The Bundesliga 2 match at Audi-Sportpark on Sunday sees home side Ingolstadt take on guests Schalke. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.
Ingolstadt will be looking for an improved result here after the 3-0 Bundesliga 2 defeat in their last game at the hands of Fortuna Dusseldorf. We think that Ingolstadt could make use of the 4-4-2 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Dejan Stojanovic, Nikola Stevanovic, Nico Antonitsch, Visar Musliu, Dominik Franke, Denis Linsmayer, Merlin Röhl, Florian Pick, Filip Bilbija, Patrick Schmidt and Dennis Eckert Ayensa.
Tobias Schröck, Maximilian Neuberger, Nunoo Sarpei, Fatih Kaya, Michael Heinloth, Thomas Keller and Yassin Ben Balla will not be taking part for Ingolstadt boss Rüdiger Rehm.
How Ingolstadt could look to play Schalke
Since tasting defeat last time out to Hansa Rostock in Bundesliga 2 competition, Schalke will be hoping to turn things around here. From our viewpoint, Schalke could decide to elect for a 4-1-2-3 lineup, choosing Martin Fraisl, Henning Matriciani, Ko Itakura, Marcin Kaminski, Thomas Ouwejan, Victor Palsson, Dominick Drexler, Rodrigo Zalazar, Darko Churlinov, Simon Terodde and Marius Bülter.
Schalke boss Mike Büskens has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Andreas Vindheim (Calf Injury), Salif Sané (Muscle Injury), Mehmet Aydin (Hamstring Injury), Thomas Ouwejan (Muscular problems), Michael Langer (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Dong-gyeong Lee (Metatarsal Fracture) will miss out on this game.
