Ulm against Schalke: Who will break the winless monster in the 2nd Bundesliga?

In a gripping duel in the 2nd Bundesliga, SSV Ulm and FC Schalke 04 meet. Both teams are in crisis and after ten match days they only have eight points on their account. While Ulm kicked in the regional league last season, Schalke, once in the Bundesliga, is now fighting for survival. An away win for the royal blue would be an urgently needed liberation!

But the signs are anything but rosy for the Gelsenkirchener. Under the new coach Kees van Wonderen, they conceded three defeats in three competitive games, including a bitter 0: 3 crash in the DFB Cup against Augsburg. Felipe Sánchez, a key player in defense, is also missing. Ulm, on the other hand, won only one win from five games at home this season and only scored six goals. The weak home balance could be doomed to the Ulmen.

statistics and betting odds

The betting providers do not see the Ulm without a chance despite their weaknesses. The odds for a Schalke victory are 2,88, while the probability for more than 2.5 goals is located at 1.80. The defensive of the miners is already the weakest in the league with 24 goals, which increases the chances of a goal -rich game. Ulm scored 60 percent of his goals according to standards in the previous season, while Schalke never stayed without conceding in the last 12 second division games.

The previous encounters between the two teams also speak for Schalke, who remained unbeaten in the last three guest performances in Ulm. But the question remains: Can FC Schalke 04 finally let the knot burst and free themselves from the crisis? A victory would not only be of crucial importance for the table, but also for the self -confidence of the team.
