Union Berlin have a clearly superior record over their last five matches, collecting 8 points from 2 wins and 2 draws, while Schalke 04 have managed just 4 points. At home, the hosts create significantly more chances, averaging 19 shots and 10 on target, with an xG of 2.30, compared with Schalke’s away figures of 11 shots, 5 on target and an xG of 1.35. In addition, Union average 3 goals at home and have failed to score in none of those matches, whereas Schalke average 0 goals away and have failed to find the net in 100% of such games. Both teams’ defences leave room for improvement, as each concedes an average of 3 goals in the respective role, but the visitors allow opponents a higher xG of 2.79. The hosts’ superiority in chance creation and significantly better finishing efficiency point towards a Union Berlin victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Seasonal data provide a clear signal against BTTS - Yes: Union Berlin have yet to score, while Schalke 04 also average 0.0 goals scored, with both teams recording a BTTS rate of 0%. Union have kept a clean sheet in 100% of their matches so far, while Schalke have failed to score in 100% of their games, strongly supporting the scenario that the visitors could once again finish the match without scoring. The last five appearances nevertheless indicate greater attacking potential, with average xG of 1.72 for Union and 1.71 for Schalke, while both teams conceded 2.2 goals per match. Despite this, BTTS in this sequence stood at 60% for the hosts but only 20% for the visitors, so Schalke's poor consistency in front of goal tips the balance in favour of the BTTS - No scenario, meaning that at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Union’s last five matches produced an average of 4.8 goals, as the team scored 2.6 and conceded 2.2 per game. Over the same period, Schalke averaged 3.2 goals per match while conceding as many as 2.2, which clearly strengthens the hosts’ attacking potential. The quality of chances also points to an open game: Union’s average xG is 1.72 and Schalke’s 1.71, with 1.58 and 1.74 xG conceded by these teams, respectively. The Over 1.5 goals line offers the greatest edge, as 100% of Union’s last five matches and 80% of Schalke’s games went Over 2.5 goals, while the 3.50-goal forecast provides a significant margin above the 1.5 line.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is Union Berlin leading at the break and the home side securing victory by the final whistle. In their last five matches, Schalke were behind at half-time in 80% of cases, failed to score a single first-half goal, and conceded an average of 1.2 goals. Union scored an average of 0.8 goals before the break, while their opponents allowed an average of 2.2 goals across the full matches. After the interval, the home side have also been effective, scoring an average of 1.8 goals in their last five matches, while Schalke lost the second half in 60% of their games. Schalke’s higher xG of 1.35 compared with Union’s 0.48 limits confidence in the pick, but the visitors’ poor first-half performances and the hosts’ superior current form support the 1/1 HT/FT selection.
