Schalke vs Werder Bremen
Saturday 30th May 2020
Bundesliga, VELTINS-Arena 

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 14:30 BST

Slow re-starters Schalke will play host to relegation-threatened Werder Bremen on Saturday afternoon in Bundesliga action.

The hosts have lost all three matches since the Bundesliga returned due to the coronavirus pandemic. Their slow start means they are now without a win from their previous 10 Bundesliga matches. Meanwhile, Werder Bremen have shown some signs of hope as they look to claw their way out of the relegation zone. They managed a draw and a win from their last two matches.

Schalke are priced at 7/5 to win the match by SkyBet and turn their horrid form around since the restart. The club’s hopes of Europa League football next season are slipping away after their poor start since the return. They are currently five points adrift from Wolfsburg and will hope they can finally find their groove this Saturday against a struggling team. Schalke often see plenty of possession, it’s their creativity in the final third that has been lacking.

In attack, youngster Rabbi Matondo has looked busy with his work-rate and lightning pace. He is priced at 7/2 to score anytime.

Werder Bremen are priced at 19/10 to win the match by SkyBet and claim a huge three points in their bid for survival. The struggling side will take some confidence from their recent performances, keeping back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since October 2018. They also have a very impressive away record this season with 16 points from 14 matches, and away sides seem to be playing much better in the behind closed doors format.

In attack, Bremen’s top goalscorer Milo Rashica is priced at 11/5 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, Schalke battled out a 2-1 victory away from home in a tight and tense match. 50 booking points were brandished and SkyBet are offering 5/4 for 50+ booking points to be shown again.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 14:30 BST.

Prediction: Schalke 1-1 Werder Bremen

– Schalke will be determined to not suffer a fourth loss in a row and Bremen continue to struggle to flourish in attack.

RB Leipzig vs Hertha Berlin
Wednesday 27th May 2020
Bundesliga, Red Bull Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 17:30 GMT

Bundesliga high-flyers RB Leipzig host Hertha Berlin in the league this Wednesday night in the early kick-off.

Julian Naglesmann’s men dispatched of Mainz with authority over the weekend with a resounding 5-0 victory away from home to make up for their opening weekend blunder after the Bundesliga’s restart. Meanwhile, Hertha Berlin have also made a fast start in their return with a 3-0 win and more importantly, a 4-0 win over rivals Union Berlin.

RB Leipzig are favourites for this German clash and are priced at 1/3 to win the match by SkyBet. The hosts looked in fine form over the weekend when they dispatched of Mainz in a 5-0 win. Their work-rate was second to none, their attacking was potent and creative, and Hertha will be worried after their performance.

In attack, look no further than Liverpool target Timo Werner to score for Leipzig. The striker has 24 goals this season and scored a hat-rick on Sunday. He is priced at 12/5 to score first.

Hertha Berlin will have a tough test in keeping their 100% record since the league’s restart and are priced at 13/2 to pull off a shock victory. Hertha have been impressive so far but face a much harder opponent in RB Leipzig. Luckily, their defensive frailties have not been tested as of yet but whilst they do prosper in attack, it is likely that most of the football will be played down the other end of the pitch.

Striker Vedad Ibesevic has scored in both matches so far since the return and is priced at 14/5 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, the match was not short of drama as Leipzig were victorious in a 4-2 showdown. 30 booking points were brandished but both clubs have showcased their grit in recent weeks, which could see more booking points awarded. SkyBet are offering 5/4 for 50+ booking points.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 17:30.

Prediction: RB Leipzig 2-0 Hertha Berlin

– The hosts have way too much quality in attacking areas and will punish their opponents in midfield and up front.
