The 2nd tier in Germany has been a happy hunting ground for us on many occasions, with this league absolutely teeming with goals.

This is a big clash at the bottom end, Schalke currently occupy the relegation play-off spot, whilst Osnabruck find themselves stone dead last.

No side in the league averages more match goals thank Schalke, with 4 per game.

In their 14 games this season, they’ve managed just 1 clean sheet with a huge 79% of their games having 3 or more goals.

Osnabruck matches average 3.26 goals, with 57% having 3 or more and they’re yet to keep a single clean sheet.

On the road, their numbers climb even higher with an average of 3.83 match goals and 67% landing for over 2.5.

Schalke are definitely the better side here, not just on legaue position; but there is a lot of quality in there side, with plenty of Bundesliga level individuals.

Sebastian Polter and Simon Terrode are serial goalscorers across their careers in Germany, and the likes of Tomas Kalas and Thomas Ouwejan are more than capable of a step up.

Basically this squad is too good to be where it is, and if they click, they could easily cover the 2.5 on their own.

They’ve netted 9 times in their last 4 league matches.

Schalke tend to operate a 3 at the back system, with wing backs providing width.

The big physical presence of Terrode and Polter, leands itself towards plenty of deliveries in to the box and plenty of corners being forced.

That’s especially true at home, on such a big pitch with 60,000 fans pushing them on.

Schalke average a hefty 7.17 corners taken at home this season, and have had 4+ in 83% of their games and they haven’t dropped below 3 in any home game this campaign.

Osnabruck will be on the back foot for extended periods, and they do ship plenty of corners.

On average, they concede 6.93 per match.

They’ve conceded 4 or more in every single away game they’ve played this season. So let’s hope that continues.
