FC Ingolstadt (home)
- Ingolstadt are winless in their last 3 home league games (D1, L2).
- Ingolstadt have conceded 2.33 goals per home game in the 3. Liga.
- Ingolstadt are 14th in the 3. Liga table with 8 points from 7 games, which is a fairly mediocre mid-table place but they could still end up in the relegation play-off if things go badly.
- Die Schanzer have lost their last 2 matches, falling 1-2 at home to Hoffenheim II and losing 3-0 away to Viktoria Köln.
- Achim Beierlorzer has been in charge since 25 September 2026, his press-first, high-pressing 4-1-4-1 or 4-1-3-2 system has been effective at turning opponents over but Die Schanzer are conceding too many goals to be contenders.
SV Wehen Wiesbaden (away)
- SV Wehen Wiesbaden are a low-priced 19th in the 3. Liga with only 5 points from 7 games and the alarm bells are ringing early for the Rot-Schwarzen.
- Jochen Seitz took over on 23 September 2026 and he has overhauled the system and increased the intensity in training, but the results have not been great.
- Wehen have won just 1 of their last 5, drawing 2 and losing 2, and that puts them right on the edge of relegation with another poor result.
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head record looks like the way to go as both teams have been so inconsistent this season that form is of little use.
- Wehen have won 3 of the last 5 meetings, including a 2-1 victory at their place in the 3. Liga 2025/2026, while Ingolstadt have won just 1 and 1 ended level.
- There will be a tight tactical battle on Sunday as Ingolstadt will try to get into the Wehen defensive line and force turnovers, while Rot-Schwarzen prefer more compact structures, overloading the wings and transitioning quickly.
- If the matchup holds, Wehen should be able to keep Ingolstadt at bay, but if the pace of the game increases, then there could be goals.
Key Players
- Lars Lokotsch has scored 3 goals in 7 3. Liga matches for Ingolstadt this term and he has scored 2 of their last 4 league goals, so the striker looks the best bet for an anytime goal.
- Moritz Flotho has 2 goals in 7 3. Liga appearances for Wehen and is their most reliable finisher.
Betting Insights
- FC Ingolstadt 04 are a slight favorite with the bookmakers at 2.55 to beat SV Wehen Wiesbaden, who are 3.0, on Sunday and that looks about right.
- The draw is 2.85 and looks very attractive given the matchup, but we will swerve it in favour of a home win.
- Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals will be favoured at 1.5 and 1.77 respectively, even if this is a tense encounter with a lot of tension, as we fancy Ingolstadt to just nick it.
