Schalke 04:
Schalke 04 has picked up the thread after a hesitant start to the season. The last two duels of Die Königsblauen yielded three points. Last Sunday Schalke booked a large 1-5 win on a visit to SC Paderborn. There were already chances before the break, but for the most part they had not yet been spent on Schalke. After the break there was better completion, which resulted in a big win. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that Schalke also gave away relatively many opportunities.

"We can do much better,” David Wagner said at this week’s press conference. ‘We have missed opportunities several times during the changeover. But the boys want to work on this, "said the coach of the club from Gelsenkirchen. Wagner doesn’t have to worry about absences at the moment. Only Benito Raman is not involved. Another newcomer, Ozan Kabak, can be deployed again, but he will probably not have a base place against Mainz.

FSV Mainz 05:
Mainz 05 and his supporters experienced the first moment of happiness of this Bundesliga season last week. After three losses in the first three rounds, there was some pressure on last weekend’s game. At home against Hertha Berlin, Jeremiah St. Juste won 2-1 after a late header. The victory was not entirely deserved. Keeper Robin Zentner prevented Mainz from falling behind several times in the second half.

"This win was so important to us,” St. Juste said after the match. "Now we have the first three points and we need to build on this,” said the defender who came over from Feyenoord this summer. Normally St. Juste will be in the starting line-up again on Friday, just like Jean-Paul Boëtius, who plays a role behind the two strikers Adam Szalai and Robin Quaison. Jean-Philippe Mateta is still not available. The top scorer of last year is still absent for a few months.

The Schalke fans hope for a little more spectacle this season than in the last one. There, the team found neither and Domenico Tedesco even under coach legend Huub Stevens to old strength and fought even more for the descent than for an international starting position. After 34th matchdays, they finished only 14th place and 17 games were lost.

The goal difference of 37:55 goals was offensive especially a catastrophe and the team was usually dangerous only by standards. With David Wagner they brought in the summer a coach who should provide for more spectacle and this also already proved in the English Premier League. Schalke were also active on the transfer market, winning Benito Raman and Ozan Kabak for € 30 million. With Jonjo Kenny and Juan Miranda, two new full-backs are also available. The close confidant of Jürgen Klopp can also celebrate a very successful start after the fourth matchday. After slight teething problems against Gladbach (0: 0) and Bayern (0: 3), the Royal Blues were able to celebrate 2 wins in a row.

Hertha BSC Berlin were sent home 3-0 and last weekend they celebrated a 1-5 victory in Paderborn. With 8 goals in their last two games, they face the most dangerous offensive during this period. With a win they could theoretically even take the league lead, but only if all 5 teams in front of them score less. Also interesting is the Schalke 6 scored his 8 goals only in the 2nd half. The duels against Mainz ended mostly very positive and 5 of the last 6 matches were won. Each victory was achieved without catching a goal, only on 23 Matchday of last season, it put a 3: 0 swatter in Mainz.

For 11 years now, the FSV Mainz 05 participates in the German Bundesliga and has relatively little to do with the direct descent. 2 years ago it was only a 14th place but with Sandro Black they knew that they have found the right man on the sidelines. He proved this by several good results in the last year and a clever purchasing policy.

Finally, they were able to secure by 12 victories and 15 defeats the 12th place in the table. Although the international seats have been out of reach for years, a higher standard than a secured midfield would not be realistic either. In addition, the club was very good economics and brought many talents for little money to sell them then later expensive. One example was Jean-Philippe Gbamin, who went to Everton for € 25m this summer. This money was immediately invested in various new acquisitions, but still need some time.

A bitter setback was the failure of Jean-Philippe Mateta, the top scorer of the past season. This is certainly one of many reasons why the FSV Mainz is only on the 16th place of the table after the 4th matchday. After 3 defeats at the beginning of the season was followed on the final day of the game finally the liberation and you could prevail against Hertha BSC Berlin 2-1. In order to establish a greater distance to the relegation places, further victories are needed. But with only 4 goals scored, both the offensive and the defensive, which have conceded 13 goals, are the worst in the league

Bet Tips and Forecast
Free soccer picks
The Schalke team seems to have caught up after a disappointing last season and with coach David Wagner they have a new young coach on the sideline. The last two games were won, but also Mainz celebrated his first win of the season on the final day of the match and will travel to Gelsenkirchen with corresponding confidence. We therefore recommend a draw no bet bet 1. In addition, we would bet on a game over 2.5 goals. This is what we think since Mainz are the worst defensive players in the entire league and Schalke have found their offensive qualities with 8 goals in the last two games. A slightly riskier bet would be on Team 1 winning half time 2.

Euphoria is a big word that is often used in inflationary fashion, especially in the fast-moving football business. At FC Schalke 04, however, the exuberant and widespread high spirits have their justification. After the catastrophe season 2018/2019, the new coach David Wagner seems to have obviously turned in the summer on the right screws.

The Gelsenkirchen have solid seven points after four games and celebrated their last two victories in Paderborn (5: 1) and at home against Hertha BSC (3: 0). In the table, the Royal Blues have already climbed up to sixth place. If at the start of the fifth matchday a significant success against Mainz 05 be retracted, even for at least one night the top spot in the Bundesliga would wave.

If you give against the game Schalke Vs. Mainz the odds of bookmakers believe, then the chances for the Ruhrpottler are anything but bad. The self-confident Gelsenkirchen have in the highest German league against hardly any other opponent such a good record as against the FSV. In addition, the Rheinhessen won only one of 13 games in the Veltins Arena.

Whether this series of negative just calculated on Friday evening can be broken, seems rather questionable, because although the team of coach Sandro Schwarz in the previous week in the 2-1 against Hertha the liberating first win of the season, they remain, especially in foreign countries a welcome guest.

For this reason, we make the prediction between Schalke and Mainz that the tip on a home win with high probability will pay off. The last fiercely fighting and footballing improved team from the Ruhr area has made the final alliance with the fans, which is why we - with the support of the home crowd - assume a sovereign home success of the hosts.

Coach David Wagner, who found his way to the Ruhr area in the summer after a few years at Huddersfield Town in England, actually managed to spark a new euphoria in the Royal Blues within a very short time.
Although the last year-14 took. on the first two matchdays only one point, but the opponents were with Borussia Mönchengladbach (0: 0) and Bayern (0: 3) also very well-known. If the approaches were already in these games, the Schalke last rewarded for the courageous performances with two clear successes at home against Hertha BSC (3: 0) and in Paderborn (5: 1).

Above all, the performance of newcomers from East Westphalia united much of what the German-American coach, who incidentally has a Mainz past as a player, introduces his team.

But from a statistical point of view, this assessment is understandable, because in fact the Schalke have so far made all 13 round matches in the Bundesliga history against the 05er victorious. If you also exclude the three wins (in three games) against the SC Paderborn, then the Gelsenkirchen have against any other current first division a better win rate show.

With the exception of Nabil Bentaleb, who will no longer play any role in David Wagner's plans anyway, and the injured Benito Raman, the football teacher can draw on the full.

Although only the fourth matchday of the new Bundesliga season was on the program last weekend, one had the feeling that the match between Mainz 05 and Hertha BSC was already about "all or nothing". Admittedly, the starting point contributed quite a bit to this "champagne or seltzer" thinking.

Because both clubs on the first three matchdays still could not win a win and the connection to the upper midfield did not want early, developed a combat-oriented and dramatic match at eye level.
The Mainz went into the lead shortly before the break with a goal from Robin Quaison in the lead, but missed it, nachzulegen after the break a second goal. So it came, how it had to come: Marko Grujic headed in the 83rd minute, the 1-1 equalizer. The Rheinhessen had however this afternoon, the longer breath and were able to thank the Dutch newcomer Jeremiah St. Juste, who fixed his goal two minutes from time to the first victory of the season.

The FSV lost in the Bundesliga nine of the last ten away games. In Munich (1: 6) and on the first matchday in Freiburg (0: 3) the Rheinhessen also collected real "clapping".
