Hannover vs Schalke Prediction & Betting Tips (19 October)

Not only are Hannover unbeaten in 17 home matches at the top table of the 2. Bundesliga, but they have also emerged victorious from 14 of these contests, so confidence should be high heading into this encounter. The same cannot be said for Schalke on their travels, however, as they have lost four times in their last six games, as well as collecting ten points out of 25.

11 of the 14 top-flight matches involving Schalke this season had served up no more than five successful strikes. This has also been the case in all 15 games played by Hannover at this level during the current campaign, so there is no reason to expect this sequence to come to an end against these opponents.

Hannover are on a roll when it comes to hitting the back of the net in top-flight home games, doing so in each of their previous 16, though they have also conceded in 14 of these encounters. As for Schalke, they have scored in 14 matches on the bounce at this level, but their only clean sheet during this sequence came in a 1-0 home success.
