It's early days in the 3. Liga and both Ingolstadt and Verl are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Ingolstadt form and stats
Only two 3. Liga home games for Ingolstadt so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Stress levels are on the rise for Ingolstadt's attacking players as they have now played 202 minutes without scoring in a league game. S. Kutschke was their last goal scorer.
In their previous game, the manager T. Oral led his Ingolstadt to a defeat in the 3. Liga match away at Viktoria Koln. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Audi-Sportpark. Preceding that match was a defeat to Unterhaching (0-1).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ingolstadt have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won zero times, drawn five and lost three.
Ingolstadt are traveling soon after this match as the 3. Liga match at Kaiserslautern awaits in four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Ingolstadt at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Verl form and stats
Four points from two away games for Verl, meaning one draw and one victory in the 3. Liga so far.
Verl's previous game was their home loss versus Hansa Rostock (2-3). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Meppen at their stadium, the result 2-1.
Verl are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of three matches.
A new game in only three days for Verl, the 3. Liga home match versus Magdeburg. Busy days.
2 goals so far away for Verl, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.
