Schalke and Darmstadt are the two teams that played in the Bundesliga in recent years, but now, both sides are struggling in the second level of German football. Most pundits saw these teams in the top half, but Schalke collected four points from five matches, while Darmstadt collected two points fewer. 

Schalke was a German football giant with seven Bundesliga titles, but in the last few seasons, they have not even been a shadow of the club we knew well. Schalke struggle continued the last few weeks as they picked up only one point in the previous three league rounds. In the previous game, they lost 2-0 on the road against Karlsruher. The home side finished the game with an xG of 2.12, while Schalke had only 0.58, so the final score reflected well everything we saw on the field. 

Darmstadt started the season with two defeats, but in the next four matches in all competitions came only one loss. In the previous game, they played 1-1 at home against Braunschweig. The teams were pretty even in that match, so splitting points was probably the most realistic outcome. 

Schalke vs Darmstadt pick: Both teams to score - yes

Schalke scored at least one goal in five of the last six matches. On the other hand, Darmstadt scored at least one goal in four of the previous five games. Both teams to score - yes should be the best bet for this tie.
