Schalke vs RB Leipzig

Maya Yoshida and Schalke face the unenviable task of trying to keep Josko Gvardiol and RB Leipzig at bay in the teams' Matchday 17 encounter on Tuesday ...

- Werner has hit the target in each of his last three visits to Schalke. Perhaps understandably given the size of their lead and another game against VfB Stuttgart coming up on Friday, Leipzig eased off early in the second half – but Schalke were in no mood to simply roll over. [Leipzig](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/clubs/rb-leipzig) began as if determined to put on a show. Worse was to come for the Royal Blues on the stroke of half-time when Silva prodded in on the rebound after Schwolow could only parry another Olmo shot, before the Spaniard teed up Werner to tap in his fifth goal of the season. Not content to rest on their laurels or give the home side even the tiniest sliver of hope, the visitors continued to push forward and soon doubled their lead when Olmo found the unmarked Henrichs arriving on the right, and the defender left Alexander Schwolow no chance with an arrowed drive into the corner. - Henrichs' goal was his first of the season, but the eighth time a Leipzig defender has scored this season - also a Bundesliga best.
