Ingolstadt form and stats

With 2 2. Bundesliga wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, Ingolstadt are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Ingolstadt hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Erzgebirge Aue, Dynamo Dresden, Sandhausen, Hannover 96 and Ingolstadt), they have won 2 of 4 matches! The Ingolstadt manager Karg might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Ingolstadt suffered an unpredictable loss 0-4 against Hamburger SV in their previous outing, also played in front of their own fans. As you see from the result above, Ingolstadt suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Franke was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.01 out of 10. The defender Franke hit three key passes and won 6 of 9 duels.

Before that, Ingolstadt played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Karlsruher SC.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ingolstadt perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ingolstadt as a small favourite), we find eight games. Ingolstadt has won five of these, drawn one and lost two.

Ingolstadt have scored 12 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. Ingolstadt have conceded 29 from these games.

Hansa Rostock form and stats

As the visiting team in 2. Bundesliga matches, Hansa Rostock have produced an overall stat of 6-5-5 so far. When Hansa Rostock is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 3 of 4 matches. Erzgebirge Aue, Dynamo Dresden, Sandhausen, Hannover 96 and Hansa Rostock is teams we like to compare Ingolstadt with. Hansa Rostock have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Rostock delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Paderborn (placed 7th) in their previous fixture. Goalkeeper Kolke made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Paderborn. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Goalkeeper Kolke got the top player rating of the team with 8.85/10. Kolke topped it up with a clean sheet.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Erzgebirge Aue that ended 2-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hansa Rostock playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Hansa Rostock win, two draws and three defeats.
