In the 5th round in Bundesliga Werder Bremen will host Schalke.
Both teams made a very bad start of this season and they are still without win in Bundesliga.
After 3 draw matches in a row, Augsburg have managed to defeat Werder 4-2 last week, so this home match could be a good chance for Werder to make their first win upfront their supporters.
Home team have some unavailable players, but the most of them didn’t play at all this season. Zander (0/0 d), Bargfrede (0/0 m), Gebre Selassie (0/0 d), von Haacke (0/0 m) and Petersen (3/0 f) are all out.
I already wrote about Schalke’s problems before the match against Chelsea in Champions League. They are still without few very important players.
Giefer (0/0 gk), Felipe Santana (1/0 d), Höwedes (3/1 d), Kolasinac (1/0 d), K.P. Boateng (3/0 m), Draxler (4/1 m), Goretzka (0/0 m), Sobottka (0/0 m) and Farfan (0/0 m).
Despite very bad performance in Bundesliga, they have surprisingly managed to took one very valuable point at Stamford Bridge.
Schalke have very full schedule in all competitions in this period of the season and today’s match will be the 4th in the last 10 days, so it’s questionable how their players are ready for that.
However, both teams are playing very open football. This season both teams scored and conceded goals in the all matches in Bundesliga.
IMO, Werder Bremen is closer to take all three points, but the first betting option is over 2.5 goals.
Werder Bremen vs Schalke Betting Tip: over 2.5 goals @ 1.60 (Bet365)
