Match description
Schalke 04 are clear favourites: at home they win 73% of matches and score an average of 1.8 goals per game with an average xG of 1.81, while Fortuna Düsseldorf win only 27% of away matches and score 0.73 goals per game with xG 1.42. The hosts create and finish more chances — on average 5.73 shots on target and 16 attempts per game with an 11% conversion rate, versus 3.93 on target, 13.13 attempts and 6% conversion for Fortuna. Defensively Schalke also performs better: they concede 0.93 goals per home game and keep a clean sheet in 40% of matches, whereas the visitors concede 1.53 goals away and have only 13% clean sheets. The last five matches show a significant gap in form and efficiency — Schalke have 4 wins and 10 goals scored, while Fortuna have just 1 win and 13 goals conceded; average points from the last 5 games are 2.4 for Schalke versus 0.6 for Fortuna. Considering higher xG (1.81 vs 1.42), better conversion (11% vs 6%) and the high proportion of matches in which Fortuna fail to score (40% vs 7% for Schalke), I forecast a home win.
