German Bundesliga
2008-05-10 - FC Schalke 04 vs Eintracht Frankfurt
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Schalke enters this match knowing that they need to win and hope that Werder Bremen slip up before the season ends in order for them to finish second in the Bundesliga and along with it an automatic spot to the Champions League
Schalke strength lies in their home form as apart from the small hiccup they suffered against Hannover 96 when they could only draw 1-1 at home, they won their previous other three matches played at home beating the likes of Duisburg 2-1, Hansa Rostock 1-0 and thrashed Energie Cottbus 5-0.
Schalke’s form has also been good in their last eight matches as they have lost just once going down to second place Werder Bremen 5-1, away from home if I may add so. Their last four games have shown good form as they drew just once against Hannover 1-1 but came back right up in their last match to beat Bochum 3-0.
In their last four games they have scored a massive ten goals and conceded just once.
As for their opponents Frankfurt, they enter this match knowing that they are safe for yet another season in the Bundesliga as they are just slightly off mid table position. Their form has been poor in their last eight games with just 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
Worse still if you look at their last four games entering this match they have failed to win a single match with a draw and three defeats. Most importantly on their travels, they have won two and lost their last two away games. Their last two defeats came in their most recent away games when they lost to Hannover 2-1 and Stuttgart 4-1.
You can just imagine if Stuttgart in 5th spot can humiliate them with a 4-1 defeat, what more can Schalke do to them when they are battling for the second spot and have managed to win 9 out of 16 games to date at home this season?
Take Schalke and give the 1 1/2 ball here.
Cheers and good luck,
