Command Analysis

Bayer Leverkusen

Germany

Bayer got off to a slow start of the season, they were losing games in Bundesliga and in the Champions League. Xabi Alonso got appointed as team's new manager just a few days ago and he will try to improve team's performance.

A humiliating defeat to Bayern (0:4) and a Champions League loss to Porto (0:2) angered team's fans and board members. The Pharmacists find themselves in the relegation zone, but a win over Schalke could see them climbing up in the standings.

Schalke 04

Germany

Schalke also had a poor season to the season, they are currently just one point above today's opponents. However, Frank Kramer's men don't look so badly on the pitch. After a victory over Bochum (3:1) the Miners took a narrow defeat from Borussia Dortmund (0:1) and went down to Augsburg in a close encounter (2:3).

Tip and bets

2.07Handicap (+1) for Schalke

Bayer had an exhausting Champions League match this week, so players won't be fresh in the match against Schalke. The Pharmacists are looking terrible at the start of the season and the new head coach is unlikely to start his spell in the club with a victory.

Schalke had much more time to rest and prepare for the upcoming match. Visiting team has more chances for a win, but we offer to place a bet on a plus handicap, it is a more reliable option.
