Today’s top betting predictions come from all over Europe as the weekend fixtures are coming up for the last time this month due to the upcoming international break. There are some good games in the German Bundesliga, the Italian Seria A, and suprisingly, we will try to bank on the Portuguese Primeira Liga. So with further ado, let’s get this party started and make some money.

The Revierderby has returned this year and it rarely fails to deliver. Now that Schalke are back in the big time, you can bet your bottom dollar that 81,000 fans will be rocking at the Signal Iduna Park this afternoon. The atmosphere will be absolutely amazing, so if you have the chance, we strongly recommend that you sit back and watch this game.
It’s in fact considered as the biggest game in German football and the two sides will enter it in good form. Borussia suffered a tough defeat in the Champions League at Manchester City, but that was somewhat expected, and they did perform really well. They took the lead and looked pretty solid against argubly the best team in the world, so that’s impressive by itself. BVB are playing good football right now, but this midweek match against such a difficult opponent has surely taken a toll and the players’ stamina levels would be lower compared to a Schalke team that has been resting and preparing all week for this Saturday derby.
Two midfield maestros 🪄 with impressive skill 👏 and a lethal finish 🎯 face off in the #Revierderby 🤜 🤛

Schalke has failed to score in the last four derbies against Borussia Dortmund. Such runs are bound to end at some point, and we believe this will happen today. BVB are a bit tired after their Champions League trip to England. Their confidence is also shaken up as a result of the two consecutive defeats (vs RBL and City). With that said, the Black and Yellow usually have no problems scoring at home in front of their amazing fans.
That’s why our money is on both teams to score. The odds are a bit low – at about 1.50 at most bookies online, but since it’s a nervy derby, our advise is that you bet on the match live, wait for the first ten minutes to pass as they should be goalless, then the odds on Both Teams to Score will increase to about 1.80 and that’s when you can make that bet.
