Match description
Schalke are the favorites for this fixture: at home they win 69% of matches, score on average 1.69 goals and concede only 1.00 goal per game, with home xG 1.69 versus xG against 1.08. Karlsruher have only a 21% win rate away, score 1.21 goals on average but concede as many as 2.07 goals per match and have an away goal difference of -12; additionally, in 50% of away games they fail to score. The hosts attempt more on-target shots (5.46 vs 3.43), have a slightly better conversion rate (11 vs 10) and a higher xG (1.69 vs 1.31), suggesting they create better scoring opportunities. It should be noted the visitors are in good form over the last 5 matches (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 12 goals) while Schalke have scored only 5 goals in that period and average 1.2 points per game. Considering the home side’s defensive stability (38% clean sheets at home) and the visitors’ susceptibility to conceding away, I tip a home win.
