Schalke 04 take on the visitors RB Leipzig at "Veltins-Arena" in the matchday 30 of the Bundesliga. The game will be played on Sunday, April 23rd.
Schalke 04 went through the unsuccessful last week: last round they were defeated by Darmstadt, the weakest team in the Bundesliga, with 1:2 scoreline on the road, afterwards, on Thursday "Die Knappen" failed to qualify to the UEFA Europa League in the extra-time against Ajax having won the second-leg match with 3:2 scoreline after 0:2 away loss in the first one. As a result, it can be surely said that Schalke 04 have gone through the disastrous season. After 29 gameweeks the side occupies just the 11th place in the standings with 37 points taken, consequently, it won't be able to promote to the Eurocups' zone, however, relegation is quite possible for the team. It should be noted that in front of their supporters Schalke 04 show impressive results recording 27 points earned with 27-13 goal difference in 15 clashes. Gelsenkircheners have not been defeated at their own turf since the 27th of January across eight consecutive encounters resulting in four victories and four draws.

RB Leipzig won four recent games of the season with 12:2 aggregated score. After 29 rounds "Die Roten Bullen" occupy the second place in the standings with 61 points gained and 55-30 goal difference and will surely participate in the UEFA champions League next season. On the road Ralph Hasenhuttl's team conducted 14 games recording 24 points earned, 24 goals for and 19 goals against.
Schalke 04 and RB Leipzig met only once in their history and "Die Bullen" won with 2:1 scoreline at the home ground in the reverse fixture earlier of this season. Concerning the forthcoming encounter, despite all its difficulties and failures in recent weeks, the hosting side will manage to get some points in front of its fans against the impudent debutant.
Prediction for the match: Schalke 04 to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
