Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Regensburg will be aiming to keep their 100% record intact in the 2021/22 2. Bundesliga campaign when they take on Schalke 04 at Jahnstadion Regensburg on Matchday 4. Regensburg could not have wished for a better start to the season, with the team winning each of the first three league fixtures in style. The Red-Whites are playing with confidence, and it should come as no surprise the odds for home win have been dropping.
A man to watch in the home team will be captain Benedikt Gimber, who has been producing fine displays at the start of the season. Die Knappen, on the other hand, are on a quest to return to the German top flight. Schalke, though, failed to impress in a slim draw with Aue, which is the main reason why home win should be considered. Both Becker and Idrizi are pushing for a start, speaking of the visiting team.
