Osnabruck to gain a first-leg advantage in vital play-off
Ingolstadt vs VfL Osnabruck - 27/05/2021
6538
On Thursday evening, Ingolstadt and Osnabruck go head-to-head at the Audi-Sportpark in the first leg of the play-offs to determine which of the two teams will be playing in Bundesliga.2 next season.
Ingolstadt only failed to gain automatic promotion to the Bundesliga.2 because of an inferior goal difference of three compared to second place Hansa Rostock. It was an anguishing way to miss out on promotion.
Tomas Oral’s team finished the league campaign with an eight-match unbeaten run. However, five of those matches finished in draws.
If they would have won just one more match, then the home side would have already sealed their spot in the German second tier for next season.
The Bavarians have been something of a force on home soil in the German third tier this season, as they are currently unbeaten in 17 league matches on home soil.
Osnabruck endured a poor campaign to finish 16th in Bundesliga.2. They won just two of their final eight games in the league, suffering five defeats in the process, including losing 2-1 at Erzgebirge Aue on the final day of the season.
The visitor’s recent games have at least been entertaining, as their last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
One of the main reasons for those high-scoring recent games is Osnabruck conceding at least two goals in five of their last six matches of the season.
Osnabruck’s recent away record has been a mixed one, although they have won just two of their last nine matches on their travels in the Bundesliga.2.
The recent history of this fixture is on the visitor’s side, as they have won four of the last six meetings with Ingolstadt in all competitions while suffering just one defeat.
Forebet predicts that Osnabruck will record a potentially vital victory in a high-scoring encounter to get their noses in front ahead of the second leg on Sunday.
