FC Ingolstadt 04 (2-1-0, 6 points) will host unbeaten club VfL Wolfsburg (2-0-1, 7 points) on Saturday, September 12 at the Audi Sportpark in Ingolstadt, Germany as the 2015-2016 Bundesliga season continues.
Die Schanzer escaped with a 1-0 win over FC Augsburg in their most recent game on August 29 at the SGL Arena. Australian forward Mathew Leckie scored the lone goal for the contest at a little over the hour mark to lift his team, via SkySports.
Ralph Hasenhüttl's men suffered their first setback of the season the game prior against top team Borussia Dortmund, 0-4, the week before. They won their opener versus 1. FSV Mainz 05, 1-0, to give six points in the overall team standings.
Meanwhile, Wolfsburg fashioned out a masterful 3-0 victory over FC Schalke 04 last Friday as they overcame the recent departures of Kevin De Bruyne to Manchester City and Ivan Perišić to Inter Milan.
Dutch forward Bas Dost and Swiss defenders Ricardo Rodriguez and Timm Klose scored the goals for Die Wölfe to hand Schalke's first loss of the season, as per ESPN.
The Wolves opened their season with a 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt then settled with a 1-1 draw versus 1. FC Köln in their second game, which was De Bruyne's last game with the club before his transfer to the Premier League.
The predicted result is a close 2-1 victory for Wolfsburg. Ingolstadt will put up a good fight, but Dieter Hecking and his crew are out to prove that there is life after De Bruyne and Perišić.
FC Ingolstadt 04 starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Ozcan; Levels, Matip, Hubner, Suttner; Gross, de Oliveira Bernardo, Morales; Hartmann, Hinterseer, Leckie
