Schalke have been the steadier side lately, with a couple of wins and some gritty scoreless draws mixed in, so they come into this one in decent shape. Leipzig, on the other hand, are really struggling — they've lost their last five games in a row, and some of those defeats were heavy, so confidence is likely very low right now.

When these two met in recent years, the games tended to be high-scoring and open, with goals coming at both ends. Given Leipzig's rough run and Schalke's more solid form, Schalke look the better bet to come out on top here, though the history between them suggests it could be a lively, end-to-end match.
