Ingolstadt vs Energie Cottbus: match statistics
The match is shaping up to be an extremely tight affair. Ingolstadt are in excellent form with four wins in their last five matches and an impressive tally of 14 goals scored with only 5 conceded. The hosts boast a solid home record with a 40% win rate and a positive goal difference (+3) at their own stadium. Meanwhile, Energie Cottbus, the league leaders, can boast a 50% away win rate and the best overall record in the league (13 wins). However, the visitors' recent form is somewhat concerning – only 1.6 points per match in their last five games and eight goals conceded during that period. A key factor is the similar attacking efficiency of both teams (1.7 goals on average each) as well as comparable ball possession stats (49%). Considering the hosts' excellent form and the fact that the leaders struggle to keep clean sheets away from home, a draw seems to be the most likely outcome of this encounter.
