Schalke vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 30, 2022
Schalke will host Freiburg at the VELTINS-Arena on Sunday (October 30) evening in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have endured a near-abysmal return to the top flight, prompting the dismissal of manager Frank Kramer. Former Bochum boss Thomas Reis has come in as the new head coach. Schalke lost 2-1 to Hertha Berlin last time out and were headed towards a draw after Florent Mollet's late equaliser but were undone by a late winner. Schalke sit rock-bottom in the Bundesliga with just six points.
Freiburg, meanwhile, have had a largely solid campaign and will fancy themselves as early European contenders. They beat ten-man Werder Bremen 2-0 in their last league outing before playing out a 1-1 draw against Olympiacos on Thursday to secure top spot in their UEFA Europa League group.
The visitors are third in the league table with 21 points from 11 games. They will now look to continue their good run of form.
