The visiting RB Leipzig side should be favourites in this visit to Schalke 04, as the away team holds a 30 point advantage from their 19 league games this season.
- Schalke 04 has the most conceded goals (49) in Bundesliga
- RB Leipzig has the fewest conceded goals (17) in Bundesliga
It's no vacation for neither Schalke nor RB Leipzig as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Schalke 04 form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Schalke 04, who have the most conceded goals (49) in Bundesliga, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses from their games here at VELTINS-Arena. The Schalke 04 manager C. Gross might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Schalke are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Wolfsburg. Preceding that game was the away draw at Werder Bremen that finished 1-1.
Schalke have scored 8 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.
RB Leipzig form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (17) in Bundesliga, are W3-D4-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga.
The supporters enjoyed Leipzig's previous game versus Bochum, a DFB Pokal 4-0 win played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Bayer Leverkusen.
As you can tell from the results above, RB Leipzig was very dominant against Bochum, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Marcel Sabitzer, Amadou Haidara and Yussuf Poulsen (2) providing the goals.
Leipzig have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Leipzig have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: RB Leipzig - Schalke 4-0. Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: two - two - five (Schalke wins - draws - RB Leipzig wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
