Schalke's combined Poisson xG is 3.58 short-term and 3.14 medium-term. The model's fair odds for over 2.5 are 1.44-1.65, suggesting value at the 1.62 market price. Schalke are in strong home form at 2.0 pts/game over 6 matches with healthy xG output. Despite yesterday's caution about 2. Bundesliga, Schalke's consistent attacking data across both windows gives this pick more reliability.
