In the 2. Bundesliga this Saturday afternoon, top of the table Ingolstadt will travel to Leipzig to take on the out of form RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena. The referee for this encounter is Patrick Ittrich. Mr. Ittrich is normally an assistant in the Bundesliga but when he does take the center stage he does tend to produce a fair amount of yellow cards. He’ll let the game flow as best as he can before pulling out the cards but if tackles are flying in, he won’t hesitate.
RB Leipzig need to find their form rather quickly or they could find themselves out of the hunt for promotion to the top flight of German football. Going into the match, they have dropped points in all but three out of their last 10 matches. Obviously this is not the winning formula if you are a club vying for a spot into the first division but a win against the club who sits at the top could boost confidence as they try to turn their season around.
Ingolstadt go into tomorrow’s match against Die Bullen with all the confidence in the world; as they know that if they gather all three points away from home, they have the possibility of going seven points clear. The visitors are led by the Austrian forward Lukas Hinterseer, who has six goals in fifteen matches. But it isn’t just one person that’s leading the line out for the table-toppers, it’s a collective effort with multiple footballers finding the back of the net at least twice.
This matchup is full of interesting storylines as these two clubs will do battle for the very first time. Do not expect a lot of goals in the match as both sides boast two of the better defenses in the entire league. However, they know how to score and if it looks like one side just does not look up to the task than there is the possibility that one of the two sides can pour it on the other.
