The Bundesliga serves up a fascinating encounter this Halloween as high-flying FC Schalke 04 host RB Leipzig. Schalke enter the match in scintillating form, boasting a perfect record over their last five outings and a remarkable 63% win rate this season, having netted 49 goals while conceding just 28. Their impressive 20 wins and 7 draws speak volumes about their current strength and consistency.
In stark contrast, RB Leipzig's season remains shrouded in mystery, with no recorded stats or recent form available, creating an intriguing unknown for this fixture. However, history heavily favours the visitors, with Leipzig dominating recent head-to-head clashes, including a 4-2 victory and a stunning 6-1 away win against Schalke. Despite Schalke's current prowess, the bookmakers reflect this historical dominance, giving Leipzig a 45% win probability, identical to a draw, and placing Schalke as outsiders with only a 10% chance. All eyes will be on whether Schalke can defy the odds and recent history to continue their incredible run, or if Leipzig will pick up where they left off in their previous encounters.
