Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Leipzig
Match Time & Date:
27/05/2023
15:30
Prediction: 3-1
Schalke
After spoiling Bayern Munich’s party at Allianz Arena, Leipzig will be aiming to record their fifth consecutive league win when they take on Schalke on Saturday afternoon. The Red Bulls aim to finish the season in style and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the relegation strugglers. Timo Werner is a major doubt (illness), while Peter Gulacsi remains in the treatment room. Anyhow, boss Marco Rose is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed the Bavarians at the weekend.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt. Schalke are desperate to avoid automatic relegation to 2. Bundesliga, but given Leipzig’s splendid form, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. To make things even worse for the away team, both Simon Terodde and Moritz Jenz are banned for the decider.
Highlighted Player (Timo Werner):
Timo Werner is a German starlet, who began his senior career at Vfb Stuttgart. The German forward, who was born in Stuttgart on March 6, 1996, scored 13 goals in 95 appearances in the league for Die Schwaben and in 2016 he moved to fellow Bundesliga side Leipzig and he impressed with the Red Bulls in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign, scoring 21 goals in the process.
To make things even better for the talented attacker, he represented Germany at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and it has to be noted that he provided an assist for Lars Stindl in the title game. Despite the fact that coach Joachim Low rested star players at the tournament in Russia, the Germans eventually won the trophy.
Timo Werner played for the Germany U17 team as well and he won the silver medal with die Mannschaft at the 2012 UEFA European Championship. His main position is centre forward, but he is used as a winger as well. Timo Werner’s contract with Leipzig should expire on June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Schalke):
Schalke 04 are a professional football club founded in 1904. Die Knappen (The Miners) compete in German Bundesliga and they have won seven domestic titles. Schalke have clinched five German Cup trophies as well, while lifting the UEFA Cup title in 1997. The German club defeated Italian side Inter on penalties in the title game and that was the last time the final of the competition was played in a two-legged format.
Schalke 04 play their home matches at Veltins-Arena, the stadium that has been the home of the team since 2001. The capacity of Veltins-Arena is 62,271. It is well known that Borussia Dortmund are Schalke’s main rivals and the Ruhy neighbours face each other in the Revierderby.
The likes of Klaus Fichtel (477), Norbert Nigbur (355), Rolf Russmann (304), Klaus Fischer (295), Olaf Thon (295) and Herbert Lutkebohmert (286) are the players with most appearances for die Knappen. The colour of Schalke’s home kit is blue.
