Command Analysis

Eintracht Braunschweig

Current form
Eintracht is playing as expected at the start of the season. Many analysts predicted that the team would be relegated from the Second Bundesliga, and so far everything is going according to this scenario. After 17 matches played with 13 points scored, the club is in the penultimate line of the ranking, ahead of the last team by only two points. At the same time, not all is lost for Daniel Schering charges, because the team is only one point behind Ulm, which is in the play-off zone, and three behind Preussen Munster, which is in the safe zone. The handicap seems small, but given that Eintracht took only one point in the last five rounds, it will not be so easy to win it back.
Disqualifications and injuries
Polster, Casali, Sane and Tauer are injured, while Conteh is disqualified.
Interesting trends for betting
- Eintracht have won their last two matches
- The hosts have conceded in the last five matches
Tentative line-up: Johansson - Jekel Bicakcic, Ehlers - Kaufmann, Krausse, Kohler, Bell, Philippe - Gomez, Polter.

Schalke 04

Current form
Schalke are in full swing. The visitors have not lost in five matches in a row - four wins and one draw. If Kees van der Lehn charges had played like this since the beginning of the season, they would not be fighting for survival now, being in 13th place in the standings. The 56-year-old Dutch specialist took charge of the team at the beginning of October last year, and the results went up. In October, there was a grinding in and a search for the optimal lineup, but from the first of November, the team started playing well. In 2.5 months, nine matches were played, in which they managed to win five times, there were three draws and one defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mor and Younes will be out due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not lost five games in a row
- The visitors have conceded in six of their last seven matches
Probable line-up: Hofmann - Murkin, Sanchez, Kalas, Bulut - Seguin, Schallenberg, Gruger, Tempelmann - Younes, Sylla.

1.78Tip and bets
Schalke are in better playing form than Eintracht. The Gelsenkirchen team seems to have found its game and have scored at least three goals per game in the last three matches. The hosts also won the last two matches, but they were against Energie (4:2), which plays in the Third Bundesliga, and the reserves of St. Pauli (2:1). The upcoming opponent is much more dangerous, and, as we believe, even on their home field, Daniel Schering protégés will be powerless against the miners.
Our prediction is a Schalke win with odds of 2.11
Bet on total
Eintracht Braunschweig have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six games, while Schalke have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches. At Eintracht stadium, the teams are also keeping the fans busy, as they have managed to score in three of their last four games. All of this suggests that there will be no zeros on the scoreboard again.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.55
Bet on corners
Based on how well Schalke have started to play recently, we come to the conclusion that it is the visitors who will make more corner kicks. We will place another bet on this event.
Our prediction is that Schalke will take more corners with odds of 1.75
