VfL Osnabruck vs Schalke tips and predictions

2. Bundesliga match offers decent odds against VfL Osnabruck success

The total expected goals for this fixture is quite high so this could be entertaining.

It would be far-fetched to say the visiting team won't win but they cannot be tipped up at the prices available.

These away players by all accounts have too many tools in the box but it might not be as simple as that. The hosts have strung together 4 wins in their last 9 matches. With contrasting fortunes the travelling side has flattered to deceive at times. They've been defeated in 12 of their recent 19 matches on the road.

VfL Osnabruck have to get all thoughts of defeat out of their mind. Evidently primed for battle, the home side has been watertight in defence and they have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 home games. While the hosts have looked secure at the back, they're facing an outfit that has really had their resistance challenged. On the road Schalke have conceded three or more goals in 10 of their last 19 campaigns. And when opportunities have presented themselves, the visitors haven't looked unbeatable. They've scored one or less goals in 4 of their last 5 matches.

The sportsbooks are predicting both sides to get in on the act despite the favouritism for Schalke. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense.
