RB Leipzig vs Schalke Predictions

• RB Leipzig have won eight of their last nine games.
• Schalke have three defeats in their last four away.
• RB Leipzig won the reverse fixture 6-1.

Leipzig can sign off in style

RB Leipzig have already secured third place in the Bundesliga and Champions league football for next season ahead of Saturday’s home game against Schalke in the final round of fixtures.

The visitors sit second from bottom in the table and defeat would see them drop straight down to the second tier, while even a win could still see them finish up in the bottom three.

Leipzig have the DfB Pokal final to come after the conclusion of the league but they can still end the season with a win and doom Schalke to Bundesliga 2.

Schalke ending with a whimper

Schalke managed back-to-back wins over Mainz and Bremen to give their survival hopes a boost not too long ago but have managed just one point from two games since.

Only a win will do for the visitors and they have to go on the attack from the off, and that may play right into Leipzig’s hands as the hosts are a quality team on the counter.

Leipzig have won their last four at home and are in fine form overall with eight wins in their last nine games. Boss Marco Rose may opt to rest a few players ahead of the cup final date with Frankfurt – but those players coming in will want to make a mark and try and force their way into his DfB Pokal plans.

Leipzig won the reverse fixture 6-1 and have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning each of their last four meetings with Schalke by at least three goals.

The hosts can cover a -1 handicap on Saturday, potentially hitting Schalke on the break as the visitors push forward to try and claim the result they need, and a 3-0 win for Leipzig looks a reasonable correct score prediction as they have hit five goals in total across their last two games.
