Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Regensburg play host to Ingolstadt at their Jahnstadion Regensburg in the 2. Bundesliga round 29. Regensburg are stuck in the middle of the table, meaning that they have little to play for in the season finale. Anyhow, they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways as they take on the rock-bottom side in front of home fans. Talented attacker Carlo Boukhalfa is banned for the match, but he should be the only absentee in the home side.
The rock-bottom team, on the other hand, failed to secure the 2. Bundesliga survival. Ingolstadt have already suffered ten defeats on the road this season, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Regensburg’s party at Jahnstadion. As for the away side, all Sarpei, Kaya, Heinloth, and Ben Balla should miss out with injuries.
