• TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II and FC Ingolstadt 04 remain locked on 40 points apiece after 34 matches played in the 3rd division in 2025-2026, but the home side occupy 15th spot while Ingolstadt are in 14th.
• Hoffenheim II build from the back and create through the thirds, with youth development the aim of the game since Kleineheismann took over in July 2025.

Ingolstadt

• Ingolstadt have won five, drawn five and lost seven away league matches in 3.Liga 2025-2026.
• Sabrina Wittmann’s approach at Ingolstadt is more direct and vertical, with more focus on structure and efficiency, which has served them well since she took over in May 2024.
• They play wide and direct, with their counter attacks and set pieces providing them with opportunities to hurt opponents.

• Paul Hennrich has been Hoffenheim II’s creative spark in recent months, having provided three assists in his side’s last five matches, while Deniz Zeitler remains their biggest threat, scoring 15 goals in 34 league appearances this term.
• Marcel Costly is a similar force for Ingolstadt, scoring 13 league goals in 34 third division appearances this season.

Betting Insights

• Hoffenheim II have scored 28 goals in their 17 home matches this season, while Ingolstadt have scored 29 times in 17 away.
• Both teams can score and both teams will, and that’s our main bet at 1.34 because it’s so heavily supported.
• This tactical battle could see the ball-dominant home team up against it when they try to progress the ball forward, as Ingolstadt like to pack the box and invite the pressure.
• They are capable of counter-attacking and causing problems, and with Hoffenheim having drawn one and lost one in their last two at home, including a draw against FC Schweinfurt, we’ll take the away win here in the draw no bet market, even though 2.23 is a tad short.
