A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: 2.Bundesliga

Schalke 04
Team captain Kenan Karaman scored both goals in last week’s 0-2 away win for Schalke 04 against Magdeburg. The team continued with their fine form and surprised many with their performances so far.
Schalke 04 have won four of their six 2.Bundesliga matches, while conceding only four goals since the start of the season. Pretty impressive.
Also, all of Schalke 04’s last three league games ended with under 2.5 goals, so they are excellent at keeping their opponents away from their goal.
In their stadium, Schalke 04 won twice in three matches this season, only narrowly losing 0-1 to Holstein Kiel in their most recent home game.
Greuther Fürth
Greuther Fürth’s games were entertaining to watch so far due to a handful of reasons.
First of all, they are either hit or miss – three wins and three defeats in six games, so you never know what game face they will put on.
And the most incredible thing is that Greuther Fürth are the team with the most goals scored after six matches (13) and the most conceded (15). 28 goals in just six games is pretty wild stuff.
Last week, Greuther Fürth unexpectedly won 1-3 away against strong favorites Arminia Bielefeld. And they achieved that high win playing with 10 men the entire match!
Their 22-year-old defender, Noah König, received the fastest red card in 2.Bundesliga history, after just 30 seconds of play! Yet that inspired his team to push and win the game.
The Betting Verdict
Greuther Fürth has remained unbeaten against Schalke 04 in all four of their previous duels in the 2. Bundesliga, drawing twice and winning twice.
Last season, both their duels were explosive, ending 3-4 in Gelsenkirchen and 3-3 in Fürth.
However, I lean more towards Schalke 04 in this game. Schalke 04 have been strong defensively, while Greuther Fürth have been very inconsistent.
Back Schalke 04 here to record their fifth win in seven league games this season.
