Schalke have gained good form - 11 points in the last 5 rounds, but the team is only in 13th place, 8 points behind the top-3, and 7 points away from the relegation zone, so it's too early to dream about returning to the Bundesliga, you have to be happy that the Pitmen are not in the relegation zone, as the team is not going through the best of times.
But Magdeburg are fighting for promotion in the division, the team is now in third place, trailing the leaders by just two points. But the fight for a place in the top-3 this season promises to be incredibly hard-fought, each round can decide everything. Magdeburg is the best team in the league in away games (even scoring almost 3 goals in 1 away game), but expect a goal from Schalke.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.47
