MATCH PREVIEW
| RB Leipzig are on a run of three-consecutive league victories at the Red Bull Arena, including a 6-0 thrashing of Nürnburg in their last home outing – their biggest-ever Bundesliga victory. After that result fans will be expectant, and a win here against Schalke would be the first time that Leipzig have registered four home league victories in a row since September/November 2017. |
| With the third-highest number of goal attempts in the league (127), Leipzig continue to base their strategy on attacking often and in numbers – they’ve had eight different scorers in their last four competitive games. |
| The hosts have also hit the woodwork six times – more than any other Bundesliga team this season. Curiously their opponents, Schalke, have hit the frame of the goal five times – the same number as league goals they have scored. |
| Languishing in the relegation zone, the league’s second-lowest scorers have been poor so far, however Schalke are unbeaten in their last three away games (W2, D1), albeit two were in the Champions League. |
| Notably, when Schalke have conceded first they’ve gone on to lose the game in all six of their league defeats this season. A lack of aggressiveness is certainly not the problem however, as the visitors have clocked up 18 yellow cards – the joint-highest in the Bundesliga and tied with Leipzig. |
| Players to watch: With four scored, and more goal attempts (34) than any other Bundesliga player, Timo Werner is likely to cause Schalke problems. |
| Lively in midweek against Galatasaray, Schalke’s Breel Embolo was denied several times and had a goal disallowed. |
| Stat attack: In Leipzig’s three Bundesliga home victories, they were winning at half-time. |
| Only one of Schalke’s last ten competitive games ended with over 2.5 goals. |
| There’s only been four competitive H2Hs – both teams scored in three, and the away side on the day has never won. |
