Meetings between these two teams have often ended in lopsided scorelines. The most recent one saw RB Leipzig win 4-2, and before that there were 6-1 and 5-0 results on show. But Schalke 04 are no longer the team that willingly opens up and trades blows like before. They have picked up 3 draws from 7 matches and have just finished a league game with a 0-0 draw. Schalke 04 come into this with their attack still sluggish, scoring only 4 goals across 7 matches, but their defence has not collapsed in every game. They have lost 3 of their last 5 and went down 0-1 in their most recent Bundesliga match. As for RB Leipzig, despite heavy 1-6 and 1-4 defeats in the league and Champions League, they responded with a 4-0 league win and a 2-1 cup win. Their attack remains dangerous and has scored 20 goals in 7 matches. This game is likely to see RB Leipzig dominate possession and try to break down the home side's deep defensive block. If the hosts hold out for a long time, the game could drag on, but with the visitors' clearly superior attacking quality, they should be the ones to find a goalscoring opportunity first and eventually close out the game.
