Wolfsburg v Schalke Betting Preview

Bet on Wolfsburg v Schalke with the best online betting odds at Pinnacle Sports!

VfL Wolfsburg entertaining Schalke 04 marks the start of this weekend’s Bundesliga action on Friday night. Both teams have registered a win and a draw so far in the 2015-16 Bundesliga season. But not just based on that shall anyone who bet on sports in the EU expect an even battle. History also shows that this is a well-balanced fixture with 10 Wolves victory, 14 draws and 12 Schalke wins from their previous 36 league games with a total score of 46-52.

However it wasn’t that even in recent years. Wolfsburg failed to win in their last three games against the Gelsenkirchen outfit. The headlines of the last days won’t help them either. They might miss two of their biggest assets, but there is still a chance for them to participate. Kevin de Bruyne is just about to complete his move to Manchester City, with Ivan Perisic is looking for a transfer to Inter. However they could count on Nicklas Bendtner who can be effective coming in from the bench. He has three goals so far this season for only 58 minutes spent on the pitch.

Schalke also has a lot of firepower thanks to their new 4-4-2 formation and the striking partnership of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Franco di Santo. The hosts weren’t too impressive in their first two league games this term, as many mobile betting players might remember. So, the Royal Blues might even hope for a win, though this one is expected to be a hard-fought clash. Schalke might need to conjure up some creativity in their midfield in order to overcome Wolfsburg.

It will be interesting to see, how much the probable departure of Perisic and especially De Bruyne will hurt the Wolves. If you feel that those two will fail to make the starting line-up, don’t hesitate to back Schalke with amazing online betting odds of 3.77 (277/100) at Pinnacle Sports. If De Bruyne is handed a start, which possibly will be his last for Wolfsburg this term, he is expected to give everything for his team and inspire his teammates. In that case, look for a draw at least, priced at 3.81 (281/100) by Pinnacle Sports, but backing Wolfsburg for online betting odds of 2.03 (103/100) wouldn’t be a reckless move either.
