A tough test awaits Schalke as they welcome the reigning champions Bayern Munich in their first home match of the Bundesliga season. Die Knappen have plenty to improve on after their disappointing 3-0 defeat to Augsburg, in which they conceded 3.72 xG. Their last 10 matches across all competitions have produced a 60% win rate, although that drops to 50% at home, where they average 1.75 goals conceded per game. Ron Schallenberg’s suspension further weakens a side that already looked outmatched in the opener.
Bayern could hardly have wished for a better start, thrashing Stuttgart 5-1 while immediately showing why they are the team to beat again. Vincent Kompany’s side have won nine of their last 10 matches, scoring 2.80 goals per game, and they have failed to score just once during that run. Ismael Saibari is pushing for a starting berth, while Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala remain injured. Bayern have also dominated this fixture historically, winning 27 of 36 meetings.
Schalke suit Bayern Munich and with the Bavarians impressing in their season opener, Away Win should be considered. Additionally, Bayern Munich Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals markets seem appealing (Bayern average 2.80 goals per game).
Over 2.5 goals – Bayern’s attacking strength should produce chances.
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 17:30.
