Borussia Dortmund vs Ingolstadt prediction, preview, team news and more | DFB-Pokal 2021-22

Borussia Dortmund are set to play Ingolstadt at the Westfalenstadion on Tuesday in the second round of the DFB-Pokal.

Borussia Dortmund come into this game on the back of a 3-1 win over Frank Kramer's Arminia Bielefeld yesterday in the Bundesliga. Goals from midfielder Emre Can, centre-back Mats Hummels and England international Jude Bellingham sealed the deal for Marco Rose's Borussia Dortmund.

A second-half penalty from experienced striker Fabian Klos proved to be a mere consolation for Arminia Bielefeld.

Ingolstadt, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to ten-man Erzgebirge Aue in the 2.Bundesliga yesterday. A second-half goal from young midfielder Omar Sijaric secured the win for his club, who had midfielder Clemens Fandrich sent off late in the second-half.

Borussia Dortmund vs Ingolstadt Prediction

Borussia Dortmund will be missing some important players for this game, and it would not be surprising to see boss Marco Rose protect his available first-team members. They have been extremely unlucky with injuries so far.

Ingolstadt, on the other hand, will have other worries. They are currently bottom of the 2.Bundesliga table, and have lost four of their last five league games. Climbing up the league table will surely be the priority right now.

Borussia Dortmund should win here despite missing star performers.

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Ingolstadt
