Command Analysis

Schalke 04

Current form
Schalke were probably hoping to fight for promotion, although they are inferior to many of their opponents in terms of player selection. Karel Geraerts' team has had a dismal start to the championship and is currently only in 13th place in the table, two points clear of the play-off zone. Having lost 0:2 to Karlsruher in the last round, Schalke suffered their second defeat in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Peter Remmert and Ralf Fahrmann are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Schalke have lost their last two matches

Probable line-up : Heekeren - Ganstenbein, Wasinski, Sanchez, Murkin - Bachmann, Schallenberg, Sylla, Younes, Mohr - Karaman.

Darmstadt

Current form
Before the start of the season, Darmstadt was also among the teams capable of fighting for promotion, but, like its opponent today, it has had a poor start. After five rounds, Florian Kohfeldt's team is in 16th place in the table with two points and is only one point clear of the relegation zone. Having drawn 1:1 with Eintracht Braunschweig in the last round, Darmstadt extended its winless streak to five matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Matthias Bader, Paul Will and Fabian Holland are injured.

2.27Tip and bets
Schalke will clearly be aiming for victory in the home match against their table neighbour and will certainly play aggressively from the first minutes. The Miners, despite not being in the best shape, do not have any particular problems in attack and Darmstadt's defence should not be a problem for them. At the same time, the visitors also need points like air, in the last four matches between the clubs no fewer than three goals have been scored, and the tradition will certainly continue.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Schalke traditionally scores most of its points in home games and today will clearly strive to break the losing streak and break away from the danger zone. The miners are quite capable of getting three points - Darmstadt looks frankly weak at the start of the season, makes a lot of mistakes in defense and is inferior even to today's Schalke in terms of play, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.
Bet - Schalke win. This bet is offered for 1.79
Bet on corners
Schalke are the favourites and will certainly play first – the home team should win confidently on corners.
