LEP vs SCH Dream11 Prediction: In the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig will square off against Schalke at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. After a disastrous run of form, David Wagner was finally relieved of his duties as Schalke 04 head coach following their 1-3 loss to Werder Bremen last week. New boss Manuel Baum faces as a difficult initiation as his new side travel to RB Leipzig, a side that made it four points from six to begin the campaign as they played out a 1-1 draw away at Bayer Leverkusen last week. Without a win in their last 12 away games in Bundesliga, this is a supremely challenging task for Schalke and although the new man can instill some confidence in them, it may take some time with the home side able to win this one by at least two clear goals, as they did in their opening game of the season at the Red Bull Arena.
