RB Leipzig are in real trouble right now - they have lost every one of their recent matches, and some of those defeats were heavy. Schalke, on the other hand, are in much better shape, with a couple of wins and some solid draws in their recent games. So the visitors come into this one looking the stronger side.

Recent meetings between these two have generally been high-scoring and quite open, so this could be an entertaining game rather than a tight, cautious one. Given Leipzig's poor run and Schalke's better form, Schalke look the more likely winners, though the match should still have goals in it.
