The story in brief
9-second readFC Schalke 04 (1-3-3, 16th) face RB Leipzig (4-0-3, 6th) in the eighth matchweek of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season. Here are the confirmed lineups; kickoff at Veltins-Arena is set for 15.30 (CET).
From the source
FC Schalke 04 (1-3-3, 16th) host RB Leipzig (4-0-3, 6th) in the eighth matchweek of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season on Saturday afternoon at Veltins-Arena. Schalke have the Bundesliga as their primary focus after an early exit from the DFB-Pokal to SG Dynamo Dresden (0-2) earlier this week.
Die Königsblauen are desperate for a win to avoid the relegation zone, having picked up just two points from their last four matches (0-2-2). Leipzig, on the other hand, are still in the DFB-Pokal and UEFA Champions League, having picked up a close victory against third-tier Rot-Weiss Essen in the middle of the week (2-1).
Their Bundesliga results have been relatively shaky over the last three weeks, with a 6-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, a 1-6 defeat to FC Bayern München, and a 4-0 victory over SV Elversberg 07.
