Third division hit in Ingolstadt: FCI fights against Rostock's primal power!

Third division hit in Ingolstadt: FCI fights against Rostock's primal power!

On Sunday, August 25, 2025, there will be an exciting duel in the 3rd league between FC Ingolstadt 04 (FCI) and FC Hansa Rostock (FCH). The encounter takes place in Ingolstadt and promises to be an interesting match, especially for Rostock, who are hungry for a solid start to the season.

The FCI has had a weak start to the season so far and are under a lot of pressure with just one point from two games. After a defeat in a friendly against Zwickau, which ended 0-1, the team's self-confidence may have been damaged. In contrast, FCH is in better form: despite a Dutch 4-0 defeat in the DFB Cup against TSG Hoffenheim, they are unbeaten in the league so far and have managed one win and one draw. Another win today would mean that Rostock can have their best start to the season since the 2017/2018 season.

The historical record speaks for Ingolstadt

Despite Rostock's current form, history speaks a different language. In the 14 direct duels between the two teams, Hansa Rostock was only able to win twice in Ingolstadt. Despite these statistics, the betting odds still favor the guests from Rostock, who have played with two to zero in the league so far and have therefore also shown a solid defensive performance.

Rostock has often had difficulties in Ingolstadt in the past, which could increase nervousness. The chances of a low-scoring game are high as both teams tend to play defensively. There is a strong possibility that fewer than 2.5 goals will be scored, especially when you look at FCI's form, which has yet to win since the start of the season.
