Recap
These two teams have different ambitions. The home team will almost certainly fight for the very top, and already tonight they have the opportunity to replace Osnabruck in third place. The guests can sail more calmly into the season’s finish and be satisfied with the middle of the table, due to the colorful results lately. When it comes to absences, Ingolstadt have a big problem with injuries. Coach Capretti can’t count on Costly (27/3), Sarpei (25/1), Brackelmann (25/2), Musliu (23/0), Kopacz (21/2), Preißinger (21/0), Stevanović (15/1), Schröck (14/0), captain Ponath (6/0) and Dittgen (5/1). Mannheim is the best home team in the league with 11 wins in 13 games and must use these problems to get important three points.
