Schalke vs Bayern Munich Tips & Live Stream – Handicap in Play in Bundesliga
Schalke are poised for their home opener and are unlikely to face a heavy defeat, boosted by motivation and early-season opportunities. Bayern, despite their pedigree, might juggle fitness concerns following three games in ten days. Bettors should keep an eye on Moussa Sylla, who has shown goal-scoring promise by netting recently against Hallescher and maintaining a strong presence in the box against Augsburg. The key advice is to expect a close match and consider Sylla as a scorer.

Even with one player sent off, Schalke created four goal chances against Augsburg last weekend. Bayern Munich played three games in the last ten days and might have fitness problems, so I don't see them winning convincingly here.

Home Premiere Match for Schalke
After a three-year absence, Schalke have finally returned to the German top flight, earning promotion earlier this summer. They dominated 2. Bundesliga, winning the league eight points ahead of Elversberg.
The Miners had a rocky start to the new campaign, needing extra-time to eliminate a tier three side Hallescher 5-2. Veteran Edin Dzeko saved the day, netting two goals.
Schalke were beaten in the Bundesliga opening round last weekend at Augsburg 3-0, but had 2.10 expected goals and 11 shots. Striker Moussa Sylla missed two huge chances to get on the scoresheet.
Bayern off to a Strong Start
Michael Olise carried Bayern Munich in their season-opening match against Borussia Dortmund in the Super Cup, registering one goal and one assist in a 2-1 victory at Signal Iduna Park.
Vincent Kompany's side also had an amazing start to the new Bundesliga season, crushing Stuttgart 5-1 at Allianz Arena last Friday.
The Bavarians used their almost strongest lineup in mid-week against a tier-two side Osnabruck and won 4-1 to advance in the German Cup. Harry Kane netted a brace, Olise and Tom Bischof also on target.

Verdict
Schalke will be super-motivated in their first home game, and I don't think they will suffer a convincing defeat. We are still at a very early stage of the new season, so Bayern could have some fitness issues after playing three games in the last ten days.
Another bet worth considering is Moussa Sylla to score. He found the net against Hallescher and spent a lot of time inside the box last weekend against Augsburg.
