It may seem as a mental decision to get money on a team as bad as Schalke, who have not been able to win for what seems like an eternity. However, there are a couple of reasons to give them a chance here.

The number 1 would of course be the change of manager, which occured this week. Schalke owners kicked Baum out and appointed club legend Huub Stevens as a caretaker. The decision to get rid of Baum is logical, since the team was really going nowhere under him. Regardless of all the financial and off the pitch issues, unbalanced squad and so on, even with all these things in the way, he could’ve at least implemented some sort of gameplay to the team. In reality, Schalke was constantly a group of 11 static players. Stevens appointment may have a short-term positive impact on team’s morale, as it often happens in Bundesliga. After all, Schalke still has people in the squad, capable of deciding games, like midfielders Harit and Serdar. Both of them had missed ⅔ of last season injured and been on/off in this campaign. Harit had COVID issues and injuries, Serdar also missed 4 games this season with injury. The big news before the Saturday game is, that these two are expected to start and, maybe, play a full match.

Arminia’s case is a bit different. They’re simply poor. In many ways, like Paderborn were the season before. Upon winning promotion, they kept basically the same squad and the reality of Bundesliga struck them too hard. So if Schalke is underperforming, to some extent, then Arminia is actually playing up to everyone’s expectations. And that is what draws me to this double chance pick on Schalke.

把钱投给像沙尔克这样的烂队，似乎是一个心理上的决定，沙尔克似乎永远也赢不了球。然而，有几个理由给他们一个机会。

首当其冲的当然是本周发生的主教练换人。沙尔克俱乐部老板把鲍姆赶了出去，并任命俱乐部传奇人物胡布·斯蒂文斯代管。解雇鲍姆的决定是合乎逻辑的，因为在他的领导下，整个团队真的没有任何进展。尽管存在财务问题和球场外问题，阵容失衡等问题，但他至少可以为团队执行一些游戏玩法。事实上，沙尔克一直是一个由11个静态参与者组成的团体。史蒂文斯的任命可能会对球队的士气产生短期的积极影响，就像德甲经常发生的那样。毕竟，沙尔克队中还有一些能够决定比赛胜负的球员，比如中场哈里特和塞尔达尔。他们两人错过了上赛季⅔受伤,在这次竞选开/关。哈里里特有伤病问题，塞尔达尔本赛季也因伤错过了4场比赛。周六比赛前的大新闻是，这两个人将首发，也许，打一场完整的比赛。

比勒费的情况有点不同。他们只是弱。在很多方面，像帕德伯恩是赛季之前。在晋级后，他们基本上保持了原来的阵容，德甲的现实对他们打击太大了。因此，如果沙尔克在某种程度上表现不佳，那么比勒费实际上是在迎合每个人的期望。这就是为什么我选择沙尔克不败。
