a goal, the bottom can at least achieve a result like 0-0 in the SchücoArena. Or to put it another way: A courageous appearance by the royal blues can at least not be ruled out categorically and could break Tip 1 accordingly.

Free soccer picks

Accordingly, a bet on a match with few goals is clearly preferable to the three-way system. After all, not much has happened at Arminia since the coaching change with a total of 4-5 goals in the last seven league games. The Ostwestfalen also gave the fewest shots on goal of all 18 Bundesliga clubs.

Free soccer tips

We therefore bet on under 2.5 goals, for which Bielefeld vs. Schalke betting odds of 1.75 are available. We play these with six units at the bookmaker Betsson, which was tested by Wettbasis.
