In this week 12 match on the 15th of October, Ingolstadt will host Meppen in a clash of these two extremely mismatched 3. Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, 5th placed Ingolstadt, recorded a 2-1 win against 1860 München. Marcel Costly scored the first goal for Ingolstadt in the 15th minute, then Patrick Schmidt added another in the 88th minute on a feed from Tobias Bech Kristensen. Ingolstadt is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches, while meppen is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Bayreuth. Alexander Nollenberger struck first for Bayreuth in the 46th minute on a feed from Moritz Heinrich, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Meppen was frustrated by Bayreuth’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bayreuth ended the match with the shutout victory. Meppen looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Meppen’s most prolific scorer has been Morgan Faßbender. He has netted 2 goals over the last five matches. Ingolstadt is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Tobias Bech Kristensen and Pascal Testroet each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
