FC Ingolstadt 04 - Hertha BSC Berlin

Six Rounds before the end, I think no one doubt about the return from Hertha BSC to 1.Bundesliga. With a win today, the third place will be safe for them if they lose their last 5 what no one expect anyway but if Kaiserslautern lose on Monday they are promoted. Ingolstadt can be also very relaxed about the situation with 35 points they are far away from relegation trouble and they are 9 points ahead of this places. But nevertheless their aim is to get 40 points plus but in their last matches they are not in such good form and they won not much, also their personal decisions are a bit heavy so that the players are not working as team now. Huge trouble there and around what makes it not much easier for Coach Oral. Their negative run (3 loses in a row) has to end if they want to bring this season to a good end. But exactly at this time they face the giant from Berlin, who is for sure very difficult to play what makes it a difficult task for them to get back on track today.

Coach Oral changed his team on 7 positions last weekend but it brought nothing. They lost again. Nevertheless he wants to change huge again because with keeper Özcan and defender Schäfer are two players back who had to pause last with injury. No option for the starting eleven should be striker Eigler who is absolutely out of form after his injury. He needs some time to find back to normal level and thus only on bench. Also not clear is who field Oral on central midfield as Groß was not on his best level and had some weaker performances. He wants to think about and maybe give Leitl a chance here although they do not count on him for next season anyway.

Leader Hertha made a big step with the win against Braunschweig on Monday and they walk on now. It is only a matter of time when they are promoted. The starting lineup played well and so no major changes must be done by Coach Luhukay. Ok, he has to do some as with Niemeyer and Pekarik are two starters out with injuries. This means that on central midfield beside Kluge are one open place which can be taken from Morales while on the right wing are Janker or Ndjeng are options. In offensive no changes expected, Ronny is in good shape and their promotion hero but the others are also in good form and should be able to heap a lot of pressure on Ingolstadt’s defensive.

Overall this match is very different, Ingolstadt with a lot of problems at home, win not much while Hertha is one of the best away sides. This can give the advantage here and they can overcome Ingolstadt very easy above all their scoring efficiency is huge above from Ingolstadt. Let’s see what they bring on the field. Ingolstadt never won against Hertha but played the last two matches draw against.
