Third round of the 1st German Football Bundesliga: Schalke 04 is in the home match against VfL Bochum
(Saturday, 3:30 pm, live on ATV) a clear favourite. Schalke is this season still unhit (1 win, 1 draw) and on the 2nd rank. Opponent Bochum is in the championship still without a victory. In round 1 Bochum lost away against Karlsruhe with 0:1, at least, on the 2nd matchday it was enough to reach a 2:2-draw against VfL Wolfsburg.
Bochum could profit from the fact that Schalke had to play on Wednesday the return match in the Champions League qualification against Atletico Madrid, which was lost with 0:4. Therefore Schalke plays in the UEFA-Cup. Still I think that Schalke does not lose in own stadium.
Statistics of the season 2007/08:
Schalke 04 (h): 10 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses
VfL Bochum (a): 5 wins, 2 draws, 10 losses
My expert's tip for this match is a home victory of Schalke 04.
