Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but it's all-but impossible to predict a goal-fest here. The stats suggest H.Berlin and Schalke both struggle to score on a consistent basis, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals looks like a smart bet.
