Union Berlin vs Ingolstadt
2. Bundesliga
Date: 15th December 2017
Kick off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: Stadion An der Alten Forsterei (Berlin).

Union Berlin suffered another unpleasant defeat in front of the home fans last weekend when they fell to the bottom-half Dynamo Dresden side (0-1).

They will be looking to bounce back and return on the winning ways in a super important 18th round clash against fellow promotional rivals Ingolstadt in Friday’s 2. Bundesliga action at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei.

Union Berlin

The main issue s for the Iron Ones were connected with the lack of meticulousness at the back, but they’ve failed to produce in the final third last Saturday to cancel the fact they leaked in just a single goal.

It’s thus just one point from last four league outings for Union Berlin. Given they’ve played the bottom-half opponents Heidenheim, Darmstadt, Bochum and Dresden, that’s a bitterly disappointing return and they are five points adrift of the top three as a result.

Ingolstadt

Die Schanzer won’t come into this in high spirits either as they’ve failed to see off the weakest side in the competition last weekend when they only drew 1-1 away at Kaiserslautern.

Stefan Leitl’s squad has managed to net no more than a single goal in last three matches and they will be desperate to raise the form and keep ground on the top three sides before the end of the year.

Union Berlin vs Ingolstadt: Head to head

The draw has been by far the most common of the outcomes whenever these two likes locked horns.

This was particularly the case in their meetings at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei where four of five H2H encounters saw no winner.

Union Berlin vs Ingolstadt: Prediction

The draw is somehow the most likable of scenarios this time out since neither of the teams is looking prolific at this stage.

We’d not even be shocked to see no goals on Friday given that both managers will likely use a rather more careful approach due to the importance of the game against promotional rivals.
