We’re Happy to Back Three or More Goals

We’re heading to the Total Goals market where you can bet Over 2.5 at odds of -167. We think that there will be at least three goals in the clash between Kaiserslautern and Schalke, with the odds making appeal.

FCK Beat Schalke in their Previous Meeting

Play-off hopefuls Kaiserslautern have lost their last three games. Away at Eintracht Stadion, they recently suffered a 2-0 defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig. The Rhineland-Palatinate outfit had the majority of the ball boasting 55% possession and two shots on target.

Schalke 04 drew 2-2 in their previous game. This was at home at VELTINS-Arena against Hamburger SV. Kees van Wonderen's team enjoyed just 30% possession and had three shots on goal, while Ron Schallenberg and Moussa Sylla found the net.

Kaiserslautern have beaten Schalke in the last two encounters. A 3-0 away win at VELTINS-Arena came after a 4-1 home victory at Fritz Walter Stadion. Kaiserslautern have landed victory in two of the previous 3 H2H games, with Schalke winning once.
