Schalke 13/10 to beat Heidenheim in Friday’s Bundesliga II battle

Competition: Bundesliga II

Market: Schalke win

Odds: 13/10 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on what has been a real purple patch on either side of the international break, Schalke will make the trip to Heidenheim on Friday evening.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing to show a host of issues throughout their October run, Heidenheim find themselves in the midst of what has been a recent worrying patch. In their 11 Bundesliga II matchups so far this season, they have recorded four wins, three draws and four defeats, scoring 12 and conceding 17 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 15, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 11th in the standings and with just their goal difference keeping them outside the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 4-0 drumming away at Nurnberg, Heidenheim have lost each of their last three Bundesliga II matchups. Likewise, along with shipping over 2.5 goals in each of those three defeats, it should have been noted that Friday’s hosts were last seen on home soil getting hit with a 4-2 loss against St. Pauli.

As for the visitors, enjoying what has been a real purple patch on either side of the international break, Schalke have their sights set on securing an immediate top-flight return. In their 11 Bundesliga II matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, one draw and three defeats, scoring 20 and conceding 11 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, the Blues open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the table and with just their goal difference keeping them outside the automatic promotion spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen landing a 3-0 win against Dresden on home soil, Schalke have won each of their last five matchups across all formats. Given the huge recent gulf in class between Friday’s opponents, an away win here appears at attractive odds.
