Schalke vs Leipzig Prediction: the Hosts to Finally Score

Prediction for the Bundesliga Schalke vs Leipzig match, which will take place on January 24. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Schalke started the second part of the season poorly, with a 0-3 loss to Eintracht. The Gelsenkirchen side was statistically just as good as the Eagles, but the luck turned away from the outsider. Schalke sent 18 goals, shot four times, and got an xG index of 2.38, but they still could not score. At the same time, their situation is close to disastrous. After 16 games, the hosts are the last in the Bundesliga standings with only 9 points, 6 points behind the safe 15th place. Schalke's home statistics are 17th in the division, +2=1-5, 9:19 goal difference, worse only at Augsburg.

In the game of Leipzig, we were wrong. We thought that the Bulls and Bayern would again bring us high performance, but it was just 1:1. That said, Leipzig could not lose to the champion. In any case, such a result is good, even despite dropping out of the top 4. But they have all chances to get back there because the gap between Eintracht, Union, and Freiburg is only one point. Another thing is that Leipzig has mediocre away statistics, only 10th in the division, with two wins, three draws, and three losses. However, both of Leipzig's victories came in their recent away matches.

Schalke in Frankfurt did enough, if not for the points, but for a goal. Schalke performed decently, although they made mistakes in defense, which ultimately affected the result. However, there is a home match ahead, and there is no doubt that Gelsenkirchen is in a fighting mood for the second part of the season. Leipzig did not have their best game on Friday, although they fought the very Bayern. A disadvantage of the bet on RB is that the Bulls will be an away team, and on the road, Leipzig's statistics are worse than at home. The teams will exchange goals. We will not be surprised if they take away points from each other.
