Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

Our top betting tip for Schalke 04 vs Fortuna Dusseldorf is to take under 9.5 corners on the corners market. We see great value in this market compared to more popular betting markets, which you can capitalise upon.

Our analysis shows a low likelihood of high-level attacking play between the two sides, so there is a strong chance that the under will come in well below the maximum of 9 corners needed to win the bet.

Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Schalke 04 and Fortuna Dusseldorf given their lack of goalscoring ability.

That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.
