Schalke vs Union Berlin – Score Prediction (Bundesliga – 18.10.2020)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Mark Uth remains the only Schalke player to score this Bundesliga. He returned to form with a hat-trick in a friendly against Paderborn in the international window. Union Berlin’s Marius Bülter registered a second-half goal in a friendly win vs Hannover during the international break. Poetically, his last four Bundesliga goals have been registered after the HT interval. Schalke’s last 25 Bundesliga home games have produced a total of just two goals inside the first 15 minutes, both scored by the visiting team.

Schalke Insights.

Schalke have opened a new campaign with three losses for the fourth time in their last 11 Bundesliga seasons, failing to finish higher than tenth on the previous three occasions. Having conceded 15 goals, and scored just one in return this time around, this instance can be considered the worst of the lot. Yet to score before the break, Schalke have experienced losing HT margins of 2+ goals in each of their three losses, the most recent of which stretched their winless Bundesliga run out to 19 matches (D6, L13). Nine of those 13 defeats were accompanied by a margin of at least three goals, and all but one came with a HT deficit.

Union Berlin Insights.

Similarly to their hosts, Union Berlin have seen two of their three Bundesliga games produce at least four total goals, but with 60% of their ten goals scored or conceded falling after the 60th minute. Second half equalisers in their opening two games prior to their victory illustrate the threat they can present after the interval. Their most recent win reaffirmed the importance of getting off to a good start. Since the beginning of last season, the team to score the first goal has gone on to win 78.38% of Bundesliga games involving Union Berlin (W29, D6, L2) at any venue.
