Wolfsburg vs Schalke Free Betting Tips – DFB Pokal 2021
Will Schalke manage the turnaround in the cup?
Nothing is sealed for a long time, you have seen too many things in football that were not thought possible. However, there are increasing signs that FC Schalke will have to play in the second division in the coming season. What is missing is the often-invoked breast loosener, which the miners might get in the DFB Cup on Wednesday.
However, the opponent is VfL Wolfsburg and the wolves have been extremely strong in the last few weeks and basically for the whole season. In the Bundesliga table, Oliver Glasner’s team has now climbed to third place. The Lower Saxony are in very good shape and are currently playing for places in the Champions League.
It would be extremely important for the Royal Blues to make it to the quarter-finals, also financially. The only thing missing is the belief in it, at least outside of the Schalke fan scene. There are currently sporting worlds between VfL and the Knappen and therefore it is more than a first impulse to place a tip on the home win in the game between Wolfsburg and Schalke.
Wolfsburg – Statistics & current form
The time has come in Wolfsburg to go for understatement. The media and the competition have already put the wolves in the Champions League. Oliver Glasner’s team is very stable and at least reaching the European Cup should be the goal. In the Autostadt, however, people are cautious these days.
Wolfsburg in great shape
The wolves could formulate their goals more offensively because in the last 18 competitive games they only conceded narrow bankruptcies in Munich and Dortmund. In the meantime, VfL has been unbeaten in five games and even won three straight wins without conceding a goal. Therefore, in the game between Wolfsburg and Schalke, you should take a closer look at the odds of a home win of whatever kind.
“I prefer to live in the here and now. Our thoughts are now only on the cup game against Schalke. ” – Oliver Glasner
Last Sunday SC Freiburg visited Wolfsburg and even if the 1-0 win by John Anthony Brooks was a bit doubtful, the Wolves showed a very mature performance. Wout Weghorst and Yannick Gerhardt added two more hits to the 3-0 victory, which was not at risk. If the Lower Saxony preserves their form, then not only is participation in the premier class possible but also triumph in the DFB Cup.
Personally, things couldn’t look better at Wolfsburg at the moment. All players are ready for action. But it is conceivable that coach Oliver Glasner can rotate a little. Xaver Schlager or Ridle Baku could get a break. Marin Pongracic, Joshua Guilavogui or Admir Mehmedi are all options for the starting XI.
The probable lineup of Wolfsburg:
Casteels – Mbabu, Lacroix, Brooks, Paulo Otavio – Gerhardt, Arnold – Steffen, Philipp, Brekalo – Weghorst
Trainer: Glasner

Schalke – Statistics & current form
FC Schalke has scored eight points from 19 Bundesliga games. The gap to the saving bank is nine points. No wonder that the miners’ transfer window has now been used extensively. One may speak of panic buying. On the other hand, Schalke had no choice but to breathe new life into the team.
With newcomers from the deep?
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, William, Sead Kolasinac and finally Shkodran Mustafi were lured to Gelsenkirchen. Up to this point, however, the obligations have not borne fruit, because, after the important win against Hoffenheim, it was only enough to only one point in the last four games. The best bookmakers can therefore not defend themselves against a prediction of a home win in the Wolfsburg vs Schalke encounter.
“We are very happy that we were able to strengthen ourselves in all prioritized positions despite a tight budget.” – Jochen Schneider
Last weekend, the Royal Blues delivered a very decent first half at their guest appearance in Bremen. Omar Mascarell even deservedly gave Schalke a 1-0 lead. In the second section, however, not much went together for the miners. It only played Werder. The 1-1 draw was logical and Schalke almost lost the game in the final minute.
Schalke currently still has a few players on the Bundesliga injury list. Kilian Ludewig, Goncalo Paciencia, Salif Sane and Steven Skrzybski will definitely be cancelled. Ozan Kabak was also loaned to Liverpool earlier this week. William, who came from Wolfsburg, Shkodran Mustafi and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar could make their starting eleven debuts for their new club.
The probable lineup of Schalke:
Ferryman – William, Mustafi, Nastasic, Kolasinac – Mascarell, Stambouli – Raman, Uth, Harit – Huntelaar
Trainer: Gross

Wolfsburg is in an extremely good mood at the moment. The Wolves have made it to third place in the Bundesliga with three wins in a row and are a hot candidate to represent German football in the Champions League in the coming season. Oliver Glasner’s team is currently extremely stable and therefore the Lower Saxony will go into the match as favourites on Wednesday.
Schalke is the exact opposite not only at the moment but for months. The squires are in the table cellar and have never played a worse season. It would be a sensation if the Royal Blues prevail on Wednesday. That is why we have a clear tendency to place a tip on the home side between Wolfsburg and Schalke.
Key facts – Wolfsburg vs Schalke tips
🥅 Wolfsburg has been unbeaten in five games and recently won three times without conceding a goal.
🥅 Schalke only got one point from the last four games.
🥅 Three out of four cup duels between the two clubs had to go into extra time.
The Wolves have even won the last three Bundesliga games to zero. It will have to be seen whether the Schalke team can at least hold against it with their winter transfers. But we think the hosts will make it to the quarter-finals. That’s why we decided to allude the betting odds between Wolfsburg and Schalke on a home win after 90 minutes.
