It is now over five months since the Foals tasted victory on the road in the Bundesliga, when they beat Hertha Berlin 4-1 back on Matchday 11. Andre Schubert's men come into this one on the back of an excellent home win against the Berliners last Sunday, but they will have to correct their away form if they are serious about finishing in the top four.

For Ingolstadt, the ambition at this point remains survival. Ralph Hasenhüttl's men are well-placed in ninth in the standings and dispatched another European contender - FC Schalke 04 - on Matchday 28, but will likely face a far sterner test here.
