Schalke 4/7 to beat Hamburg in Sunday’s Bundesliga encounter

Competition: Bundesliga

Market: Schalke to beat Hamburg

Odds: 4/7 @ Bet365

Germany’s top league is back this weekend with a number of very interesting games to come. The international break saw Germany play in two friendlies as they had already qualified for the World Cup in Russia, so the fans will be pleased to see the return of truly competitive football this weekend. With this in mind, Schalke host Hamburg on Sunday.

Schalke have been in superb form this season and they look like one of the best sides in the league. Six wins, two draws and three defeats means they have collected 20 points so far, while their last five games have seen them win three times and draw twice. With Borussia Dortmund losing on Friday, Schalke can leapfrog them into third place with a win. With 12 points between themselves and Freiburg in 16th, they can begin to turn their attention to finishing in the European places this campaign, with safety obviously their main objective.

Hamburg, on the other hand, have been struggling massively. 10 points from their 11 games is a worryingly low total, while they have won just one game in their last five, although that victory came in their last match. Three wins and one draw have not been able to supplement the fact they have lost seven times this season, while they have conceded 18 goals in their 11 games, showing they are weak at the back. With this in mind, we are backing Schalke to win with odds of 4/7 from Bet365.
