Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Schalke and Union Berlin fans should get a chance to celebrate as their clubs go head-to-head, with KickOff's prediction of both teams to score looking a far more convincing pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two clubs have goals in them, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding real separation between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is our top tip.
