Ingolstadt 04 vs VfL Bochum Soccer Prediction of the Day
Ingolstadt had a very bad beginning of season but then it started to raise it form and before the winter break it occupied the fourth place, meaning they hoped to join the race for return to the Bundesliga, just one season after being relegated from it. However, they played much weaker in the second part of season and out of six rounds they won just once, against Furth at home. Ingolstadt drew two more matches and lost three, while it scored just one goal in those five matches.
It happened right in previous round when they lost in Duisburg 2-1, but they had a player less throughout the second half as Cohen was sent off. Ingolstadt also missed a penalty in the match and Kittel didn’t play as he was suspended. Manager Leitl had made number of other changes in the team, while now Kittel is back, but Cohen must stay on the bench.
Probable linups Ingolstadt: Nyland – Trasch, Schrock, M. Matip, Gaus – Morales, Pledl, Kittel, Thalhammer – Kutschke, Lezcano
From the beginning of season Bochum is positioned in the lower part of table. It had a brief good period, six-game unbeaten streak, although it drew four times. In that way Bochum paved its path toward the mid-table but then came another crisis and right now this team is at the boundary of drop zone. After the positive series Bochum lost four matches in a row, while the losing streak was ended with home victory over Darmstadt. Then again defeat in Heidenheim and drew with Nurnberg at home. Bochum is the least efficient team in the league; it scored just two goals in previous six rounds, both when they won Darmstadt 2-1.
Bochum received a goal half an hour before the end of match and it seemed that will lose again but they somehow turned the result up-side down. Before the match manager Rasiejewski was sacked and temp Butcher led the team toward victory. Robin Dutt was named new manager but he failed to win two previous matches. He refreshed the team in previous round with Celozzi and Wurtz, while now he might return Hinterseer in the top of attack.
Probable linups Bochum: Riemann – Celozzi, Hoogland, Fabian, Soares – Tesche, Losilla – Sam, Stoger, R. Kruse – Hinterseer
