Odds on this fixture represent great value to us, bookies look to be focusing too much of league position and less on Schalke’s resurgence within the division. A 1-0 loss to Leverkusen means nothing in the grand scheme of things, and reflects little on form as the away fixture followed a tough European win over Portugal’s Sporting CP. The hosts have lost just 1 of their last 16 at home in the Bundesliga, with Huntelaar and Draxler back to scoring ways they should be good for at least a point today. Augsburg are nothing special on the road and have actually never beaten Schalke, this won’t be a comfortable game but it’s one we shouldn’t lose.

Al Arabi may not be performing at their best so far but if there’s one thing we can always rely on, it’s that they’ll score away from home. It’s surprising to see a team perform better away from their home crowd, but 1 defeat in 11 proves just that. Lekhwiya are among the favourites for the title this season but slip ups are costing them, they head into this off a 1-1 draw with mediocre side Umm Salal and really need to pick up points here and close any gaps at the top. History between the sides is important here, it shows all of the last five meetings ended with over 3.5 goals, the most recent three actually ending with over 4.5. Both sides look good for a goal today, we wouldn't however bet against the hosts grabbing a win.
We have looked at multiple markets for this fixture and have finally decided on the second half result. We are expecting a fairly comfortable win for the home side as the host a struggling, out of form Al Shahaniya side. History shows some huge wins for El Jaish in recent years including 9-0, 7-0 and 6-1 results. We like the look of a handicap win here and while a half time result was the original tip it seems the hosts don’t look to hit hard from the off, instead waiting until after the break to reach full force.
Genk have only lost once this season and are a real tough side to breakdown. Zulte are in a bad run of form at present and haven’t won in 11 games. They we’re winning against Standard Liege in their match 2 weeks ago that got suspended. This fixture in April finished 2-2 when Zulte were in much better form. Genk have a solid defence at present that kept our league leaders Anderlecht earlier this month. I strongly believe if they take the lead tonight they will not lose this game. They have more than enough quality to shut an opponent out. We expect a low scoring match this evening.
7th place Atletico GO will be looking to feast on a beaten and down Vila Nova today, a side who head into this sitting in the relegation zone off a big 5-1 loss to Santa Cruz. There are 6 games remaining in this campaign, Atletico are just 3 points adrift of the final promotion spot, and being one of the in-form sides will be among the favorites to attain it in the closing weeks, a win today is vital. 12 points between them and safety means that avoiding the drop is all but out of reach at this point, they are poor travelers and have even lost the last two meetings between the sides, both were at home. The hosts will hit hard from the off, Vila Nova have been conceding at an alarming rate, half of all goals conceded so far coming in the opening 45 minutes of fixtures.
Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv have only lost once this season at home to top of the league Ironi Kiryat Gat and dropped points in a draw to second in the table Hapoel Kfar Saba. They have been resolute at home and scoring plenty of goals. Today’s opponents have the worst goal difference in the league and have only picked up one win on the road to Jerusalem who are hovering at the bottom of the division with them. Hakoah Ramat Gan have only picked up 2 wins on the road in their last 15 matches. Beni Yehuda won their last 2 home fixtures to nil scoring 7 goals.
Union Berlin have only failed to score at home once in their last 13 league fixtures and welcome Greuther Furth tonight who don’t keep many clean sheets at all on the road and concede on average just under 2 goals a game. We think there is a great chance both sides will score this evening but are a lot more confident on the home side getting on the score sheet. Union Berlin are yet to score a goal in the first half of a game this season so expect this selection to land in the second half.
