Schalke 04 Augsburg betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 18^th position of the league, with 10 points won, after 1 win, 7 draws and 19 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Borussia M'gladbach, by (0‑3). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Bayer Leverkusen, by (2‑1). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses at their stadium. For the league, Schalke 04 won 4 points out of 30 possible points, after 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑1 (5 out of 14 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 3 of the last 27 matches for the Bundesliga, they have reached half‑time in advantage in all of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. They have conceded the first goal in 22 of their 27 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Schalke 04 arrives for this game with a 2-1 defeat at Leverkusen, registering the third defeat in this Bundesliga: the only goal of the team was signed by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. In this match against Augsburg, manager Dimitrios Grammozis should make a very offensive team, lines up in 3-5-2, with Matthew Hoppe and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar being the most offensive references. Still, it is important to note that one of the weakest points of Schalke 04 is in the defensive sector. For this match the coach won't count on Matija Nastasic, Hamza Mendyl, Steven Skrzybski, Nassim Boujellab, Kilian Ludewig and Nabil Bentaleb, players who are recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Ralf Fährmann, Benjamin Stambouli, Bastian Oczipka, Timo Becker, Omar Mascarell, Suat Serdar, Malick Thiaw, Amine Harit, Can Bozdogan, Mehmet-Can Aydin, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Coach: K. Geraerts.
