Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC Ingolstadt Betting Tips and Predictions

Eintracht Frankfurt slipped into the relegation zone for the first time this season (and the first time since the 2013/2014 Bundesliga season) after their 2-0 loss away to 3rd place in-form Hertha BSC during the week. The dangers of relegation have been lurking for a few weeks now and Frankfurt can’t be too confident coming into this game having failed to win in any of their last 6 games (3 defeats and 3 draws) and not having scored a goal in 270 minutes of Bundesliga football.

FC Ingolstadt are “in-form” for a team of their stature coming into this game off the back of two 1-1 draws. Ingolstadt were promoted into the Bundesliga for the first time in the 2014/2015 season and now have as many points after only 24 matchdays (31 points) as relegated SC Paderborn had by the end of the season last year. Ingolstadt are well on track to stay in the top flight sitting comfortably 8 points above the relegation zone in 9th place.

This game undoubtably seems set to be low-scoring. FC Ingolstadt have the Bundesligas’s weakest attack, having only scored 19 goals in 24 games so far this season, but they seem to score efficiently in terms of when they matter. In only 6 from Ingolstadt’s 24 games this season have both teams scored (with 1-0 being by far the most common result), hence how they have accumulated so many points from so few goals. Eintracht Frankfurt haven’t scored a goal in any of their last 3 Bundesliga games, with 2 of their last 3 games ending 0-0. Frankfurt will also be missing veteran striker Alex Meier to injury for this match, who has scored 44% of Frankfurt’s goals this season (12 out of Frankfurt’s 27 goals). 83% of FC Ingolstadt’s matches this season have ended with under 2.5 goals, and given the above form trends combining with Alexander Meier being absent for Eintracht Frankfurt it seems very likely these trends will continue with this match to have under 2.5 goals and the away side FC Ingolstadt to win 1-0 at 5/1 be the likely outcome.
