MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Having picked up a 4-2 league win in a relegation six-pointer with Duisburg in the league last time out, Ingolstadt still stay the bottom of the table, but just one point behind Duisburg. Nevertheless, at five points from safety and having spent the vast majority of the season in the drop zone, Ingolstadt look destined for relegation to the third tier. Since sealing a 2-1 win over Bochum two month ago, Ingolstadt have lost five and won only one of their last six league fixtures. Meanwhile, the Schanzer have the second worst home record in the division, picking up a woeful ten points from a possible 42.
Holstein Kiel moved into fifth thanks to a resounding 2-1 home league win over rivals St. Pauli last time out. Despite playing with a numerical disadvantage and going into the break one goal down, the Storks reversed the score in the second half and have responded well after their 4-0 thrashing by leaders Cologne two weeks ago. However, Holstein Kiel head to Audi Sportpark having lost their last two away league matches.
Ingolstadt need to get their act together quickly and build on last weekend’s victory. I think they will throw everything at this league game in an attempt to retain their second-division status. Back the Schanzer to claim a rare home win.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO - HIGH
There have been a staggering of ten total league goals in the last two meetings between the sides. Meanwhile, Ingolstadt have found the net four times in their last league outing while Holstein Kiel have one of the best attack in the division with 53 goals. I can see plenty of total goals here.
HEAD TO HEAD
The teams have met just three times over the last two years, with Holstein Kiel winning one and the other two ending in draws.
