Competition: Bundesliga

Market: Under 3.5 goals

Odds: 8/13 @ 888sport

Desperate to widen their buffer over the drop zone in midweek, Hertha Berlin will make the trip to Schalke in what could be a cagey affair on Wednesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a woeful campaign, Schalke have long since confirmed their relegation down to the second-tier. In their 31 Bundesliga matchups so far this season, they have recorded just a pair of wins, seven draws and 22 defeats, scoring 20 and conceding 80 in return. Mustering themselves a points tally of 13 and still rooted at the foot of the table with a staggering 16-point deficit, it should also be noted that The Blues comfortably hold the worst-attacking record in the division. As for their recent run of results, Schalke have lost each of their last three Bundesliga contests on the spin and have recorded just a single win since the start of January. It should also be noted, Wednesday’s hosts have seen four of their last five fixtures on home soil finish with under 3.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, gaining a reputation as a real stalemate specialist during the back end of the campaign, Hertha Berlin still find themselves firmly looking over their shoulder at the drop zone. In their 31 Bundesliga matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, 10 draws and 14 defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 49 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 31, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in 14th and with just their goal difference stopping them from falling into the relegation play-off spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 draw against Arminia Bielefeld on home soil, Hertha Berlin have settled for a single point in four of their last five Bundesliga matchups. It should be highlighted, with 12 of their last 13 fixtures finishing with under 3.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
