Ingolstadt – Stuttgart

Ingolstadt 04 will play host to VFB Stuttgart at Audi Sportpark in an evenly matched clash, counting for the 26th round of the German 1.Bundesliga.

Ingolstadt had a remarkable season so far and with the rounds winding up, it’s clear that they are hear to stay and will not fade away at the end. The hosts are currently on the 9th place, undefeated in the last 4 rounds and suffering just 2 defeats in 2016 – both on the road, against Dortmund and Wolfsburg, each time 0-2. Defense has been by far the main reason for Ingolstadt’s success, as they allowed just 26 goals in 25 matches so far. Their offense is by far the worst in the league, with only 19 goals scored.

Stuttgart is on the back of a 5-1 win against Hoffenheim, one of the best matches played by VFB this season. The visitors did well to bounce back with such a result after previously losing 0-4 at Gladbach. Stuttgart has been decent in 2016, they managed to win some games and get out of the relegation zone, currently sitting on the 11th place. Their offense is working very well, but they are still leaky at the back.

Stuttgart has been involved in plenty of high scoring matches this year and they are definitely a free flowing, goal friendly side. However, they won`t be allowed to play their usual game in this clash. Ingolstadt is the home team and will be able to impose their rhythm, slow the game down, like they always do. The hosts are well aware of Stuttgart’s offensive threat so expect them to sit back and defend with extraordinary focus.

When the two teams met earlier this season it was a 1-0 Stuttgart win in an uneventful match, a match that should have finished 0-0 or 1-1. It started well with a number of chances, including an Ingolstadt missed penalty, but after 15 minutes it became a bore. The DNA of these two sides has not changed, so I expect another low scoring clash here. I also don`t expect Ingolstadt to lose, but my bet will be on goals. Odds are great for the under, so my tip is that we will see a score of under 2,5 goals. Prediction: Ingolstadt – Stuttgart 0-0.
