13th placed Hertha welcome sixth placed Schalke to the Olympiastadion on Friday night to get this weekend’s Bundesliga off to a start. The home side have had a bumpy restart after the winter break, losing 0-4 at home to Bayern, but did beat Wolfsburg away thanks to two late goals last weekend. Schalke meanwhile were impressive in their 2-0 victory over Gladbach but were also on the wrong side of a Bayern hiding when they lost 5-0 away from home last weekend. Can either side take the three points here?
Hertha vs Schalke Betting Tips and Predictions: Hertha
Hertha’s home record isn’t great at all. They’ve won only one of their last five and, worst of all, failed to score in both of their most recent home matches in the league. Hertha’s home scoring record leaves a lot to be desired too, they’ve averaging just 1.22 goals per match and are conceding 2.0.
Hertha have a decent home record against Schalke though, over 39 previous meetings in both leagues they’ve won 22, there have been five draws and they’ve lost just 12. History is on their side, but form isn’t. Schalke at 2.64 are slight favourites.
Hertha vs Schalke Betting Tips and Predictions: Schalke
Schalke’s overall form is quite good, two wins, two draws and a loss over their last five Bundesliga matches, however, away from home, it’s not so good. They’ve won just two, drawn one and have lost two, we must add that they’re winless over their last three away matches. They’ll be hopeful of changing here, however against a Hertha side desperate for points to stay above the relegation fight going on below them they’re going to be in for a tough night.
Their away scoring record is decent, averaging 1.67 goals scored and 1.67 goals conceded.
