Schalke - Stuttgart 10/30/2020 Free soccer tips
Free soccer tips
We all still know the association Tasmania Berlin. The capital club advanced to the worst Bundesliga club of all time in the 1965/66 season and set all negative records. Admittedly, it is a fine line to compare the last place in the "eternal table” with FC Schalke 04, and yet the sad similarities have increased recently.

The Royal Blues have been without a win for more than 21 league games, conceded almost four goals per game in the first five match days and also have the most harmless attack in the German upper house with only two goals scored. As a result, it is not a big surprise that on the Friday evening before the match between Schalke and VfB Stuttgart, the odds of the best bookmakers turned down in the direction of the Swabians.

The newcomer has had a great season so far and is currently fifth. Especially abroad, the men of Pellegrino Matarazzo knew how to convince. Two wins in two away games are definitely an argument to dare to predict another three for the guest between Schalke and VfB Stuttgart.

The only thing that speaks against it is the fact that the Gelsenkirchen team have enjoyed playing against VfB in the recent past. Eight unbeaten duels underline this thesis, which in view of the current condition of the Baum-Elf can safely be neglected. If we limit ourselves to the numbers, data and facts of the current season before kick-off, the Schalke vs. VfB Stuttgart a lot for the tip on the white-reds.

Schalke:
Seldom have the balance of power in a Revier derby been so clearly distributed as in the past week. The Schalke team got under the wheels in the 3-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund, defended very well at times, but in the end didn’t have the slightest chance and thus took another sporting oath of revelation.
Free soccer predictions
After five games played, the Gelsenkircheners are only at a single point. The two goals scored correspond to the worst value of all Bundesliga clubs as well as the 19 conceded goals. The penultimate of the table in the Bundesliga has been waiting for a victory in the top German division for 21 matches and over nine months. Only Tasmania Berlin remained in the mentioned 1965/66 season without a full sense of achievement (31 games).

There is no light in sight at the end of the tunnel. The team currently has neither the confidence nor the necessary quality to start a series. To make matters worse, the pressure increases from game to game. Not least because the Ultras announced further consequences with a banner hung up after the derby, their team should again lack passion, commitment and fight against the promoted team.
Free soccer predictions
Because the Royal Blues only won one of the last five matches against promoted players and scored as many points in their past 21 Bundesliga games as their upcoming opponent in the first five match days (eight), we agree with the opinion of the betting providers and recommend between Schalke and VfB Stuttgart a forecast of the away win.
Coach Manuel Baum, who made the second worst start of all S04 coaches in history, has to do without his head in midfield, Suat Serdar. Ozan Kabak is still banned and Ralf Fährmann complains of muscular problems. The use of Mark Uth is also questionable. The ex-Augsburg resident does not have many high-quality options.

VfB Stuttgart :
Even after five match days, VfB Stuttgart is undoubtedly one of the most positive surprises of the still young Bundesliga season. With eight points, the Swabians have made the best start of a newcomer since 2017/18. Only the first match at home against SC Freiburg was lost. This was followed by two wins and two points, including last Friday against 1. FC Köln (1: 1).
Free soccer predictions
Especially away from home, the Matarazzo team have so far been able to convince. Six points from two away games and an impressive goal difference of 6: 1 are certainly indications that justify the odds between Schalke and VfB Stuttgart on the fifth place in the current ranking.
Free soccer picks
It should also be noted that the way the young VfB team currently plays football is the envy of many other clubs. The people of Stuttgart are hungry, carefree, hardworking and, after the recent good results, are bursting with self-confidence. If the newcomer can build on the performances of the last few weeks in the Veltins Arena on Friday evening, in our opinion there is a lot to be said for the third away win in the third guest appearance in 2020/21.
Free soccer predictions
The home side have to be particularly careful in the last 30 minutes of the game, because seven of the ten goals scored by the Swabians to date came between the 61st and 90th minute.

The hospital with the guests is still full. Anton, Mola, Awoudja, Mavropanos and Thommy are not available. Whether defense chief Kempf will be fit in time has to be decided at short notice. The situation is similar with the ailing Endo and Wamangituka. Nicolas Gonzalez is about to make his starting eleven comeback.

The winless Schalke have to face strong Swabians - analysis
FC Schalke 04 have had a completely unsuccessful start to the season and are only one point on the penultimate place in the table. On the other hand, VfB Stuttgart started the season with only one defeat from 5 games and is currently one of the top places in the table. Both clubs have vulnerable defenses and have conceded at least one goal in almost all games. So we tend to bet that both teams will score.

Schalke's disastrous start to the season
Free soccer tips
After FC Schalke 04 had to accept two defeats against Bayern Munich and SV Werder Bremen at the start of the season, the club's management decided to change their coach. Under David Wagner, the Gelsenkirchen club played a good first half of 2019, but then began a long series of negative events. His successor is the 41-year-old Manuel Baum. He previously worked for the DFB and coached the U18 and U20 there. He only got one point from the first 3 games. The two away games at RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund were clearly lost, with Schalke at least one point at the home game against Union Berlin. The "miners” currently have problems in all parts of the team. The offensive is clearly too harmless and could only achieve 2 hits in 5 league games. On the other hand, the defense has already conceded 19 goals. This corresponds to an average of 3.8 goals against per game.

21 league games without a win
The last Bundesliga win by FC Schalke 04 was already over 9 months ago. At that time, the club from Gelsenkirchen won the first matchday of the second half of the 2019/2020 season against Borussia Mönchengladbach. A little later there was another victory in the DFB Cup against Hertha BSC, before the negative series of the "Knappen" began. They have now failed to win 21 league games in a row. 14 of these 21 games were even lost. After this long dry spell, the team is barely self-confident. Next Friday, the team of coach Manuel Baum welcomes the newly promoted VfB Stuttgart. Will the negative series then continue or can Schalke finally end it?

The strong start to the season in Stuttgart
Free soccer tips
VfB Stuttgart got off to a strong start to the season as a newcomer. The team of coach Pellegrino Matarazzo had to accept a 2-3 defeat against SC Freiburg at the beginning of the 2020/2021 season, but afterwards there were 4 unbeaten games in a row. While VfB has not yet won a game in their home Mercedes-Benz Arena, the Swabians are currently the best away team in the 1st Bundesliga. The club from Baden-Württemberg won the two guest appearances at FSV Mainz 05 and Hertha BSC with a goal difference of 6: 1.

In addition, he was able to prepare 2 goals. On the other hand, VfB Stuttgart's defense is quite vulnerable. The Swabians had to accept 6 goals in 5 Bundesliga games. In 4 out of 5 games they conceded at least one goal.

Betting tip and forecast
Both clubs started the new season completely differently. VfB Stuttgart only suffered one defeat, while FC Schalke 04 only got one point. Due to the current form, the guests from Stuttgart are favorites on Friday. The only thing that speaks for Schalke is the balance between the two clubs. The club from Gelsenkirchen did not lose any of the last 8 games against Stuttgart. That is why we would secure our tip with a double chance for the benefit of the guests.
Free soccer tips
A more worthwhile alternative is to bet that both teams will score on Friday. Schalke 04's offensive is quite harmless, but the "Knappen” scored at least one goal in both home games this season. On the other hand, VfB Stuttgart had to concede at least one goal in 4 of the 5 season games.
