On March 20, Audi Sportpark (Ingolstadt) will host the match of the 28th round of the German 3. Liga, in which Ingolstadt will compete with Dynamo Dresden. The battle will start at 19:00 CET.
Ingolstadt
The team became famous not so long ago when it was able to promote abruptly, during a few years, from the level of the Bavarian League, which is a semi-amateur, regional tournament, up to the Bundesliga 1. Moreover, the team stayed there for a couple of years. Still, it seems that the sports enthusiasm of the Audi concern, the owners of the project, disappeared in a pretty quick way. “The Blacks” had been relegated to the third division, and, having returned to the league above in the previous draw, they ended in the last, 18th there. Even now, being at a lower level, the team is the middle peasant – the number of victories is not bigger than the number of defeats. The spring started with the failures in the matches against Wehen and Freiburg II. This Wednesday, “die Schanzer” hosted Mannheim at the home arena – and they lost again, albeit struggling a lot, with a 2-3 score.
Dynamo Dresden
The club now has the status of a “football elevator” between the second and the third divisions of Germany. Although there was a period, within the framework of the GDR, when it was a real football flagship that took trophies of the elite division and the Cup of the Republic a dozen times. Taking into account the previous season, it seemed that Dynamo would finally be able to gain a foothold, at least at the level of the Bundesliga 2. Nevertheless, a vigorous start turned into a gradual decline, and the team was relegated again. To tell the truth, the higher mentioned result was not a direct one – the team lost after play-offs, but is this fact relieving? And it is reasonable to mention that the following results were quite mediocre. Only after a long break, it found its game. Then, “SGD” got close to the third place, which would have made it possible to take part in the play-offs again. Moreover, Duisburg was beaten – the team scored a couple of “unanswered” goals.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
The clubs played in the Bundesliga 2 in the previous season – they managed to beat each other at the home arenas in 2021 with crushing 3-0 scores. Speaking about the third division, there was a September 1-1 draw in Dresden.
Predictions
Bookmakers believe that the guests from Dresden will be able to win again. Thus, we bet on the victory of Dynamo in the match against the middle peasant of the tournament (odd: 2.0).
