FC Schalke 04 v SC Paderborn 07 : Bundesliga 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 2nd May, 17:30 BST, Veltins-Arena, Gelsenkirchen

It's a long trek for Lukas Kwasniok's SC Paderborn 07 side on Friday evening, as they travel to the Veltins-Arena for a Bundesliga 2 showdown with Kees Van Wonderen's FC Schalke 04. For each and every Bundesliga 2 match preview, KickOff explores the statistics for seventeen major betting markets. Important stats, including head to head (H2H) results, are then published alongside the best odds.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Schalke and Paderborn will score at least a couple of goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Kees Van Wonderen or Lukas Kwasniok has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s recently either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.17 equating to approximately a 80% probability.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 46% chance of Paderborn coming away with a win.
