Kaiserslautern - Ingolstadt Prediction, Picks and Tips
Kaiserslautern vs. Ingolstadt - that somehow does not sound like third division football. However, both clubs have been through difficult years and now have to take the hard detour to fight back into the lower house in the 20s field of league 3 in the short to medium term. Especially at the FCI the descent in the preseason came as a surprise and the Schanzer want as fast as possible back to the second division. The kick-off has the team of the new coach Jeff Saibene once well done. With two wins, the FCI ranks second in the table. Directly followed are the Oberbayern of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, which stands at four counters. Thus, early in the season on the Betzenberg a real top game instead. Depending on the result of the front runner Braunschweig, who competes at the same time in Jena, the winner of the game can jump to first place. The motivation should therefore be present among the teams, in the middle of the English week to throw everything in the pan to leave the place on Tuesday evening as the winner. Despite the home advantage of Kaiserslautern against Ingolstadt, the odds for a home win are slightly higher than for a threesome of the guests. The Schanzer are thus going to be a wafer-thin favorite in the game, although the FCK has always looked very good in the past with this pairing. With 6: 2 leads Kaiserslautern against Ingolstadt and a successful tip on the home side would extend this positive balance from the perspective of the red devil. The match will be kicked off on Tuesday evening at 18:00. At the end of this English week, Lautern will meet Preußen Münster, while the Schanzers are awaiting the Würzburger Kickers at Audi Sportpark. Then it goes on in the DFB Cup.
A decent end of the season, a good preparation with Testspielsiegen among others against second division and some well-known new additions make the fans of the financially troubled traditional club hope for a good season. None of the new, Janik Bachmann, Manfred Starke or Philipp Hercher, made the decision in the second season game after the 1-1 draw against Unterhaching. It was the well-known names Timmy Thiele and Florian Pick. Especially Pick could shine with his goals this season two or three and is thus the great hope for the FCK fans. He will also try against Ingolstadt on the left wing to provide for Torgefahr. The 3: 1 victory at the SG Sonnenhof Großaspach was not only important for the points account, but especially for coach Sascha Hildmann something special, as he had to compete against his former club, which he coached last season. Now Hildmann has a new task. He should lead the red devils back to their old strength and at best straight to the second league. After hearing slight whistles already after the first home game against Haching (1: 1), it quickly became clear how great the pressure and the expectations of the environment are. All the more important in comparison to the last season a good start to the season, which should be continued with a successful English week now. That Kaiserslautern against Ingolstadt in the odds of bookmakers is traded as a slight underdog, the coach is very accommodating. He can take a bit of pressure off the shoulders of his charges, which was often helpful at home on the bench.
The FC Ingolstadt has a real roller coaster ride in the preseason behind it, which found in the end no happy ending. Despite strong catching up with Thomas Oral and a victory in the first leg of the relegation stood at the end of the descent into league 3, in which the Upper Bavarians now want to risk a fresh start. The necessary staff for the direct return to the Second League is undoubtedly available. Some important players have survived the club, such as attackers Stefan Kutschke, Marcel Gauss or Björn Paulsen. Together with the new Peter Kurzweg, Maximilian Beister or Maximilian Wolfram they form a powerful team, which is clearly one of the promotion favorites. With Maximilian Thalhammer and Tobias Schröck, both injured at the moment, soon more quality returns to the squad. This has already been honored on the first two matchdays. At the start in Jena, the Schanzer still needed the energetic support of the home team, which provided two own goals for the 2-1 away win, but in the end, the three points were fixed - that's the point now. Then followed the first appearance at home in the duel of the relegated against Duisburg. Once again, the FCI had the deciding point of luck (even in refereeing decisions) on his side and won 3: 2. Stefan Kutschke took the Schanzer in halftime 1 in the lead. In turn number two, Maximilian Beister was clearly the man of the match with his brace. The six points and second place should not obscure the fact that with the troupe of Jeff Saibene not everything works as desired. There is still a lot of hard work ahead of the Upper Bavarians, if the team would like to stand even after the 38th matchday on a promotion rank. Another small step is to be done in Kaiserslautern.
