Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We're ruling out a bore-draw or a slim 1-0 win here, and instead we're predicting over 1.5 goals. That means that Schalke and Magdeburg will score a minimum of two between them during 90 mins. It's a prediction based on form stats for each side, as well as historical records when they go head-to-head. We give it a probability of 80%. Bookmakers have it available at 1.18.
