Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

TSG Hoffenheim v FC Schalke 04 is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

FC Schalke 04 are in trouble, and not only on results. FC Schalke 04 have been out-created in five of their last eight games. On top of that, they have conceded only 8 in their last eight when the chances they allowed would usually cost about 13. Their goalkeeper and their luck have carried them. Until FC Schalke 04 sort that out, they are there to be got at.
