Karlsruhe SC vs Schalke 04 Betting Tips: Over 2.5 Goals / Karlsruhe to Win

Karlsruhe come into Friday's contest enjoying an excellent recent run of results which has seen then claim victory in four of five games played this season.

Currently second in the Bundesliga II, Christian Eichner´s side picked up 10 points from four games played including an excellent come-from-behind win at Eintracht Braunschweig last weekend.

Goals are usually on the cards when Karlsruhe are in action. Remarkably, at least three goals were scored in their last 15 home Bundeslig II games since September 2023. Eleven of their last 13 home games also saw BTTS, including each of their last five. 

Despite some defensive vulnerables, the hosts have enjoyed a fine winning record in front of their own fans, claiming ten wins while losing just two of those 15 high-scoring home fixtures.

Schalke make the trip to BBBank Wildpark looking to improve on an inconsistent start to the season which has seen them win one and lose two of four Bundesliga II games played. 

Like the home side, goals can usually be expected when Karel Geraerts' side are involved. Die Knappen saw over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven Bundesliga II games.

On the road, Schalke have a poor record, losing six and winning just one of their last ten away Bundesliga II fixtures. At least three goals were scored in three of their four most recent road contests.

Considering all of the above, over 2.5 goals looks a near-cert while I also expect Karlsruhe to maintain their fine form with another home victory.
