Sunday sees three fascinating matches in the Bundesliga 2. The first of our previews focuses on a huge clash between two giants of German football as Dusseldorf take on Schalke. Schalke are nicely positioned in the league in 5th spot, only one point off the promotion playoff places. Dusseldorf has had a tough season and find themselves in the dreaded bottom three. A small three-point gap has emerged between them and the teams above them and they will be desperate to start bridging that gap to avoid the threat of relegation.

Match Result

It's Schalke that head into this match in much better form than their opponents. Schalke currently sit in second place in the form table having taken eleven points from the last fifteen available. A win that has seen them win three and draw two of their last five league matches. They come up against a Dusseldorf side who are woefully out of form with the relegation-threatened side only taking one point from the last possible fifteen. Goal scoring has been the problem as Dusseldorf have only found the back of the net in one of their last five matches. Schalke are the deserved favourites ahead of this match and odds of 5/4 for the victory looks like a bet we want to back.

Schalke over 1.5 goals

Schalke have been able to find the back of the net in their last five away games and have scored at least two in five of these games. They come up against a Dusseldorf side who have struggled to keep clean sheets at home and have conceded at least one goal in their last five home matches. Schalke are amongst the highest away scorers in the league and we really like the look of Schalke to score over 1.5 goals in this match

Schalke to keep a clean sheet

Schalke have only been able to keep two clean sheets in their last seven away games, however, they come up against a Dusseldorf side here who are woefully short of goals. Dusseldorf has only been able to find the back of the net once in their last five league games. Dusseldorf is amongst the lowest scorers in the league, whilst Schalke has the best defensive record in the league. We really like the look of Schalke to keep a clean sheet and inflict more pain on a poor struggling Dusseldorf side.
