The prognosis of the bookmaker?
He has been on the coaching bench in the professional team since 2019. He had been associated with VfL since 1995, when he switched to that team as a player. Starting as a scout in 2009, he worked his way up through several positions to become head coach.
After Reis was kicked out in autumn 2022, it took a month and a half before the 49-year-old was able to find a new Bundesliga club, FC Schalke 04.
On Saturday he is now a guest at his former club. Will he defeat his old love with Schalke? The balanced odds show that the bookmakers such as our freshman Chillybets are undecided.
VfL’s home win for the new Wettfreunde signing is just under 2.40, while Schalke’s away win is 2.90. The odds for a draw are slightly higher (3.40).
Analyse: Bochum vs Schalke
Bochum has been waiting for a win for a month now. After the 5: 2 over troubled Hoffenheim, three league bankruptcies followed and the cup against Dortmund (1: 2).
VfL at least managed to score against Borussia. Thomas Letsch’s team shot in the Bundesliga most recently with blank cartridges. After a 0:3 in Munich followed a 0:2 against Freiburg.
Last Saturday there was again a 0:3 from Bochum’s point of view on the result display at newly promoted Werder Bremen.
Is Bochum also struggling against Schalke in front of the opposing box? For zero Bochum goals, there are betting providers Winamax a corresponding odds of 3.70.
The failures of two important key players on the offensive also speak for this. Neither Simon Zoller nor Gerrit Holtmann will play against Schalke.
In addition, captain Anthony Losilla is still missing red suspended, as well as right-back Cristian Gamboa and reserve keeper Paul Grave.
Fans of the Ruhrpott-Verein can draw courage from the home record. Five wins and a draw in ten appearances means twelfth place in the host table.
