FC Schalke vs Augsburg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 2nd 2022

Borussia Dortmund v FC Schalke 04 - Bundesliga
FC Schalke 04 welcome Augsburg in Bundesliga action

FC Schalke and Augsburg square off at the Veltins-Arena in round eight of the German Bundesliga on Sunday.

The visitors head into the game on a run of three consecutive victories and will be looking to continue in the same vein.

Schalke failed to make it two wins from two in their most recent Bundesliga outing as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Dortmund in the Revierderby two Saturdays ago.

Prior to that, they picked up their first victory of the season on September 10 when they saw off Bochum 3-1 to end their five-game winless run.

FC Schalke head into the weekend fresh off the back of a 3-0 friendly victory over amateur side FC Gütersloh and they will look to build on that result.

Like the hosts, Augsburg cruised to a comfortable 5-2 victory over Austria Lustenau in a friendly on September 22.

They have now turned their sights to the Bundesliga, where they are currently on a run of two consecutive victories.

With nine points from seven games, Augsburg are currently 11th in the league standings, three points and three places above Sunday’s hosts.

FC Schalke vs Augsburg Prediction

After stumbling into the new campaign, Augsburg appear to have hit their stride in recent weeks and will be eyeing a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions. The visitors take on a struggling Schalke side who have failed to impose themselves in the top flight and we predict they will grind out a slender victory on Sunday.
