Ingolstadt form and stats

2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the 3. Liga numbers at home for Ingolstadt so far this season.

A strong away win for Ingolstadt against 1860 München the last match, as Schmidt and Costly were on target. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Rehm when Schmidt scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Zwickau that ended 0-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Ingolstadt's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 8 games, won 5 matches, drawn 3 and lost 0.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ingolstadt here at Audi-Sportpark in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 5 games). From these home matches, Ingolstadt have conceded only 3 goals.

Meppen form and stats

0-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Meppen in their 3. Liga matches away.

Meppen aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 209 league minutes without a goal. Pourie was the last player to find the net.

Meppen have lots to rectify after their surprise loss (0-1) to Bayreuth in their previous outing, played in front of their own supporters.

Prior to that match, the Meppen manager Krämer faced defeat when travelling to Erzgebirge Aue and losing 0-3.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Meppen when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 3 times, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Meppen as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. The Meppen manager Krämer has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Ingolstadt one win, two draws and Meppen one victory. As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
