For the first time since regaining their Bundesliga status, the Schalke boys will get down to business in front of a home crowd on Saturday, when they'll take on champions Bayern. Schalke's return to the top tier after three seasons away was not a glorious one, with Miron Muslic's men coming unstuck away to Augsburg. Despite arguably being the better team during the first half, the newbies were a goal down at the break, and things went from bad to worse when Ron Schallenberg received his marching orders for a cynical foul. Being back at home could spur the hosts on, but facing Bayern is far from easy, let's be honest.
In the betting, at odds of -125, 'Both Teams to Score' appeals. Naturally, facing Bayern presents the hosts with an uphill task, but they created lots in that first game, while the champions have not made the best start defensively, conceding in each of their three competitive games, so let's not be too shocked if goals go in at both ends at Veltins Arena on Saturday.

Our Schalke 04 vs Bayern Munich Prediction
What we saw from these two during the first round of Bundesliga games is enough to conclude that 'Both Teams to Score' is a little generously priced at odds of -125. Realistically, such a bet could be more accurately priced around the -149 mark, especially when we consider how the visitors have struggled to keep things tight at the back during the early weeks of the season.
The hosts showed little defensive resistance against Augsburg, so they'll likely struggle to keep Bayern at bay, but they can definitely do some damage at the other end.
