MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: DRAW
Duisburg have had a league campaign to forget, with the side sitting second from bottom with 22 points from 26 league matches. They are at least unbeaten in their last four league fixtures - a run which they achieved only twice so far this season - but three of those games have been draws along with only one win. Last weekend, Torsten Lieberknecht’s men claimed a point at Millerntor in an uneventful 0-0 draw with top three contenders St. Pauli. The Zebras are four points from guaranteed safety but they have still one league match in hand.
Ingolstadt are seemingly on their way to the third division. Rooted to the bottom of the table, the Schanzer are three points below Duisburg and have the joint worst away record in the league, winning a mere two of their 13 away league games (three draws, eight losses) and taking nine points in the process. The team have lost their last five league outings and fell to a 2-1 defeat on home soil against fellow relegation candidates Sandhausen last time out.
Both teams are running out of opportunities to save their second-tier status, with this relegation six-pointer presenting the ideal opportunity for them to grab three important points. I can see them cancelling each other out.
SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE - DUISBURG
Duisburg have scored first in their last four league meetings against Ingolstadt. Expect them to continue this trend.
HEAD TO HEAD
Duisburg are unbeaten in their last four league meetings with Ingolstadt, winning two and drawing two.
