FC Ingolstadt vs Borussia M'gladbach Betting Tips and Predictions

FC Ingolstadt all but secured another season in the top flight with a 3-0 win at home to Schalke 04 last Saturday, their biggest win ever in the Bundesliga. They were without a win in five matches before this impressive performance, and they now stand in ninth-place in the Bundesliga and nine points clear of the relegation zone. Ingolstadt won’t lose too much sleep ahead of this fixture, knowing that three of their remaining fixtures are against three teams currently near the bottom of the Bundesliga – Darmstadt 98, Hannover 98 and TSG Hoffenheim – and they should expect to pick up a few points from these.

Borussia M’gladbach absolutely destroyed Hertha BSC in a dominant 5-0 win last Sunday. This fixture holds much more importance for M’gladbach, who stand in fourth-place and three points behind Hertha BSC, who currently qualify for direct entry into the Champions League next season standing in third-place.

FC Ingolstadt are unbeaten in all home matches since the start of 2016. Only their opponents Borussia M’gladbach and in-form Borussia Dortmund have a better home record in the same period. While Borussia M’gladbach have one of the most dominant home records in the league, they have been less than impressive away from home. Gladbach haven’t won away from home in seven consecutive away matches (D2 L5) and have the second worst away form in the league in 2016. Conceding away from home is where it goes wrong for Borussia M’gladbach – in six of their last seven matches they have conceded 2 or more goals. Earlier in the season, FC Ingolstadt were criticised for having one of the lowest scoring attacks in the Bundesliga, but they have started to turn that around and have now scored at least one in their last six matches.

Borussia M’gladbach are the better team on paper and with this match meaning much more to them, we feel they’ll break the curse on their poor away form and get the better of an “uninterested” FC Ingolstadt. Combining the analysis above with the statistics shown below, expect there to be plenty of goals in this match with both over 2.5 goals at 1/1 and a final result of Borussia M’gladbach to win 2-1 at 8/1 being top value.
