Prediction
- FC Ingolstadt 04 and Viktoria Koln 1904 could put on a good soccer match for the fans at the Audi Sportpark on Wednesday when two teams who are difficult to figure out meet in the 3.Liga 2025-2026.
- Ingolstadt’s home problems remain despite sitting 13th in 3.Liga 2025-2026 because they haven’t won any of their last 3 at home, losing two.
- Koln have had a disastrous run of four defeats in five, but beat Hansa Rostock 3-2 on their travels last time out, so we think Ingolstadt can just edge a lively contest.
