Jena vs Ingolstadt Prediction & Betting tips
Three seasons ago, FC Ingolstadt was still a member of the first Bundesliga. Meanwhile, the Schanzer arrived in the 3rd league. Now the FCI wants to create the direct re-emergence. But after the big change the way becomes rocky and heavy. Many second division relegated took a long time to find their way in the 3rd league. In many cases, the ascent train was already exhausted after the familiarization phase. How is Ingolstadt doing in the third highest German soccer class?
For kick-off into the new season waits with FC Carl Zeiss Jena a thoroughly unpleasant opponent to the Schanzer. Jena had made the league by an incredible final sprint with six wins from the last seven games. This season, the FCC would like to play a carefree season, but even with the Thuringians the upheaval was great.
As the only match on the first match day of the 3rd league are Jena Vs. Ingolstadt the odds on the away team lower than the home team. The betting base sees in their conclusion also the guests in front and sets in the duel Jena.
Jena:
After the 31st Matchday of the season 2018/19 FC Carl Zeiss Jena was with 28 points on the penultimate place in league three. The distance to the saving bank was eight meters. Coach Lukas Kwasniok was also close to dismissal. But then came the final spurt with six wins from seven games. At the end of the season Jena finished in 14th place, one point ahead of the first relegation place. Despite the successful rescue, the Thuringians made the necessary changes.
With Manfred Starke (Kaiserslautern), Maximilian Wolfram (Ingolstadt) and Phillip Tietz (Wehen Wiesbaden) left three top performers the club. In the case of new entrants, the club relied on players who did not get the move elsewhere. Among them are Flemming Niemann (Augsburg), Nico Hammann (Magdeburg), Patrick Schorr (Aalen), Tim Kircher (KSC), Marian Sarr (Aalen), Maximilian Rohr (SGV Freiberg), Ole Käuper (Werder Bremen), Anton Donkor ( Wolfsburg), Daniele Gabriele (Wacker Innsbruck), Kilian Pagliuca (Hallescher FC) and Meris Skenderovic (TSG Hoffenheim).
In preparation, the team completed eight friendly matches: 14: 0 against Chemistry Triptis, 18: 0 against SV Rothenstein, 9: 0 against the LSV 49 Oettersdorf, 17: 0 against Mellenbach-Sitzendorf, 2: 2 against Nuremberg II, 0: 0 against Usti nad Labem, 3: 4 against Jahn Regensburg and 4: 2 against Germania Halberstadt. Against Regensburg Jena had already led 3-1, but lost the game in the end but still. Lukas Kwasniok played in the midfield with a diamond in preparation. In addition, the coach returns from the successful defensive tactic, with which the club had made it to the league at the end of last season. From now on, more focus should be placed on playful elements.
Maximilian Rohr has to suspend the first three games because he saw the red card in the last game for Freiberg because of a referee’s refusal. Whether Marius Grösch gets fit in time is still unclear. Julian Günther-Schmidt, who has since been firmly committed to a loan from FC Augsburg, is still out. Despite home advantage Jena has against Ingolstadt according to the bookmakers the worse chances of winning the upcoming game.
Ingolstadt:
In a survey of all third-division coaches after the number one favorite on the rise called twelve coaches the FC Ingolstadt. Even the bookmakers see the FCI in the championship question before the start of the season ahead. In the club itself, the resurgence was not spent as a goal. You do not really want to be a favorite. From official source it means, one wants to arrive first in the league. This modesty makes perfect sense. Only rarely succeed the Zweitligaabsteigern the direct return.
17 players left the FCI before the new season, including key players such as Almog Cohen, Sonny Kittel, Mergim Mavraj and Dario Lezcano. With 13 new players, a new squad was created. Among the new additions are Maximilian Beister (Uerdingen), Caniggia Elva (Würzburg), Peter Kurzweg (Würzburg) and Maximilian Wolfram (Carl Zeiss Jena). In addition, talents like Thomas Keller should get a real chance. Also on the coach chair there was a change.
Thomas Oral, who had taken over the team until April 2, left the Schanzer again with the descent. In the new season Ingolstadt goes with Jeff Saibene, who trained from March 2017 to December 2018 Arminia Bielefeld and the club at the end of the season 2017/18 had led to fourth place. The former assistant coach Michael Henke took over at the FCI now the office of Director Sport.
Before the start of the season Schanzer completed six friendly matches: 5: 0 against 1860 Rosenheim, 3: 1 against St. Pölten, 4: 3 against Eichstätt, 3: 0 against Garching, 0: 3 against St. Pauli and 1: 1 against Lugano. The Luxembourg coach relies on aggressive pressing. In the preparation it haperte after winning the ball but still the last pass and compelling chances to score. Fabijan Buntic has won the race against Marco Knaller for the time being. Not available are the injured Maximilian Thalhammer and Caniggia Elva.
