FC Schalke 04 vs RB Leipzig Prediction 24 January 2023

The program of the matchday 17 of the Bundesliga starts in Gelsenkirchen, where the local Schalke will host RB Leipzig.

Having returned to the elite of German football, Schalke risk going back to the 2. Bundesliga as soon as possible. After games with Freiburg (0-2), Werder (1-2), Mainz (1-0), Bayern (0-2) and Eintracht (0-3) Knappen fell to the very bottom of the standings with nine points in the asset and a goal difference of 13-35.

RB Leipzig are now fifth with 29 points, a goal record of 31-22 and just six points behind the leaders. We would like to note that the second half of the first round of the campaign was held by the Red Bulls at a high level. Then they took down Bayer (2-0), Hoffenheim (3-1), Freiburg (3-1) and Werder Bremen (2-1), and also had a 1-1 tie with Bayern.

Usually, RB Leipzig shine at home, but against such a weak Schalke, they have a good chance of success on the road. Our prediction: the favorites of this pair will fully justify their status.
