Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hannover play host to Ingolstadt at their HDI-Arena in the 2. Bundesliga ultimate round. Die Roten managed to secure the survival, but, no doubt, they want to give fans yet another reason for celebration. Hannover did well to beat Karlsruher 2-0 in their last home game, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to beat the rock-bottom side on home soil. Midfielder Sebastian Ernst should be the only absentee in the home team.
Ingolstadt, on the other hand, will compete in the German third tier next season. Since the visitors are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Hannover, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Sunday’s match. Rico Preissinger missed out through suspension, while all Ben Balla, Antonitsch, Ginola Elva, Linsmayer, Nunoo Sarpei, and Kaya are out of contention with injuries.
