Schalke 04 are on the sixteenth place in the Bundesliga with six points and a 5-11 goal difference to their credit at the moment. They have managed to win only twice so far this season. In their other six matches in the league Die Konigsblauen have lost all of them. That result has been very disturbing for the team with such a high status. Obviously, the players of the team have been in a crisis period recently. Thereby they have been really unproductive. In their last away fixture though the team of Domenico Tedesco beat Fortuna Dusseldorf with a 2-0 score. In their last three matches overall Schalke 04 drew against Galatasaray with a 0-0 score in their UEFA Champions League group stage fixture, lost to Werder Bremen with a 0-2 score and beat Fortuna Dusseldorf with a 2-0 score.
In their last two matches between Leipzig and Schalke 04 at the Red Bull Arena Die Roten Bullen won both of them. Furthermore, they scored two goals at least in each of those games. Die Konigsblauen have been in a crisis period, they have been really far from their peak shape recently. The team of Ralf Rangnick on the other hand has been showing good performances match after match. Furthermore, Leipzig will have a home crowd advantage on Sunday. Thereby it is likely that the hosting side will manage to get the victory in their upcoming game against Schalke 04.
Prediction for the match: Leipzig to win.
