MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Ingolstadt really seem to have found their form recently, with a 0-0 draw away at leaders Holstein Kiel in round 15 another welcome result. Stefan Leitl’s men have suffered only one defeat in their last ten 2. Bundesliga games, while they have also won their last three home matches. Sonny Kittel has picked up seven goals and four assists and has played an important part in the last eight games for them so far. Goals haven’t been a problem for the team as in their last four games alone they have scored six, while overall they have amassed 24 strikes.

Braunschweig are coming off a disappointing home game against Nurnberg in which they were unable to hold a 2-1 lead. They now have to travel south to Ingolstadt, having failed to win their last eight games on their travels, while they have also conceded at least one in seven of them. Braunschweig have also only picked up just three wins in 15 league matches. A more positive aspect of the statistics for them is however that they have lost only one of the last six – creating chances doesn’t seem to be a problem for them, but it is what they do with those shots on target that counts.

Ingolstadt are on fire and they should continue to be dominant at home. Home win.

SECOND PREDICTION: CORRECT SCORE – 2-1

Ingolstadt’s impressive goalscoring form should be enough to hand them another home win. They average two in their last five home games while Braunschweig have scored exactly one in four of their last six away matches. The hosts should win this match 2-1.

HEAD TO HEAD

Ingolstadt won their previous home match against Braunschweig by a 1-0 scoreline in October 2014.
