Ingolstadt vs Viktoria Koln Prediction & Betting tips
The coach carousel in League 3 continues to spin and feels faster and faster. FCK parted ways with Jeff Saibene after last weekend, while MSV Duisburg introduced a new man on the sidelines in Pavel Dotchev. Dotchev was recently dismissed from Viktoria Köln and the Rhinelander have also found a new trainer.
On Saturday, Olaf Janßen, who was under contract with the Hohenbergers three years ago, will celebrate his debut this season and his team is facing a difficult task at the table runner-up from Ingolstadt.
The Schanzer are the strongest team in League 3 at home and are therefore classified as a clear favorite by the best bookmakers. This assessment seems a little very clear when the last fluctuating performance of Upper Bavaria is considered. The match in the Audi Sportpark will kick off on Saturday afternoon at 13:00 p.m.
Ingolstadt :
With the 1-0 win against SpVgg Unterhaching, FC Ingolstadt fought their way back to second place. Success in the derby was incredibly important after two games without a win in order not to lose touch with the top positions. After failing in the relegation in the preseason, the FCI wants to make it back to the lower house this time. Returning Caiuby, who recently won the match against SpVgg with his golden goal, should help.
On Saturday, the next three-point will take place on home turf after the last game at home against Halle (1: 1) was not won. Overall, Thomas Oral’s team was able to rely on their home strength this season and the FCI is in first place in the home table. The personnel situation in Upper Bavaria has also improved in recent weeks. With Marcel Gaus (training deficit) and Jonatan Kotzke (aductor problems) only two players are missing from the squad on Saturday due to injuries.
This is not intended to discourage hosts from taking one more step toward promotion. The tactical formation is based on the established 4-4-2 system, which has worked very well in the recent past. From the attacking duo Eckert Ayensa / Kutschke, Eckert Ayensa in particular is in very good form with four goals from the last six games. The more experienced Kutschke is particularly fond of scoring at home and the 32-year-old has been on the list of goalscorers in four of the last seven home games.
This offensive goal hunger, paired with the stable defensive (only three goals conceded in five games in 2021) makes a prognosis in the direction of the home side possible between Ingolstadt and Viktoria Köln.
Viktoria Koln :
Viktoria Koln has been waiting for a victory in the league since the beginning of December (2-1 against 1860 Munich). In the league 3 table, the club from the south of the cathedral city slipped to 14th place and is only three points above the line. Those responsible for the association pulled the rip cord and after Pavel Dotchev’s dismissal, interim coach Daniel Zillken sat on the bench in Wiesbaden.
The cancellation of the game against Mannheim last weekend was very helpful to the club bosses, as they had more time to find a new (and old) trainer. Olaf Janßen should now manage to turn things around and the coach was very satisfied with the training impressions of his protégés at the press conference. He wants to take something countable with his debut in Upper Bavaria and relies on the great team spirit.
The instructor left open which personal changes he intends to make. With Alexander Hose, only one player is missing from the squad due to an injury and Janßen therefore has several options. Even if the opponent is very strong at home, the guests don’t have to hide. In ten away games, Viktoria only had to leave the place as a loser twice.
In the last three guest appearances, the Rhinelander took one point away and a draw at the Schanzern would certainly be a first step forward. In the pairing Ingolstadt vs. Viktoria Koln, a tip can be given on the odds of the underdog, as the away team is a little underestimated overall.
