Schalke vs Hannover 96 Betting Tips - BTTS

Schalke come into Friday's Bundesliga matchup with pressure eased after back-to-back league victories picked up in the past fortnight. After a hard-fought 1:0 win against Preußen Münster a fortnight ago, Die Knappen claimed only their fourth road victory of the campaign with a 2:1 success at Hertha last weekend. 

Kees van Wonderen´s side now find themselves ten points clear of the drop zone, with only nine games remaining in the campaign. 

Usually a reliable choice in the goal markets, BTTS has been a frequent outcome for the home side, particularly at VELTINS- Arena. Five of their last six home fixtures saw both sides get on the scoresheet. 

Hannover return to action this weekend now unbeaten in nine Bundesliga II after a 1:1 draw with Eintracht Braunschweig. While the visitors have proven tough to beat, an inability to turn draws into wins has dented their promotion hopes. André Breitenreite´s side have been held in seven of those unbeaten fixtures.

Currently seventh in the division, six points ahead of 11th placed Schalke, Die Roten find themselves four points short of the promotion playoff spot. 

Similar to the home side, BTTS has proven a reliable choice in Hannover´s recent fixtures. Six of their last seven games saw both teams get on the scoresheet. 

Previous encounters between these sides also suggest that goals can be expected this weekend. Each of  their last five meetings at this venue saw both teams net. 

BTTS is my best bet for Friday's Bundesliga II battle at VELTINS-Arena.
