VfB Stuttgart v FC Ingolstadt 04 Prediction and Preview – 18/10/15
Bundesliga preview – VfB Stuttgart v FC Ingolstadt 04 prediction
VfB Stuttgart will be without Christian Gentner who is likely to be replaced by Lukas Rupp again. Alexandru Maxim should continue to start on the left wing as Filip Kostic remains a doubt for the game. In attack Martin Harnik should expect to start with Daniel Ginczek out through injury in a blow for Stuttgart.
Ingolstadt will be without Roger in defensive midfield through injury so Romain Bregerie could come in. Moritz Hartmann competes with Stefan Lex for a starting role on the right wing up for grabs. Elias Kachunga who has looked impressive in spells from the bench will give Ralph Hasenhuttl options in attack should he wish to make any changes.

Prediction
Stuttgart are currently rock bottom of the Bundesliga with only 4 points from their opening 8 games all coming away from home. The 4 defeats suffered at home will do little to inspire any form of confidence in the home crowd. Stuttgart will hope that the work they have done over the international break will kick start their season for the visit from new boys Ingolstadt will give
Ingolstadt are flying high in 6th and enjoying their Bundesliga season following promotion. Unbeaten away from home they have picked up numerous scalps along the way with their well balanced side. Rigid in defence but with pace to counter attack they are set up to succeed and a tie away to Stuttgart will appeal to the new boys.
Ingolstadt should keep their unbeaten away record going here. Stuttgart have been struggling all season and could find it difficult to break down the Ingolstadt defence. A close game with not much in it.
