FC Ingolstadt 04
- FC Ingolstadt 04 boss Sabrina Wittmann has been praised for her pragmatic approach since taking over at the club in May 2024 and her side have developed a strong, compact style that could be tough to break down on Saturday.
- Wittmann’s 4-4-2 is set up to be a disciplined and compact unit, capable of transitioning quickly from defence to attack, with their wide players looking to exploit half-spaces and keep the ball in the opposition half when possible.
-
Recent form:
- W2, D2, L1 in last five 3.Liga games.
- Split their last two at home (W1, L1).
- Arrive on the back of a convincing 3-0 win away to Jahn Regensburg three days ago.
VfB Stuttgart II
- VfB Stuttgart II boss Nico Willig, who has been in charge since July 2025, has taken a completely different approach to his opposite number on Saturday, fostering a youthful, possession-based style that rotates players in a fluid manner and looks to press opponents at high tempo.
-
Recent form:
- W2, D1, L2 in their last five matches.
- Suffered a 0-4 home defeat to MSV Duisburg two days ago.
Head-to-Head
Although Stuttgart II have the edge in the head-to-head record, we’re swerving the draw at 3.7 with the bookmakers currently making Ingolstadt 04 the slight favourites at 2.3 and Stuttgart II at 2.75 , with the visitors looking a little overpriced considering they were beaten 4-0 at home just two days ago.
Key Players
- Marcel Costly is the best value bet for an anytime goal with eight goals in 20 3.Liga appearances in 2025/26, four of their last 11.
- Mansour Ouro-Tagba is the focal point of Stuttgart II's attack with six goals in 15 league appearances, two of their last five.
Betting Insights
However, with Ingolstadt having the momentum after an impressive win in Regensburg and Stuttgart II having a steady away form in the 3.Liga ( W4, D3, L3 ), we’re looking for goals on the Over 2.5 goals line.
