Bayern Munich 6/4 to beat Schalke to nil in Tuesday’s DFP Pokal tie

Competition: DFP Pokal

Market: Bayern Munich win to nil

Odds: 6/4 @ Bet 365

Looking to extend on what has been a stunning run of form, Bayern Munich will make the trip to a struggling Schalke in the DFP Pokal on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, despite their bright start to the season, Schalke have continued on what has been a worrying run of form. In their 24 Bundesliga matches this year, they have recorded nine wins, nine draws, and six defeats, scoring 32 and conceding 35 in return. While the Blues might still find themselves in the European race, Schalke have begun to show some real issues, particularly in the final third. Hit with back-to-back defeats, Tuesday’s hosts have failed to win any of their last seven matches across all competitions within 90 minutes and even more worrying, Schalke have failed to find the net in their last three matches on the bounce.

As for the visitors, continuing on what has been a remarkable run of form, Bayern Munich have their sights set on completing a silverware sweep this season. Suffering just four Bundesliga defeats all season, they hold a three-point buffer at the top of the table and also hold both the best-attacking and defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, Bayern have won their last four matches across all competitions and are enjoying a stellar 12-match unbeaten run. Along with now recording nine goals in back-to-back victories, it should also be noted that Tuesday’s guests have recorded back-to-back clean sheets on the road. Given the recent gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing a comfortable home victory in midweek.
