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
Schalke 04's struggle is real here at VELTINS-Arena with only 7 points collected from 8 Bundesliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5.

In their previous game, the manager Reis led his Schalke 04 to a defeat away at Eintracht Frankfurt. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at VELTINS-Arena. Yoshida, defender, was given a rating of 7.05/10 in that game, top of the team. Yoshida won 9 of 12 duels.
Preceding that match was the home game against FC Bayern München that was lost 0-2.Schalke 04 are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games.

RB Leipzig form and stats

Preceding that game was the away victory against Werder Bremen with the score of 2-1.Goal-happy betting people should observe that 9 of this team's 12 most recent league rounds have ended with at least three goals.
A quick return to home after this game, as RB Leipzig are hosting VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga only three days away.
