Match Preview

Ingolstadt have shown a good fight but a rather unlucky run of five matches without a win sealed their fate. They are relegated from the Bundesliga after just two seasons and can't improve on their position in 17th place. Ingolstadt had decent chances to take all the points from their recent fixtures but failed to do so despite playing positive and spirited football. Now they remain with their final mission on the last matchday – to say goodbye in style to their loyal fans. This is the main story of our Ingolstadt vs Schalke 04 preview.

Schalke 04 are 10th following a hugely disappointing season under new coach Markus Weinzierl. They only won three away matches all season and have massively underachieved given the quality of their squad.
