Bayern Munich 6/4 to beat Schalke to nil in Tuesday’s DFP Pokal tie

Competition: DFP Pokal

Market: Bayern Munich win to nil

Odds: 6/4 @ Bet 365

Handed a real chance to make a statement in midweek and book their spot in the semi-finals of this year’s DFP Pokal, Bayern Munich will travel to the VELTINS-Arena on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, putting in what was another woeful display and hit with a 3-0 hammering away at Koln over the weekend, Schalke have begun to show some real cause for concern. Falling out of the top-four and also still reeling from their 5-0 defeat against RB Leipzig last month, former Huddersfield boss David Wagner has seen his side fail to win any of their last seven matches within 90 minutes. Even more worrying for fans around the VELTINS-Arena, the Royal Blues have now failed to find the net in their last three appearances on the spin, their worst attacking rut since October 2018. With the mood in their camp at a season-low, there is no doubt that Wagner’s side could be in for another extremely tough test in midweek.

As for the visitors, while Schalke might be in the midst of a real sluggish patch, Bayern Munich appear to be enjoying their brightest run of the season so far. Still boosted by what was a stunning 3-0 win away at Stamford Bridge last month, the German giants also hit Hoffenheim for six over the weekend. While Head Coach Hans-Dieter Flick will be hugely excited by the Serge Gnabry’s and Robert Lewandowski’s extended purple patches, Bayern have also landed back-to-back clean sheets away from the Allianz and will be looking to make another statement in midweek. Picking up a 3-0 win when they made the trip to the VELTINS-Arena back in August, we’re backing a similar outcome on Tuesday night.
