Bamberg vs Schalding tips and predictions

All outcomes in with a shout in even Regionalliga Bayern encounter

Hold on, wait a minute, if you think this is a formality. Instinct says the home win is the pick but if they're not at the races then who knows. Nevertheless, they're picked to come through.

Whether it's important or not Bamberg might have reasons to be confident about adding to Schalding's recent defeats. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 11 losses from their last 15 away trips. This doesn't look like the recent record of a team that will fancy their chances.

The hosts are putting together some decent passages of play and they've looked energised. Bamberg have scored at least once in 4 of their recent 5 matches and they have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 18 home games.

Schalding can sometimes lose their shape on the road. They've conceded three or more goals in 9 of their last 17 away matches. To add to their woes, goals are conspicuous by their absence. The attacking form shown by the visitors has been short of quality. They averaged just 0.8 goals in their last 20 matches.

Don't be surprised to see these sides ending up in deadlock though. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value this time around.
