Schalke arrive at round 4 with a mixed Bundesliga start: a 3-1 win at Union Berlin offset by a goalless draw with Bayern and a 0-3 defeat at Augsburg. Elversberg come in with real momentum - four wins from five, scoring 15 goals in that run - but they have kept zero clean sheets and conceded in every one of those five games. Both sides have goals in them; the question is who controls the contest. Schalke have beaten Elversberg in all three previous meetings, scoring 7 and conceding just 2. That record, combined with home advantage and Elversberg's inability to keep a clean sheet, tips the balance. The 2.00 on Schalke to win is fair value given the head-to-head record and a model probability of 39 percent, which is precisely what the price implies.
