Ingolstadt vs Bayern Munich Preview
Ingolstadt is reeling right now as the team has lost three of its last four matches. They continue to be in the bottom three relegation zone, only one point behind 16th-place squad Hamburg and six points ahead of cellar-dwellers SV Darmstadt 98.
Die Schanzer was nipped by capital city team Hertha Berlin, 0-1, on the road at the Olympiastadion last Saturday, as per Vavel.
Die Alte Dame’s Japanese midfielder Genki Haraguchi netted the lone goal of the contest for the hosts as the team handed head coach Maik Walpurgis’ squad their 12th loss this season.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is looking to win its fifth straight Bundesliga title as they continue to be on top of the German top flight table, four points ahead of closest pursuer RB Leipzig, with 15 rounds remaining in the season.
The Bavarians snapped a seven-game winning streak in their most recent match last Saturday at their home ground of Allianz Arena after they were held to a 1-1 tie by lowly squad Schalke 04, Goal reported.
Polish striker Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for head coach Carlo Ancelotti’s side in the ninth minute with a left-footed shot from the center of the box off an assist by Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal following a corner kick.
However, Die Knappen was able to find the equalizer just four minutes later from a free kick by Brazilian defender Naldo following a foul by Vidal.
The draw was Bayern’s fourth of the season.
