FC Ingolstadt 04 - Karlsruher SC

A lot of pressure coming up for this home match because Ingolstadt started with two loses into this season and where not able to create much or finished some good actions. So they must start winning now if they do not want to stay longer at the bottom of the table and let the season be a very hard one. Their opponent KSC is unbeaten so far and they got a win at Frankfurt 1-0 and a draw against St. Pauli at home and their defensive is working well too because they kept in both a clean sheet. An interesting one ....

Last weekend they got some success with the advance in 1. Cup Round against an Amateur Team 4-1. But Ingolstadt has an absolutely big Sponsor in their back and they can react as fast as they can and after losing both matches in league they signed central midfielder Cohen from 1.FC Nürnberg and playmaker Hajnal from VfB Stuttgart. Both had gave good debuts and both should help to make them a bit stronger and better. The team looked a bit to young therefore they signed a bit older and experienced players who can lead the team beside Eigler. Coach Kurz is very happy about them and they are for sure in starting lineup today. On the other positions all is open and more and more changes expected. Danny da Costa is suspended today, so Morales can move back on his position while Knasmüller can play in central midfield beside Cohen. Also Roger played bad in Cup as defender and should be on bench while Gunesch replace him. In offensive all the same maybe, only youngster Hofmann could make some advertising for oneself with 3 goals in 2nd team from Ingolstadt who plays in Regional Bavaria.

KSC started well in League but knocked out in Cup against Wolfsburg. Sure they played well but they were not able to stop Wolfsburg. At some time they was very good in the match and made some good actions but overall if it was close, Wolfsburg put in the next gear. But nevertheless they got a lot of self confidence out of this match and looking forward to the next tasks. The defensive block should be the same as in the past, did they kept in both a clean sheet and they stand very well in these matches. Only, maybe in midfield some changes where Yabo could take advantage over Varnhagen. Also very hot is Micanski for this match, was he the one who were in Ingolstadt on loan last half of the season but got not many minutes there. So he wants to show some but it is very doubtful as he is ill at the moment and if he is not able to play, Rowen Hennings gets his place in starting lineup.
