RB Leipzig

The Red Bulls are in the 2nd position with 62 points. They are unbeaten in the last five games, as they managed to win four in addition to the latest draw in Gelsenkirchen.

In 15 home games this season, Leipzig were defeated only twice while managing to win 12 confrontations; they scored 31 goals and allowed 11 in the process.

FC Ingolstadt 04

Die Schanzer were beaten in the last two rounds and they could be in the serious situation unless they managed to grab a point in Leipzig. FC Ingolstadt won two out of the last five games on the road but against significantly weaker teams. Their overall away record this season stands at 4 wins, 10 defeats and a draw with 14 goals netted and 26 conceded.

RB Leipzig vs Ingolstadt 04: Head-to-head

The Red Bulls faced Die Schanzer in the three competitive games so far and they were beaten each time. The teams met twice in 2. Bundesliga two seasons ago, where FC Ingolstadt won both fixtures with 2-1 and 0-1. This season at Audi Sportpark, RB Leipzig suffered another defeat by a one goal margin as the hosts were victorious with 1-0.

RB Leipzig vs Ingolstadt 04: Prediction

We can expect an open match with several goals on Saturday since Red Bulls are able to score early on and Ingolstadt will certainly go for an equalizer. In the recent games, the guests have surely proved they aren’t harmless.
