Schalke vs Augsburg Betting Tips

Twenty-one-year old Schlake goalkeeper, Markus Schubert is probably the most responsible person for the latest defeat. In the previous round, Schalke played Revier derby in Dortmund. After the first forty-five minutes of play, Borussia already had a two-goal advantage. In the second part of the match, BvB scored two more times for the final 4-0. The aforementioned goalkeeper did not have a single successful intervention between the posts. Schalke is now occupying eighth place with nine wins, ten draws, and seven defeats. Their next rival is in horrible shape. In the previous round they were playing a home match against Wolfsburg. Visitors were the slightly better side in the first part of the match and when players went for a break, the result was 0-1.

Augsburg leveled the score in fifty-fourth minute and soon after, they scored once more but the referee denied that goal after consulting the VAR system. In the extra time, Wolfsburg found the inner strength to score a winning goal 1-2. With four defeats in a row, Augsburg is sinking towards the relegation zone and it will not be an easy task to snatch even single point against Schalke that desperately needs to redeem to their fans after the disaster in a derby match.

Schalke has more than a few injured players. Amine Harit picked up medial collateral ligament injury and nobody is sure when he will be back due to seriousness of that injury. Omar Mascarell is recovering from a groin injury and there is a chance that he will be ready to help his teammates in the last few rounds of this season. Benjamin Stambouli broke his foot in late October last year and he should be ready to play until the end of May.

Augsburg Latest News

Andre Hahn, one of the best players in Augsburg is out with tendon injury and club doctors do not wish to give premature prognosis about the time of his return to the field. Simon Asta has an ACL injury since mid-November 2019 and recovery is going slowly. Most likely we won’t be seeing him until the beginning of the new season. Fabian Giefer still feels the pain in his back and as things stand right now, he will skip the duel with Schalke.

Schalke vs Augsburg Correct Score Prediction

Since the beginning of the second part of the season, the team from Gelsenkirchen recorded only one victory and that happened in mid-January. After that victory, Schalke collected only four points of possible twenty-four. The team from Gelsenkirchen scores way more often in the second part of the match than they do it in the first forty-five minutes of play. The truth is that they failed to score in six of their last eight matches! Augsburg is even worse on that matter. In the last four away matches they slipped to score but they managed to concede eleven times. Five away defeats in a row do not bring optimism ahead of the clash with Schalke. Schalke won four of their last six home encounters with Augsburg and although they are not in the best shape we give them a slight advantage.
