VfR Aalen - FC Ingolstadt 04

Here meet two teams each other which lost both last weekend. For Aalen it is getting worse because they are already 2 Points behind the safe zone and in this case they must collect Points while Ingolstadt is still 5 Points ahead and are leader. Therefore they have not such problems at all.

This is the third year in 2.Bundesliga for Aalen now but this is the weakest so far. They are far away from good and the offensive weakness is a key fact for such a bad run and they are in red zone for the first time. All the other seasons they could stay away from such a bad scenario but this time it looks like that they are not able to solve it. With only 15 goals scored they have the most weak offensive in 2.BL and have scored 2015 nothing. In both games they failed, 0-0 to Darmstadt and 0-1 to Kaiserslautern. According to the long injured Lechleitner, Drexler and Daghfous are three important offensive players not available and makes it not much easier because the alternatives are less. Therefore new signing Ademi is the big hope for Aalen up front but he was far away from good recently. Coach Ruthenbeck wants to change a bit but what can he change, with less alternatives he must count on the same starting eleven compared to the last games. Against Kaiserslautern he has made some changes but maybe he move back again.

After the first defeat Ingolstadt made a big reaction and won the following 4 league matches what was far away from predicted downtrend from some experts. After the surprise defeat to bottom side Sandhausen at home they want to show the next reaction and get back on track immediately. It was not all bad and therefore Coach Hasenhüttl does not change all after this weak performance. But overall the alternatives are there and the pressure on the players are high at the moment. It can be that he changes some. It looks like that Hinterseer is back in starting lineup and what player is out for him is open. It can be Lex or Hartmann but Lex has some injury problems and it is not sure if he can play therefore the problem can be solved easy maybe. A good alternative is also Winter signing Pledl who is very hot to start today. It is also a big game for Coach Hasenhüttl, because he returns to his old club.

Both teams meet each other 10 times where Ingolstadt has with 10 wins, 2 draw and 3 defeats a clear advantage. From the last three meetings lost Ingolstadt none, last season they won 2-0 at home and played 0-0 in Aalen while the pre-game this season was a clear thing with 4-1 for Ingolstadt.
