The second Bundesliga opens with two favourites fighting for promotion. Hamburg finished 3rd last season and played in the promotion play-offs, but lost to Stuttgart.
Schalke played in the Bundesliga last season, the team lacked only 2-3 points to keep their place.
There is no clear favourite today, but in head-to-head meetings the teams always exchange goals, as Schalke and Hamburg have an attacking style of play.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.51
