Prediction: 0-1
Dusseldorf
Ingolstadt will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Werder Bremen (0-3) and St. Pauli (1-4) when they take on Fortuna Dusseldorf on Matchday 8. Ingolstadt have been struggling at the back of late, and, as a result, they are stuck in the relegation zone. Considering that their injury list is pretty long, we do not believe that home win should be considered. Fortuna Dusseldorf, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late.
Following a 3-1 loss at Schalke, Fortuna defeated Aue, with the team sharing the spoils with Regensburg in their last league match. The visitors aim to return to winning ways, and given Ingolstadt’s poor form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Christian Preuser’s troops. All Dragos Nedelcu, Emmanuel Iyoha, and Thomas Pledl are sidelined with injuries for the visitors.
