Schalke 04 vs RB Leipzig Prediction
Schalke 04 Form
A draw is the best Schalke 04 can show from their last three games, where they came up short in a 0-1 defeat against Mainz 05. A0-0 draw with FC Koln followed before they were defeated 2-0 by Dynamo Dresden. Schalke 04 only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Bundesliga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew three and lost one, as they scored nine and conceded six goals.
Aiming for a mid-table finish Schalke 04 would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.
RB Leipzig Form
RB Leipzig won twice in their last three matches, but began by losing 4-1 against Real Madrid, before beating Elversberg 4-0. Another win followed, this time by 1-2 against RW Essen. RB Leipzig only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew zero and lost five as well as being outscored by 20 goals to seven.
RB Leipzig are among the title candidates in the Bundesliga again this season, and first place is still within reach.
In current form, we favour RB Leipzig to claim a win, when they challenge Schalke 04 at VELTINS-Arena. We doubt, the home side is able to stop the visitors.
Schalke 04 fought their way to zero wins and one points from their last two games against teams inside the top six. They were on target one times in these matches, but also let in two goals. Schalke 04 have so far been able to win just once after seven Bundesliga games played, in stead showing off three draws and three defeats. RB Leipzig are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording four wins and three defeats in the Bundesliga.
