MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN
Aue are just nine points above rock-bottom Ingolstadt after their league game against giants Cologne last weekend was called off due to snow. Having enjoyed a week's rest, Daniel Meyer’s side are going into this league match having lost only one, drawn two and won two of their last five in the German second division. However, their most recent league outing was a 1-0 defeat away at struggling Magdeburg in an East German derby. The team have generally been stronger at home though, where they have secured 15 of their 22 points and are unbeaten in their last three league games (one win, two draws).
These are without doubt worrying times for Ingolstadt, who have lost ten, drawn five and won only one of their last 16 league fixtures. The Schanzer have picked up a mere five from a possible 21 points. Last week, they fell to a disappointing 1-0 home defeat against Magdeburg and they are now four points from safety.
Aue have started to show signs of life, but I am going to take a risk and side with the visitors here. The side are desperate for points and find themselves under a considerable amount of pressure. Back the Schanzer to return to south Bavaria with all three points.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO – LOW
Five of the teams' last six league meetings at Erzgebirgs-Stadium have ended in a low-scoring match. I expect this trend to continue.
HEAD TO HEAD
Aue have won just once in their last six league meetings with Ingolstadt, losing two and drawing three.
