H2H: Leipzig vs. Schalke – Score prediction (28.09.2019)

Overview.

One of just three unbeaten sides this season, RB Leipzig top the Bundesliga. Three of their four league wins have seen them win by a multi-goal margin and lead at half-time, while they haven’t been down at the break in any of their seven competitive games this term. Now on a run of just one league loss at home since the start of last season (W11, D7), Leipzig games in that time have seen an average of just 2.53 goals per game – the lowest of all current Bundesliga sides.

After one point from their first two Bundesliga games, Schalke 04 have come back strongly and won their last three to give them their best start after five games since 2015/16. Each of their league wins this season has seen them victorious with over 2.5 match goals scored, a scenario now seen in eight of their last nine Bundesliga victories. Schalke had more success on their Bundesliga travels than at home last campaign (18 pts vs 15), and following a win and a draw away this term, the ‘Miners’ are now unbeaten in six league road trips overall. Showing real resilience in those games, Schalke actually went behind in all four games to see both sides score.
