Schalke may take time to hit stride

Bundesliga
BT Sport 1, 7.30pm Friday

Mainz started the Bundesliga season with four defeats in five games but they have taken seven points from their last three outings and shouldn't roll over at Schalke.

The home side are slow starters, scoring only one first-half goal in their last four matches, but they may turn the screw after the break.

Recommendation
Draw-Schalke double result
1pt 4-1 Betfred

Key stat
Schalke's ten league goals include three penalties and an own goal.
