Schalke - Statistics and current form
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar should have two positive effects on the performance of FC Schalke 04. On the one hand, the Dutchman, like Sead Kolasinac, should of course provide an upswing with his presence alone and bring back the belief in relegation. On the other hand, the attacker actually brings a lot of individual quality with him and S04 can really use this in a storm.

Will S04 return to sporting success with the return campaigns?
After the break in the last home game against Hoffenheim (4: 0), the euphoria quickly fizzled out again at the weekend due to the 1: 3 at Eintracht Frankfurt. With the exception of the consolation goal from youngster Matthew Hoppe, who with four goals from the last two games is the great hope for the Royal Blues, the appearance in Hesse was not suitable for the Bundesliga.

Does Gross dare to make an offensive system change?
Mascarell was back on the bench last time he was injured and could start playing this time. Defense chief Sane is about to return to the squad, but not yet in the starting line-up. If Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is actually playing against Cologne, the question of the system is also very exciting. Gross will hardly take the risk of putting youngster Hoppe on the bench for the Dutchman.

Cologne for 485 minutes without a goal
Offensive, the Domstadt team has been extremely harmless for weeks and at the weekend the 0-0 draw at home against Hertha BSC was seen as a step forward. Certainly the performance of the home side was much more stable defensively than in the embarrassing 0-5 in Freiburg. In the attack, however, the Cologne team remained very pale and the call for Anthony Modeste is growing in the fan camp

However, since the primary goal of coach Gisdol will be to keep S04 at a distance in the Bundesliga table, the guests could live much better with a draw than the Royal Blues. So it is very possible that the formation will be the same as on the weekend. Jonas Hector is also likely to be back after he had to be replaced in the closing stages against the old lady.

Betting base forecast: Germany Schalke - Köln Germany tip
The starting position in the odds comparison of the betting base is rightly very close with this pairing. A clear favorite is not to be found in the cellar thriller in Gelsenkirchen. There is a lot at stake for both teams, which will be reflected on the pitch. There is certainly no playful delicacy to be expected and instead, the game with many duels will largely move in the midfield.

A "Under Goals” tip is almost automatically a good choice. Since the bookmakers also know about the starting position, the odds for this between Schalke and Cologne are quite low and the value is there, but rather low. On the other hand, bets on a home win for the Royal Blues could be more profitable.

If the team can build on the performance from the last home game against Hoffenheim, the chances for a three-point are good. If Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's repatriation campaign can actually be carried out quickly and the Dutchman is deployed on Wednesday, this is another plus point for the hosts.
Overall, the probability of victory for the home team is higher than the rather high rate of 2.60 suggests. Between Schalke and Cologne, the tip can be played on the home side with a stake of five units.
