Schalke 04 vs Bochum Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 10th September 2022

The Bundesliga tie at VELTINS-Arena this coming Saturday sees home team Schalke 04 up against Bochum. Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 2-2 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Saturday.
Looking at the current standings in the Bundesliga, the two teams are separated by three points.
Although only separated by a few points, Bochum will have their work cut out for them on Saturday. Schalke 04 are favoured to maintain the lead they currently hold on Bochum in the Bundesliga standings.
Schalke 04 scored 12 goals, conceded 23 and fought their way to one clean sheet in their previous ten matches.
Bochum scored 11 goals, conceded 27 and managed zero clean sheets in their previous ten matches.
Schalke 04 vs Bochum Prediction
Schalke 04 failed to win any of their last three matches, though they gained a point against Wolfsburg in a 0-0 draw, before coming up short against Union Berlin in a 1-6 defeat. Most recently, they settled for a 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart. Schalke 04 claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. They also drew one and lost three, scored nine goals and conceded 16.
Hoping for a campaign without too much hazzle, recent performances suggests Schalke 04 could be dragged into a relegation-battle.
Bochum lost their previous three matches by 0-7 against Bayern München, 1-0 against Freiburg and 0-2 against Werder Bremen. Bochum won twice, while also recording zero draws, and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Bundesliga. The scoreline from these matches says 14 goals conceded and ten scored.
Bochum were hoping to avoid relegation this season, but their current dismal form has them on course for going down.
The crowd usually get a very entertaining encounter, when Schalke 04 face Bochum, and we see no reason for this to end this coming Saturday. The value bet lies with goals.
