RB Leipzig vs FC Ingolstadt 04 Preview

This season’s surprise package RB Leipzig continue their amazing season as they host 17^th place Ingolstadt.

Leipzig are currently placed 2^nd with 62 points after 30 games.

They have confirmed their participation in the Champions League for next season and currently lead 3^rd placed Borussia Dortmund by 6 points.

Their recent form has been good – they are unbeaten in their last 4 games with 3 wins and 1 draw.

Their home form has been excellent recently.  They have won their last 3 games at home scoring 3 goals on 2 of those occasions.

They will hope to add Ingolstadt to their list of victims when they come visiting.

Ingolstadt are currently 2^nd from bottom after collecting just 28 points from 30 games.

Their recent form is even more alarming – they have lost their last 2 league games, which is not a good result for a team that wants to avoid relegation.
