German Bundesliga 2, 32nd round, regular season, 07.05.2024. We've got a match between "Osnabrück" and "Schalke".
The team is presently at the bottom of the division, a clear underdog. The season's climax is near; only three matches remain, and to climb out of the relegation area, the squad will have to win these encounters. "Schalke" are far from threatening at the moment, so it's worth it to try. "Osnabrück" has a mere five wins with sixteen losses and ten draws.
Once a strong Bundesliga mid-table team, now merely scraping by in Germany's second-tier division. The team is clearly not in their prime and aren’t yet ready for a Bundesliga comeback. Currently, they are on a streak of six matches without a defeat.
Since 2020, these teams have faced each other just three times. "Schalke" triumphed twice, quite convincingly (4:0, 5:1). There was one draw (2:2).
It's clear that "Schalke" is head and shoulders above their opponents even in the current scenario, but the home team will have to give their all in this match. Otherwise, their relegation seems almost certain. Here, I'd pick: both to score – yes, and for those who like long-odds: a draw.
