Current form FC Ingolstadt
The FC Ingolstadt was after relegation in the preseason the immediate resurgence as a goal. At the beginning of the 2017/2018 season, however, it did not look like it could be put into action. On the first 8 matchdays only two wins were celebrated, only three matches were not lost. As a result, they parted company with coach Maik Walpurgis. Since matchday 8, things are going better for the “Schanzer”. For comparison, while 5 defeats were collected on these 8 matchdays, they lost only once in the following 10 matches. However, this happened in a home game against Eintracht Braunschweig (0: 2). Previously, however, they remained unbeaten in 7 games in a row. On the final day before the end of the first round, they beat Union Berlin 2-1. However, this was again the only success in the last four matches. In addition to losing to Braunschweig, they were unable to score fully against taillights Kaiserslautern (1: 1) and Holstein Kiel (0: 0), so they only scored more than one goal in one of the last 5 rounds the biggest problem area of ​​the fourth. Against a usual stable Sandhausen not too good omen. Also in terms of home record, it does not look very good. Only 3 of 8 season successes Ingolstadt celebrated in front of their own audience, has also suffered 11 goals in 8 home games. In addition, you have lost half of all home games. The last victory was booked on 19 November 2017, but against no one less than leaders Dusseldorf (1-0). As a result, the home record has improved significantly in recent weeks and months. In fact, 3 of the 4 home defeats were played on matchdays 1 to 5. This lost only one of the last 4 matches in front of a home crowd. The fact is: in 4 of the last 5 encounters with participation of the Bundesliga scoop fell less than 2.5 goals, so a bet tip, which should be kept in mind even for Tuesday. The strengths of the hosts are, as said, no doubt in the defensive area: With 20 goals in 18 games were so far only Eintracht Braunschweig (19) and Tuesdays opponent Sandhausen (18) successful. Positive: Coach Stefan Leitl can build according to the current state on all his players, currently we are no injuries and / or locks known.

Current form SV Sandhausen
What is done at SV Sandhausen year after year, deserves a lot of praise. Also currently the SVS has moved into the pursuit position in the fight for the promotion places, the gap to rank 3 is currently 6 points. All the more important would be a victory in a duel with the table neighbors from Ingolstadt, the loser of this encounter must probably (for the time being) say goodbye to all promotion dreams. The balance of the last weeks before the end of the first round makes at least some hope. Most recently Holstein Kiel defeated the reigning championship lead 3-1, while Kenan Kocak’s side scored the same goal against Arminia Bielefeld (3-1). Also against SV Darmstadt they won 2-1, in between there were defeats against Heidenheim (1: 2) and the 1st FC Nuremberg (0: 1). The performances in away games were remarkably weak: only 2 out of 8 victories in the season could be celebrated away, the last one on Matchday 14 was against Darmstadt. In total, only one of the last 6 games was won abroad. In 3 of the last 4 matches away Sandhausen remained completely conceded without conceding. A goal-rich encounter is not to be expected due to the already mentioned defensive strength of the guests. With 18 goals they even set the best defense of the entire 2nd Bundesliga, which is why we want to point out in terms of bet tip again on just such less than 2.5 or 3.5 goals. They scored 10 goals in 8 away matches and also a good score in the league comparison, which is purely the away statistics. Personally, Coach Kocak on Tuesday certainly has more compulsion to improvise than his counterpart Stefan Leitl: So precipitates with Stefan Kulovits the captain of the SVS, also, Gibson, Rossbach and Kister are currently injured or disabled in the defensive area. Strong: You have one of the strongest storm duos in the Bundesliga. Lucas Höller and Richard Sukuta-Pasu have scored 13 out of 24 season goals together and are therefore our warmest recommendation in terms of goalscoring. The direct duel also gives Sandhausen hope: Four of the last six encounters with the FCI could be won, but there were also two defeats.

Our Prediction: FC Ingolstadt 04 win @ 1.70
