BetGenius backs FC Schalke 04 Under 1.5 Goals (Team Total Goals) at 76% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Union Berlin welcome FC Schalke 04 to the capital with both clubs searching for their first league victory of the campaign after taking one point from their opening two Bundesliga fixtures. The hosts shared six goals in an eventful 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in their home opener before suffering a 4-0 defeat away at Bayer Leverkusen.
FC Schalke 04 arrive following a disciplined goalless draw against Bayern Munich, having started their season with a 3-0 loss at FC Augsburg. The visitors are yet to score in the league and must cope without the suspended Ron Schallenberg following his red card, while Union Berlin manage multiple fitness concerns across their squad.
Historical meetings between these two sides in Berlin suggest a tightly contested affair, with all three previous Bundesliga encounters at this venue ending in draws.
