FC Schalke 04 at Bayern Munich 9/18/20 - Bundesliga Picks & Predictions

Bayern Munich are coming off a spectacular season and will now look to pick up where they left off. They will start the new season in the Bundesliga with a home match against Schalke on Friday. The visitors had a roller-coaster ride of a season last year and will only hope to do better this year.

Bayern Munich completed the treble last season, as they won the Champions League, the Bundesliga title and the German Cup. They were excellent in the Bundesliga (26-4-4), scoring 100 goals and conceding 32 in the process. Their home record was a solid 13-2-2 with 53 goals for and 15 against. There were Over 2.5 Goals in 27 of their 34 matches, and in 14 of their 17 home matches, with an average of 4 goals per match.

Schalke made quite a solid start last season, and were really good until the winter break but seriously fell off in the second half of the season. They were terrible and didn’t win any of their last 18 matches in all competitions (0-11-7) and eventually finished at the 12th spot (9-13-12) with the 3rd worst offense (38 goals). Schalke were nothing special on the road (4-8-5), scoring 18 and conceding 31 goals in the process.
