With the clear intention of going on vacation celebrating a victory, Ingolstadt will host Bayer Leverkusen in the final game of the Bundesliga before a four-week break. The hosts maiden season in the Bundesliga hasn't been all that bad, but they will want to finish off the first semester of the season on a high while facing Die Werkself at Audi Sportpark.
This won't be an easy game for neither side, since both teams own the right weapons to hurt one another. For instance, Benjamin Hübner and Roger will be the go-to guys for the hosts, while the goal scoring duo of Stefan Kiessling and Javier "Chicharito" Hernández will try to repeat their last week's performance, when they scored five goals against Gladbach.
Ingolstadt
Ralph Hasenhüttl will not have two players available for the last match of the year, as Markus Suttner and Konstantin Engel will have to sit out this match due to injury. With a number of problems in the back, Hasenhüttl could give youngster Robert Bauer the chance to start as left back, with the aim of helping the team snap out of their current streak without a win (1D, 2L).
Bayer Leverkusen
It seems that Roger Schmidt has finally found exactly what the team needs to perform correctly on both ends of the pitch, as last week's display against Gladbach left fans with a huge smile upon their face. Die Werkself have struggled with consistency issues all season long, but that problem doesn't seem to have an effect on "Chicharito" Hernández, who is quickly becoming one of the most praised players in the current Bundesliga season.
Hernández's impact with Schmidt's side has translated into 18 goals in all competitions, keeping their European football chances for next season alive.
Head to head
This will be the first ever match between these teams, since Ingolstadt was created just eleven years ago.
