Leipzig Preview
RB Leipzig has made a strong finish to their 2022-23 season. Since suffering three defeats on the bounce in March and April, Rose’s troops have gone on to win eight of their following nine in all competitions.
The Red Bulls will finish in third place no matter what happens on the final day. They have won 19, drawn six, and lost eight of their 33 league matches. Along the way, Leipzig has scored 60 and conceded 39.
The Red Bulls are searching for a fifth successive league victory this weekend. When the league season is done and dusted, they can turn their attention to the 2023 DFB-Pokal final. Leipzig faces Frankfurt at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Schalke Preview
Schalke was promoted from the 2. Bundesliga last term, but the Royal Blues could face an instant return to Germany’s second division. Reis’ side sit second from bottom in the current German Bundesliga standings.
