Schalke vs Bayer Leverkusen match preview for the Bundesliga fixture, written by experienced sports betting expert.
Schalke
Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen are playing against Schalke 04 in search of their first away win in the Bundesliga since October 28 2018. The Factory Eleven are on position 11 in the standings, with three more points than their opponent in this match. During the weekend Bayer Leverkusen have lost in an away game versus Eintracht Frankfurt with 2-1 with the second half going entirely under the control of the hosts and the loss could have been even more expressive.
Schalke 04 also don’t perform well this season and deservingly are on 13th position in the standings. Over the weekend, The Miners played versus Augsburg in an away match that ended as a 1-1 draw, although they deserved to lose after a solid performance in the first half from the hosts. At home, Schalke are playing slightly better and have won three from the previous five games on Veltins Arena.
The game on Wednesday is crucial for both teams. Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen significantly behind the sixth in the standings – Hoffenheim, and if they want to have a chance to play in Europe next season, both teams have to improve their performance in defence. The defensive problems that both sides have is an ideal opportunity to take advantage of the good odds for both teams to score in this match. Bet of BTTS has been a success in the previous four games of Schalke, and in three of the last four away games of Bayer Leverkusen. I will back Both Teams to Score, with Schalke 2-1 Correct Score.
