Schalke 04 vs Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga
by Daniel Ngulu | in Bundesliga Prediction
Leipzig will resume Bundesliga action with an away game against Schalke 04 after taking a first leg lead against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League. Going to the game, hosts Schalke have managed 36 points and are in sixth place while Leipzig are second with 45 points. Schalke march to this game unbeaten in their last four matches but have won just one of those. The last time they face a side above them in the standings, they were whacked 5-0, by Bayern Munich, and they will be hoping to avoid another embarrassing outcome. They have three wins in their last 10 matches but they are without a win in their last four Bundesliga matches. They have drawn each of their last three league matches, two of these goalless, making it three in five league games that they have failed to score. On the flipside, they have three clean sheets in their last five league matches. In their last 10 league matches at home, Schalke have no loss; they have won five and drawn five and in the last five league games at home, they have scored two or more in three. This season in the Bundesliga, at home, they have only lost to Bayern Munich. Schalke beat Leipzig 3-1 away in the first leg and will be hoping to complete a double when the league title contenders come calling.Leipzig had a very organized performance in London and were only denied a win by a bigger margin by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris’ saves. The 1-0 win was their second in a row after earlier seeing off Werder Bremen 3-0. Leipzig are getting to their best after a brief lull towards the Bremen clash. They have two losses in their last seven meetings with Schalke and after falling in the first leg, they will hope for a better outcome here. The win over Spurs was their second in six matches; earlier, Leipzig had failed to win in four straight matches. With two straight wins and three clean sheets, they will definitely have their confidence high. Leipzig have failed to score in just two of their last 15 matches and in the 15, they have scored two or more in nine matches. Leipzig are winless in three Bundesliga away matches, having drawn two and lost one and they have not scored in the league away from home in their last two matches. They carry to the game the third best attack in the league, and the second best defence.

Our Schalke 04 vs Leipzig Prediction
Leipzig were in a class of their own in the win over Tottenham in the Champions League and seem to have found their best after a short lull. They have three straight clean sheets going to this game but they have not been very sharp away from home in recent matches. Looking at Schalke’s home record, we feel Leipzig will struggle to assert their authority here. A draw will be a good bet for this one.
