Schalke vs Preussen Muenster Betting Tips - BTTS/Over 2.5 Goals
Schalke come into Friday's crucial Bundesliga matchup with pressure beginning to mount following another defeat last weekend. A 2:0 defeat at Darmstadt leaves the Royal Blues down in 13th, only six points above the drop zone.
After enjoying a five-game unbeaten run between December and January, Kees van Wonderen´s side have since lost three of four matches played in February, while they have only managed to win three of their last ten home fixtures.
A more reliable choice in the goal markets, 11 of Schalke´s last 13 home fixtures saw both teams score. An average of 4.4 goals have been scored in their ten most recent league matches at VELTINS-Arena.
Preussen Muenster returns to Bundesliga II action on Friday in high spirits after a 2:0 win against fellow strugglers Jahn Regensburg last weekend. Sascha Hildmann´s side had failed to win each of their four previous league fixtures.
Like Schalke, high-scoring outcomes have been frequent for the visitors. Seven of their last nine road games saw both teams score while six of their nine previous league fixtures saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored.
Ultimately, while neither side has shown much winning form in recent weeks, goals look likely in Friday´s Bundesliga II contest.
BTTS is my primary pick, and I also like the chances of three goals or more at VELTINS-Arena.
