Ingolstadt (home)
- Ingolstadt are 10th in the 3.Liga table with 33 points from 24 games and the Schanzer are unbeaten in their last five league fixtures (W3, D2) ahead of Saturday’s home game against 19th placed Havelse (19 points from 24).
- The Schanzer are proactive in the possession of the ball and are often able to trigger quick transitions with their aggressive pressing game, especially when playing at home.
- The Bavarians have won 4, drawn 4 and lost just 3 of their 11 home league games this season, but they will need to improve on a current run of two consecutive draws to take all the points here.
Havelse (away)
TSV Havelse have struggled on their travels this season with just one win in 11 3.Liga road trips (D3, L7) and Samir Ferchichi’s men will need to be very careful if they are to avoid being cut to ribbons by this Ingolstadt side.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record between these two sides is relatively sparse, but Ingolstadt crushed Havelse 6-2 away in 3.Liga five months ago.
Key Players
- Marcel Costly is Ingolstadt’s main danger man with ten goals in 24 league appearances, three in his last five.
- Lorenzo Paldino is Havelse’s leading marksman with four in 23.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have Ingolstadt 1.67, the draw 4.0 and Havelse 4.6.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.48 is a strong alternative market given Ingolstadt concede on average 1.27 goals per 3.Liga home match (14 in total) and Havelse have shipped 25 in 11 away games.
Prediction
With Havelse in the midst of a two-game losing streak and Ingolstadt in much superior form, this should be a home win for Ingolstadt.
