Schalke are only one game away from breaking Tasmania Berlin’s all-time negative record. This inglorious hurdle can be broken on Saturday against Hoffenheim. 30 games in a row without a win, that was in 1965/66, and that can happen again on Saturday afternoon.

Schalke will do everything possible to save themselves this embarrassment of being forever in the history books as one of the two worst teams in history.

Although things are currently anything but exhilarating for opponents Hoffenheim, in view of the Schalke bankruptcy series, the guest from the Kraichgau is, of course, a favourite, as the odds of the best betting providers make clear before Schalke vs. Hoffenheim.

Schalke’s record also occupies our experts in our betting base podcast: In episode 10 of Talk & Tips, the sports betting podcast, Julius Eid and Alex Truica discuss the 15th matchday of the Bundesliga and also look at the arena at Schalke.

Schalke – Statistics & current form

“Everything went very, very quickly during the days.” Sead Kolasinac is “back home”, as he himself says – the left-back was presented as a new addition on Tuesday. After three and a half years, the Bosnian returned from Arsenal FC to Schalke 04 and is now supposed to embody the spirit of optimism and hope to still be able to stay up. “I know that the euphoria is great now because I’m back,” said Kolasinac, who called the return to the miners “an affair of the heart”.

It is expected that Kolasinac will also be in the starting eleven against Hoffenheim on Saturday – and thus help to finally end the unbelievable series of 30 games without a win. Because number 31 would be the setting of the eternal negative record of Tasmania Berlin.

Will the turning point come with Kolasinac?

This bankruptcy series is of course currently floating above everything on Schalke, determines the headlines. Kolasinac should make steam over the left and also help to stabilize the fragile defence, which is the worst in the league with 39 goals conceded. That was also proven last weekend in Berlin when Hertha scored 0: 3.

But it’s not just the defence that causes problems, but also the storm. Schalke did not score a goal in three games and even failed to score in eight of 14 games. Unsurprisingly, the meagre eight goals scored are also the worst value in the Bundesliga.

What should give Schalke a little hope in this regard is that Hoffenheim is the only other Bundesliga team that has not yet played to zero this season apart from Schalke. In view of this, before Schalke vs. Hoffenheim, the tip that both teams will score goals is of course a good idea.

Probable lineup of Schalke:
Ferryman – Stambouli, Kabak, Nastasic, Kolasinac – Serdar, Mascarell, Schöpf, Uth, Harit – Hoppe

Hoffenheim – Statistics & current form

The opportunity to end their winless series could possibly be very favorable for the bottom of the table from Gelsenkirchen – because Hoffenheim has been anything but solid or in shape in recent weeks. The Kraichgauer have lost three of the last four games and only won two of the last twelve games.

TSG is bobbing around on a disappointing 13th place. On the 14th matchday there was a sobering 1: 3 in the home game against SC Freiburg, already at break it was 0: 3. Self-confidence won’t exactly have increased this game.

TSG remains extremely moody and unpredictable. Against the top teams Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern Munich there were victories this season, Leipzig (0: 1) also made life extremely difficult before Christmas. At the same time, however, there were disappointing appearances and results, such as the last one against the sports club from Freiburg.

Hoffenheim is looking for constancy – crash into the relegation zone?

The team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß is still looking for consistency. As a result, TSG is gradually even slipping into the relegation battle. “That is not an issue. We’re way too early in the season, ”Hoeneß says, however, in the meantime.

Arminia Bielefeld is currently five points ahead of the relegation rank. A point loss to Schalke and Hoffenheim could slide even further if the competition scores points down there.

Anyone who believes that this will happen will find odds of over 4.00 at the top both on the Schalke victory and on the draw in the game Schalke vs. Hoffenheim.

Probable lineup of Hoffenheim:
Baumann – Akpoguma, Vogt, Adams, Sessegnon – Rudy, Samassekou, Bebou, Kramaric, Baumgartner – Belfodil

Schalke vs Hoffenheim Direct comparison / H2H balance

There have been 24 Bundesliga duels between these two teams to date, and the overall balance is extremely balanced: TSG recorded nine wins, eight for Schalke and seven draws.

Last season they parted at Schalke 1: 1 – a result that both teams could not live with this time around and that would certainly be a disappointment for both of them. Schalke would have set the negative record, Hoffenheim could not win against the weakest team in the league.

But Schalke can not only equalize this record: Another defeat without a goal of their own would set the negative club record from 1985 when they also lost four games in a row to zero. Anyone who thinks this will happen will find odds of 3.50 at Schalke vs. Hoffenheim on the tip Hoffenheim wins to zero.

Schalke shivers – the setting of the negative record is imminent. Opponents Hoffenheim don’t want to concern themselves with that at all, “for us it’s totally irrelevant,” said TSG coach Hoeneß in advance. Instead of thinking about what a historical setback you can inflict on your opponent, you want to focus on yourself in Kraichgau.

Key facts – Schalke vs Hoffenheim tips

If the home win fails to materialize, Schalke has equalized the Tasmania negative record of 31 games without a win
TSG Hoffenheim have not yet played a single game to zero
Schalke could not win any of the last four duels with Hoffenheim

That is also necessary because otherwise, both teams have a lot of pressure – namely to win. And said pressure can, of course, paralyze, to be admired by the Schalke players who couldn’t do the 30 games in a row while the winless games continued to be counted.

We don’t believe that this series will break on Saturday. But since both a Hoffenheim win and a draw are easy to imagine for us, but the double chance is not particularly lucrative, we decide on the prediction at Schalke vs. Hoffenheim: There will be more goals in the second half.
