Köln vs Schalke 04 Betting Tips

These are our top betting tips and predictions for the match.

👉 Our prediction is: Köln to score first

Köln is the big favourite to beat Schalke 04 for a reason. Their performances overall have been excellent, and their home form has been particularly strong.

But if you’re looking for an added boost of value, our big betting tip is to take Köln to score first. Their attack has been prolific at Cologne Stadium (Köln), and with their defence also looking so solid of late, they are the most likely the first - and possibly only - team to score in this match.

👉 Our prediction is: Köln to win

Köln vs Schalke 04 has all the makings of a competitive battle between two sides that are both eyeing an important win. But we are ever so slightly leaning toward Köln to win on the 1X2 market.

Köln will enjoy home advantage, which they have capitalised on with their strong form at Cologne Stadium (Köln). They remain good value to win with their odds, and we expect them to pay out those odds with all three points at home.
