Borussia M'gladbach Schalke 04 betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This confrontation marks the meeting between two teams that have been doing very similar campaigns so far within the German Championship, not having performed well. However, in the Europe League the performance of Schalke 04 is much better, since they lost only one of the nine matches they played, while their opponent lost one of three, as they entered the competition at a later stage. Borussia Mönchengladbach are also well-known for striking balls and defensive air balls, while Schalke 04 show their efficiency on parched balls and also attacks on the wings, but their defense is poor when attacked by the wings. Thus, we expect a balanced game, as was the first, being the tie a good betting option, but with the favoritism for the home team.

Preview
Borussia M'gladbach and Schalke 04 meet at Stadion im BORUSSIA‑PARK, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Europa League (8th Finals). These two teams tied (1‑1) in the 1st leg match. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 04‑03‑2017, in a match for the Bundesliga, Borussia M'gladbach won by (4‑2). The goals of the match were scored by F. Johnson (28' and 64' ), O. Wendt (67' ) and Raffael (76' ), for Borussia M'gladbach, and by N. Bentaleb (38' ) and L. Goretzka (82' ), for Schalke 04. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis M'gladbach

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with the advantage of the away draw by (1‑1), so all they need is a tie for under 1 goal to stay ahead in the aggregate result. 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 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away loss against Hamburger SV by (2‑1). Borussia M'gladbach has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 40 of the last 57 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In the last 5 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90') and 4 of their 8 goals between (61'‑75').

Borussia Mönchengladbach returns to play at home in the Europe League after two straight away from their fans, trying to return to the good performance that was presenting, when it got to accumulate four consecutive victories, considering all the competitions that it contests. The team should enter the field less pressed than the opponent, since managed to score a goal in the away tie of the home for the first leg. In the German Championship the team occupies the ninth position in the table. Their last participation in this continental tournament occurred in the season of 2014/2015, when they were eliminated by Sevilla before the eighth of end. For this match, the coach should keep the team in the 4-2-3-1 or in the 4-2-2-2, especially Hofmann in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: Yann Sommer, Tony Jantschke, Oscar Wendt, Andreas Christensen, Jannik Vestergaard, Christoph Kramer, Mahmoud Dahoud, Fabian Johnson, Patrick Herrmann, Raffael, Josip Drmić.

Analysis Schalke 04

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match in disadvantage, since despite the 1st leg draw they have conceded 1 goal at home. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 9 conceded. In their last match, for the Bundesliga, they got a home win against Augsburg by (3‑0). In the last 4 UEFA Europa League away matches Schalke 04 has a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 7 of the last 9 matches for the UEFA Europa League, they have reached half‑time in front in 5 of those 7 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 6 of them. In the last 7 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Schalke 04 is on the pitch for their tenth match in the Europe League after playing at home in the last two matches for the continental tournament, and now comes from another match against their fans, valid for the German Championship. The team must feel the pressure for not having built a good advantage when they played at home in the first leg, and now need to look for the result. The club occupies only eleventh place in the German Championship, which shows that it has not been having a good season. Last year, the team was eliminated from the Europe League by Shakhtar Donetsk before the round of 16. For that match, the coach should keep the team in the 4-2-3-1, highlighting Burgstaller, who scored three goals in the last two games of the club.

Confirmed Lineup: Ralf Fährmann, Thilo Kehrer, Sead Kolašinac, Benedikt Höwedes, Matija Nastasić, Nabil Bentaleb, Daniel Caligiuri, Johannes Geis, Leon Goretzka, Guido Burgstaller, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
