Nurnberg vs Ingolstadt Prediction & Betting tips
Nuremberg – Ingolstadt, both teams have more or less openly the Bundesliga in view. While the 1st FC Nuremberg is third in the Upper Bavarian Franconian Derby, the FC Ingolstadt travels only in seventh with five points less to the Noris, but has a clearly positive trend.
Only four times met each other clubs – 2008/09 and 2014/15 respectively in the 2nd Bundesliga. Nuremberg is unbeaten in three wins and a draw against the Schanzer and won both previous home games with one goal difference (2: 1 and 1: 0).
Nurnberg :
The 1. FC Nuremberg has after a strong preparation with victories against 1. FC Kaiserslautern (3: 0) and SSV Jahn Regensburg (1: 0) and in the DFB Cup at MSV Duisburg (2: 1) put a furious season start and also the 2: 2 then against the 1st FC Union Berlin was a decent result. Unlike the subsequent bankruptcies at Erzgebirge Aue (1: 3) and against FC St. Pauli (0: 1), after which the club but with victories again at MSV Duisburg (6: 1), against VfL Bochum (3 : 1) and in the SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3: 1) reported the best. A 1: 2 against Arminia Bielefeld was then another setback, but the SV Darmstadt 98 (4: 3) and against Dynamo Dresden (2: 1) and in the DFB Cup at VfL Osnabrück (3: 2) but again three wins followed. It will be interesting to see if the FCN have the right answer for the 1-0 draw at 1. FC Heidenheim.
Club coach Michael Köllner changes tactics and personnel often anyway, but after the bankruptcy of Heidenheim conversions are even more likely. However, there are still the long-term injured Sebastian Kerk, Dennis Lippert and Adam Zrelak.
Probable lineup: Kirschbaum – Margreitter, Ewerton, Mühl – Valentini, Erras, Behrens, Leibold – Möhwald – Teuchert, Ishak
Ingolstadt:
After relegation from the Bundesliga, FC Ingolstadt have also made a bad start, and the first three matches against 1. FC Union Berlin (0: 1), SV Sandhausen (0: 1) and SSV Jahn Regensburg (2-4) all lost, interrupted only by a 2-1 victory in the DFB Cup at TSV 1860 Munich. The false start cost coach Maik Walpurgis the job. Stefan Leitl, previously at the U23, initially took over interim and has since been promoted to head coach. With a 1-0 win at SpVgg Greuther Fürth Leitl started well, but initially the Schanzer remained in the games against Erzgebirge Aue (1: 2), the FC St. Pauli (4-0), against the MSV Duisburg (2 : 2) and at VfL Bochum (0: 2) little constant. Starting with a 3: 0 against SV Darmstadt 98 Ingolstadt but apparently in the track. Since then, followed by a 2: 2 at Dynamo Dresden and three victories against 1. FC Heidenheim (3: 0), in the Cup at SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3: 1) and Arminia Bielefeld (3: 1).
Although coach Leitl is currently free from injury worries, he will have to do without Marcel Gaus, who is suspended after his yellow-red card in Bielefeld, for which Paulo Otavio could start. Further changes are unlikely.
Probable lineup: Nyland – Levels, Matip, Wahl, Paulo Otavio – Cohen, Träsch, Morales – Pledl, Kittel – Kutschke
