RB Leipzig vs Schalke Predictions, Tips & Predictions

RB Leipzig vs Schalke 04
Germany – Bundesliga
Date: Saturday, October 3, 2024
Starts at 17pm UK / 30pm CET
Venue: Red Bull Arena.

The Red Bulls have been the best team in the country, after the two titans, Bayern and Dortmund, in recent years. They were expected to finish third in the table in 2019-20 and have the second best defense in the entire league, second only to the Bavarians.

They've picked up right where they left off last season and have shown signs that they're once again chasing a podium, and maybe even better.

Meanwhile, the Royal Blues are one of the worst teams in the competition right now, and perhaps the absolute worst. They are now bottom of the table and so far have conceded a total of 11 goals in the first two games.

And remember they scored a total of one goal in exchange for those 11.

In addition, Julian Nagelsmann's men are at home and had already beaten this opponent the last time they faced each other.

Of course, expect a comfortable victory for Leipzig.

Leipzig vs Schalke: Head to Head (h2h)

• The last match ended in a 0-5 victory for the Red Bulls, and that too away from home.
• They had recorded three of the previous four wins.
• They've kept the sheets clean in three of their four previous clashes.
• The guests have won only once at this stadium in the last decade.

Leipzig vs Schalke: prediction

Nagelsmann's men drew 1-1 in the last round, away from home, against Leverkusen. Meanwhile, the Royal Blues lost 1-3 at home to Bremen.

In fact, they are on a 20-game winless streak and have also lost 12 of their last 15 games in total. They are also on a winless run away from home since November 2019, and have scored a total of just three goals in their previous ten games.

On the other hand, their counterparts had not lost for 20 of the previous 22 games, with the two defeats being against PSG (Champions League) and Dortmund.

Moving on, they have also only lost once at home in the past 12 months, that defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Finally, the Red Bulls managed a massive 0-5 away victory in the last h2h match, and they also lost only once at home to this rival since 2010.

It looks like a big win is expected for Leipzig.
