Schalke play host to Eintracht Braunschweig at their Veltins Arena looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Nurnberg. As die Knappen want to celebrate already secured Bundesliga promotion in front of home fans, we predict a 2-1 home win. Schalke have been one of the strongest teams in the league lately, collecting 2.00 points per game over their last 10 matches and winning 80% of their recent home fixtures. The league leaders average 1.8 goals scored and just 0.6 conceded at home, with fit-again striker Edin Dzeko pushing for a return to the starting XI. Despite the recent defeat, Schalke’s overall momentum remains impressive with five wins in their last six matches.
Braunschweig, meanwhile, travel to Gelsenkirchen under pressure as they continue battling to avoid relegation. Their away form is worrying, averaging just 0.67 points per game and conceding 2.0 goals per match on the road. However, die Lowen gained confidence from a 2-1 win over Dynamo Dresden, and midfielder Robin Heusser returns from suspension to strengthen the squad.
Given Schalke's dominant home form and promotion confidence, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Dzeko to Score and Schalke Over 1.5 goals.
This Bundesliga 2 match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 14:30.
