Rot-Weiß Essen in a form check: win against Ingolstadt on November 8th. possible!

FC Rot-Weiß Essen is making its way to Ingolstadt: On November 8th, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. the Essen team will meet FC Ingolstadt 04 at the Audi Sportpark. RWE is currently placed in a solid 5th place in the league and can boast 23 points. They are unbeaten in five league games and have scored a goal in the first half in each of these games. That sounds promising, right?

Their opponent, FC Ingolstadt, is in 14th place with 17 points. The last five games have been quite mixed for the Ingolstadt team: three wins, one draw and one defeat. What is striking is that Ingolstadt conceded at least one goal in four of the last five games. For RWE, this encounter could be a good opportunity to continue the positive series.

Form and formations

RWE's form speaks volumes. With their strong offense, they have the chance to take the lead more often than their opponents. The last matches showed that both teams always scored - an exciting game is shaping up. In the expected formation, RWE will line up with a 4-2-3-1 system: goalkeeper Golz will be bedded by a defensive line that includes Kostka, Ríos Alonso, Kraulich and Brumme. Gjasula and Müsel act in midfield, while Obuz, Arslan and Mizuta support the attack. Janssen is at the top.

Ingolstadt, on the other hand, will start the game with a 4-1-4-1 formation. Goalkeeper Eisele will strengthen the defense with Deichmann, Lorenz, Scholz and Rosenloch. Plath will act as a six and Costly, Carlsen and Kaygin could be crucial in the offensive, as could striker Frederik Christensen, who is considered a bearer of hope. Unfortunately, the Ingolstadt team is missing important players: goalkeeper Ponath and defender Hoppe are injured.

Statistical insights

A look at the statistics shows that RWE have conceded goals in 80 percent of their last five games, while they have also always been successful in scoring goals. This dynamic could make the game a very exciting one. RWE was previously able to record a home win against Ingolstadt 2-1 in November 2023, which should give the Essen team additional self-confidence.

The predictions from the betting market seem to be on RWE's side, with their current form and table position giving them a slight advantage. Whether they can use this remains to be seen - after all, the next game is always a new chapter.
