Schalke - Bayern Munich: Another Convincing Victory for Bayern?
In the second round of the German Bundesliga, Schalke will face Bayern Munich. The match will take place on Saturday, September 5, with kick-off at 18:30 CET, and I have a betting tip for this game.
Schalke - Bayern Munich: Match Preview
Schalke have finally returned to the Bundesliga. In the 2. Bundesliga, Schalke collected 70 points from 34 rounds and earned promotion to the top flight by finishing first. However, their first match after returning to the Bundesliga was a complete disaster. They played away against Augsburg and suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat. It was an extremely disappointing start to the season. Before that, though, they had thrashed Hallescher 5-2 in the first round of the German Cup.
Bayern Munich are a powerhouse under Vincent Kompany. They have won two consecutive league titles, and last season the team completed a domestic double by also winning the German Cup. Bayern started the new season with a 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup. In the opening Bundesliga round, Bayern thrashed Stuttgart 5-1, and in their latest match they beat Osnabrück 4-1 in the first round of the German Cup. Next week, they will also begin their UEFA Champions League campaign with a home match against Bodø/Glimt.

Prediction
Bayern have made an excellent start to their new Bundesliga campaign. Schalke are currently not a team capable of competing with this Munich powerhouse, even at home. I suggest betting on Bayern Munich's team total over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.50.
