Prediction: 2-0
Schalke 04
Schalke were able to turn things around in rounds six and seven, securing their first two wins of the season and first six points of the season, before they were beaten 2:0 by Werder Bremen in the last round. On the other hand, RB Leipzig recorded four straight wins in all competitions before being held to a goalless draw by Augsburg last time around. Had they won that game, they would have jumped to second in the standings, but they will have to settle for fifth right now. After getting into the Champions League this year, where they have a draw and a win so far, Schalke have been really struggling in the Bundesliga with six defeats in total, more than any other team. Leipzig are also playing in Europe this year, but in the Europa League, so far managing a win and a loss. They are unbeaten at home so far this season, and it will probably stay that way after this encounter, with another win for Leipzig.
