Ingolstadt hunting home firsts when Frankfurt come calling
Ingolstadt - Winless, and goalless, at home this season, FC Ingolstadt 04 will be hunting Bundesliga firsts when Eintracht Frankfurt visit the Audi Sportpark on Saturday afternoon (kick-off: 15:30 CEST/13:30 GMT).
History
Top facts
- Yet to score, or taste victory, on home turf, Ingolstadt's only point at the Audi Sportpark this season came from Matchday 4's 0-0 draw with VfL Wolfsburg.
- Only one team in Bundesliga history has failed to score a goal at home after eight Matchdays: SpVgg Greuther Fürth in 2012/13.
- For the first time since Armin Veh returned this summer, Eintracht have gone three games without victory.
- Ingolstadt's first-choice centre-half, Benjamin Hübner, is the son of Eintracht sporting director, Bruno Hübner.
- In his four appearances so far this season, Eagles' striker Alexander Meier has scored as many goals as Ingolstadt (four).
- Victory would lift Veh's side ahead of Ingolstadt in the standings.
