FC Ingolstadt 04 - Jahn Regensburg


High flying Ingolstadt played a good season so far and they are only 3 points behind third place. Their aim is anyway sooner or later 1.Bundesliga and with the Audi Group in their back they can work very easy and has no financial problems. In this case they signed some very good guys who played already in 1.Bundesliga. Sure some of them are older but for 2.Bundesliga they are very good. Maybe many saw that the record is not the best at home in their „Audi Sportpark“ and they collected most of their points away from home where they can go for their dangerous counter attacks. Maybe this can change a bit today because I expect a very deep playing Regensburg side but they should be able to find some way to beat them. From their players it is a huge advantage for sure but you have to take in mind that this one is a derby. The first matches at home were not so well and they was up against Cottbus 2-0 but it ended 2-2, also against FSV 0-2 and against 1860 0-2. In these 3 matches they conceded 6 but in the other 3 only 2. Coach Oral has found his team and they know now what he has to do. In this case they are very hard to beat and they conceded in the past 4 matches only one single goal. The defensive worked very well and they are able upfront to score as well as 5 goals showed. No imp. injury problems.

Huge trouble in Regensburg this week. They fired their coach Corrochano and as new coach took manager Gerber over. He is on bench until winter-break. In the break they want search for a new ambitious coach. But some rounds to play and the first match from new man on the line Gerber is just the derby against Ingolstadt. It is not an easy task for them overall if you took a look on former matches and how the team was presenting herself. It is not all bad there but their trend more goes down as up. Their squad is not as big as they can choose from a lot, it is more that they have problems now according to their injury list. Important players like captain and defender head Laurito is out, also back wing Rahn with huge experience, Djuricin who is on loan from Hertha also out. Maybe 1st keeper Hofmann returns today but he had a lot of mistakes in the past anyway. It seems that Gerber has a lot to do to form a new starting lineup and bring some motivation and self confidence back. Also as I wrote many times about Jahn Regensburg, they are playing well in some situations and create also some good things but they are more or less to harmless upfront. They scored only 12 goals in 12 matches and overall with 5 from Sembolo they are to predictable. Moreover if you take a look at the last 4 matches they scored only 4 goals but conceded 11 !!! If they can not stop this they are for sure the loser today. As I saw the lineup who are in the starting lineup today I am not very convinced about it because with Amachaibou (to slow), Haag (played not such good so far) and Kurz (returned last weekend after long injury time ... not ready overall in my eyes) he wants to bring 3 new guys and change an unsettled team again.  

Normally it is clear, a team who played well with huge self confidence who are very hard to beat against a team who is very confused and also has some missings and additional score not much ..... which would you trust?
