FC Schalke 04 will host Fortuna Dusseldorf at the VELTINS-Arena on Saturday, May 2nd, for an exciting 2. Bundesliga clash. Kick-off is set for 14:30. The Royal Blues, currently leading the league table, aim to extend their impressive winning streak, while the visitors from Dusseldorf will try to end their away struggles and collect crucial points in their fight against relegation.

Schalke 04 is in excellent form, having won their last four matches. Most recently, coach Miron Muslic's side defeated Paderborn 3-2 away from home. Dejan Ljubicic scored twice, and Adil Aouchiche added the third goal. With 56% possession and seven shots on target, Schalke displayed a dominant performance.

Fortuna Dusseldorf, on the other hand, has struggled away from home, suffering three consecutive away defeats. However, their last home game saw a convincing 3-1 victory against Dynamo Dresden at the Merkur Spiel-Arena. Cedric Itten, Emmanuel Iyoha, and Luca Raimund were on target for the Flingeraner, who managed six shots on goal despite only 34% possession.

In their last head-to-head encounter, Schalke 04 secured a 2-0 victory away at the Merkur Spiel-Arena. However, the overall record from the last ten matches slightly favors Fortuna Dusseldorf with five wins, compared to two for Schalke and three draws.

In the current 2. Bundesliga table, Schalke 04 sits at the top with 64 points from 31 games (19 wins, 7 draws, 5 losses, 48:28 goals). Fortuna Dusseldorf is in 15th place with 34 points from 31 games (10 wins, 4 draws, 17 losses, 30:48 goals).

Considering the offensive strength of both teams and recent results, especially Schalke's goal-scoring prowess and Dusseldorf's home strength, we anticipate a high-scoring match. Our betting tip is therefore: Over 2.5 Goals in the game, which offers an attractive price of -167.
