Ingolstadt vs Bochum Betting Predictions

When talking about the ominous home advantage in football, the psyche of the players in this issue must also be treated. Why do equal-strength teams receive lower odds in direct duels at home? The course is just as big every time, the ball and the goals as well. Nevertheless, yes, there is this home advantage. This is clear when looking at the numbers. All the more astonishing is the record of FC Ingolstadt in the current season. The Schanzer have brought home seven counters, while they have scored nine times in foreign countries. This is an absolute exception and only Duisburg and HSV were also more successful abroad than at home. What can this be? For one, chance plays a role in 18 teams. On the other hand, the mental pressure, especially at FC Ingolstadt, should not be neglected. The last few weeks have been a prime example of this. The Chaos Club, in which Jens Keller is already trying his luck with the fourth trainer in this season, was able to win important threes in Fürth and Aue in 2019, while the only home game against Magdeburg was lost.

Today’s Football Prediction Ingolstadt vs Bochum

Now for Ingolstadt vs Bochum finally the knot burst and the prediction is allowed that this will succeed also the Upper Bavaria. With the 3: 0 in the Erzgebirge Keller’s team has proven long-term that it is actually better than it seems their table space. With VfL Bochum on Saturday, an opponent travels to the Audi sports park, which seems beatable and grateful. The VfL has lost twice in a row and has to shelve his promotion dreams. Whether the guests from the Ruhr area can still motivate, will show. In any case, Ingolstadt against Bochum, we predict, has a great chance of liberation; the odds for a tip on the home win have not fallen in vain in the last few days. Meanwhile, the FCI is the clear favorite among bookmakers and with a bet on the Schanzer should not wait too long before the offer is even worse. The game starts on Saturday afternoon at 13:00.

Ingolstadt – Statistics & Current Form

Up and down again and again – what is one of the big party hits in the Rhineland during the carnival time, feels for the fans of FC Ingolstadt this season not necessarily happy. The roller coaster ride seems to continue after the catastrophic Hinserie in 2019, although there is hope for improvement. Nobody in Upper Bavaria still trusts the roast so much after the strong performance in Aue on the last match day. Already the start into the calendar year in Fürth succeeded, after which the hope was great that the ambitious club finally freed itself from the predicament in the table cellar. But at home in the home game against Magdeburg the new low blow with a 0: 1. The team of Jens Keller showed the right reaction and took in the Erzgebirge a sovereign threesome and put in the 3-0 against the violets probably the best season appearance.

Now it is time to finally bring home a sense of achievement with the tried and tested fans in the back. The second threesome in the second half should give the team the necessary certainty and self-confidence, this time to call the performance at home. Coach Keller is very likely to bet on the same starting eleven as in Aue so as not to unnecessarily mess up the fragile team structure. The coach of the FCI may still have to make a change if Almog Cohen, whose commitment is still on the loose, not fit in time for the start of Saturday’s game. Otherwise, as mentioned, there are no changes, which also means that Jonatan Kotzke gets another probation chance in central defense. The 28-year-old had to step in last week and has recommended a hit directly for higher tasks. He will play again alongside Mergim Mavraj.

Expected formation of Ingolstadt:
Tschauner – Paulsen, Lotzke, Mavraj, Paul Otavio – Krauße, Träsch, Cohen, Pledl, Kittel – Lezcano

Bochum – Statistics & Current Form

Was that the dream of promotion at VfL Bochum? After the 1: 2 home against Paderborn, it seems as if the focus in the Ruhr could be put early on the future planning for the next season. Already the 0: 3 in Sandhausen two weeks ago was a heavy stroke of the neck, the home defeat against the Ostwestfalen now did the rest. Robin Dutt faces no easy task on Castroper Street. He has to make the tightrope act, to develop his team in the long term, without losing the tension in the current league operation. The danger is already there, that the players in the gray midfield and without a view up or down a little lose the tension. Since then the great quality in the squad helps nothing, which is undoubtedly present at VfL. Offensively there is a lot of quality with Lukas Hinterseer, Sidney Sam and Simon Zoller, which, however, was rarely available.

Where are you going Bochum? This question will be answered in the next few weeks. For the away game in Ingolstadt coach Robin Dutt also has a few additional staff problems. In addition to the injured players Pantovic, Akincier, Eisfels, Bandowski, Leitsch, Fabian and Baack, the coach is also missing Silvere Ganvoula because of a red card suspension. On the other hand, the second best scorer of the season with Tom Weilandt could return to the squad. Behind his commitment, however, is still a small question mark. Another change is conceivable in the back four. Celozzi has no bad prospects there to replace Jan Gyamerah on the outside. The 23-year-old will leave the club anyway in the summer to Hamburg, which is not conducive to his personal motivation.

Expected formation of Bochum:
Riemann – Gyamerah, Baumgartner, Hoogland, Danilo – Losilla, Tesche, Zoller, Lee, Sam – Hinterseer

Last matches from Bochum:

  • 09.02.2019 – Bochum Vs. Paderborn 1: 2 (2nd Bundesliga)
  • 03.02.2019 – SV Sandhausen Vs. Bochum 3: 0 (2nd Bundesliga)
  • 29.01.2019 – Bochum Vs. Duisburg 2: 1 (2nd Bundesliga)
  • 23.01.2019 – Cologne vs. Bochum 2: 1 (club friendlies)
  • 19.01.2019 – Bochum Vs. Dynamo Kiev 0: 3 (Club Friendlies)

Ingolstadt vs Bochum Direct Comparison & Statistics Highlights

The direct comparison between Ingolstadt vs Bochum confirms the tip in the direction of the hosts. Finally, the Schanzer lead in head to head with 7: 5 victories. First, the points were shared in the total of 13 duels. A plus point for the guests, however, is clearly the result from the first leg. With 6: 0 the VfL finished the Upper Bavaria at home and showed probably the best game of the season. Hintersser, Kruse and Weilandt provided clear conditions after just 20 minutes. In the second game Luke Hinterseer then tied a three-pack and also allowed to register Anthony Losilla in the scoresheet. Some players at the FCI will probably haunt this result in the back of their minds. On Saturday there is at least the chance for revenge.

Ingolstadt vs Bochum Betting Prediction Explained

There are several reasons why the pairing Ingolstadt vs. Bochum a prediction is incredibly difficult to meet. The tables position of the clubs and the form are in opposite directions. In addition, both teams are not known for great consistency, so the day shape will have a big impact on the outcome of the game. The momentum speaks unquestionably for the Schanzer who want to improve their black home record at last. After the strong away appearance in Aue, the second threesome can even make it to the non-relegation places. This should be enough motivation for the eleven of Jens Keller to throw everything in the balance. On the other hand, exactly this motivation at VfL may be the big problem. Bochum has slipped into the no-man’s land of the table as a result of the two recent defeats and it will be hard for Robin Dutt to continue to motivate his protected to the tips of their hair.
