General match analysis
RB Leipzig sit 5th and have scored 20 goals this season, while Schalke, 15th in the table, have managed just 4. The visitors have won 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring 13 goals in that run, whereas the hosts have won twice and scored 7 over the same period. Leipzig also have the edge in the quality of chances created away from home, with an average xG of 1.57 compared to Schalke’s 0.96 at home. However, backing the visitors is not without risk: they have lost all 3 away matches, conceding an average of 3.67 goals, while Schalke have conceded just 0.33 goals per home game. The hosts have failed to score in all 3 of their home matches, though, so despite Leipzig’s struggles on the road, an away win remains the most likely outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal against both teams scoring is Schalke’s home record: they have conceded an average of 0 goals and kept a clean sheet in 100% of matches. Leipzig average only 0.67 goals scored away from home and failed to score in 33% of those matches. At the same time, Schalke average 4.5 goals scored at home, while Leipzig concede 3.67 away, making Leipzig to draw a blank seem more likely than a 0-0 draw. BTTS - No means at least one team fails to score; it does not necessarily mean the match will finish 0-0. However, this pick is not certain: Leipzig have averaged 2.6 goals across their last 5 matches, and their away xG is 1.57, indicating a genuine chance of breaking through the hosts’ defence.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals: this line has been exceeded in 100% of Schalke’s home matches and RB Leipzig’s away matches so far. Schalke have averaged 4.5 goals at home, while Leipzig have conceded 3.67 per away game; however, a more conservative forecast of 2.45 goals for the hosts is supported by their average xG of 2.08 and the 2.27 xG conceded by the visitors. Leipzig have the potential to add a goal, having averaged 2.6 goals across their last five matches, although Schalke have yet to concede at home. The projected total of 3.50 goals also points towards Over 2.5, but the 1.5 line offers a clearer edge given the uncertainty around the visitors’ finishing.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
In the matches analysed at home, Schalke led at the break 3 times out of 4, while RB Leipzig were trailing at half-time in all 3 of their analysed away fixtures. The hosts averaged 1.75 goals before the break and conceded none, whereas the visitors failed to score in the first half and conceded an average of 1.67 goals. After the break, Schalke averaged 2.75 goals at home, while Leipzig conceded 2.00 goals away, supporting the hosts’ chances of maintaining their lead until full-time. The xG figures also point to the hosts’ advantage in creating chances: 2.08 compared with their opponents’ 1.57. The 1/1 pick nevertheless carries some uncertainty, as Leipzig averaged 2.6 goals across their last 5 matches regardless of venue, compared with Schalke’s 1.4; nonetheless, the home and away data provide the strongest case for the hosts to lead at the break and win.
