Jahn Regensburg - FC Ingolstadt 04

The situation is clear, Regensburg is almost relegated, sure not yet but they never can turn this around with an open gap from 9 points to place 16 and only 5 matches remaining. Hope is always there until it is clear but sooner or later they have to bring all their power on the way to build up some plans for 3.Bundesliga season. On the other side Ingolstadt is not safe yet and they need still some points to be absolutely safe and it looks good as their form going up in the past matches and more and more the fun returns to them.

Not much has changed till last week, again a lot of problems for Coach Smuda because he has to replace Rahn, Lauritio, Djuricin, Nachreiner, Kotzke, Kurz and Altinay. A lot for a small club with a close squad. New in this listed players above is Nachreiner who booked and is suspended here. This means that they must changes again in defensive row and all these changes do not make it better or give them more stability. Nevertheless they want to fight and show that they are able to bring a good performance on the pitch. This is almost their last squad available and more problems with scoring and defending arrive. They are not able to score more than one goal in the past matches, how should you win matches then or because they conceded in almost all matches in the past, it is hard even for them.

I wrote it already above, Ingolstadt is not safe with their 36 points, they are only 8 points ahead of the drop zone and if they lose this one and Bochum / Dresden win it gets dangerous. So it is very good that they are on the way back to their normal strength now. They had a weak period where they are not able to bring something on the pitch and therefore they are closer to drop zone now as they want. But overall they are positive again now after their point against league giant Hertha BSC and looking forward to this bavaria derby. Additional a good sign for them is that all players are available for Coach Oral and he can choose what he thinks to be the best choice for this encounter. Only missing is midfielder Roger who is suspended but he can be replaced, so no problem.

Regensburg with a lot of problems sure wants to invest all in this derby but I doubt that they are able and with one of the better away teams as opponent it can be very hard for them anyway. Ingolstadt was only beaten on the road from Top Teams like Cologne, Kaiserslautern and Braunschweig. Ok, the last lose was against Aalen but they were not much weaker in this one, it was more even or maybe on their side but lost a bit unlucky. I am confident that they are not losing this derby and I like the DNB here.
