Match snapshot and recent rhythm
Jahn Regensburg welcome Ingolstadt to the Städtisches Jahnstadion on 16/01/2026 in what promises to be a tight 3. Liga clash. On paper the host arrive with a sliver of momentum: Regensburg sit 13th with 24 points from 19 matches and have produced a string of positive results in recent outings, including a 2-0 friendly win on 10 January and several competitive wins through December. Ingolstadt are only a single place and two points adrift in 14th, with a more uneven run — wins mixed with draws and losses and a 4-2 friendly victory as their most recent outing.
Both sides have shown they can score; Ingolstadt have a slight edge in total goals (32) and total shots (276) across the season, while Regensburg have been steadier defensively at home with five clean sheets. The head-to-head earlier in the season produced a 1-1 draw when Ingolstadt hosted, so history suggests a competitive affair rather than a one-sided rout.
Tactical tendencies and statistical leanings
Numbers point to an encounter where goals are a realistic expectation. Ingolstadt’s attacking output — higher shots, more shots on target and a greater proportion of over-2.5 games (68.42%) — indicates they carry threat going forward. Regensburg’s home goal totals are decent too; they’ve netted 17 at home and their recent friendlies and league fixtures have included multi-goal results. While Regensburg’s BTTS rate at home sits lower than Ingolstadt’s, the away side’s overall BTTS rate and their tendency to be involved in higher-scoring matches suggest neither side is likely to keep the other quiet throughout 90 minutes.
For punters thinking about match outcome, bookmakers tilt slightly toward the hosts (Home 2.25, Draw 3.65, Away 2.80), reflecting Regensburg’s home comfort and recent form. Those who prefer to diverge into market selection should consider the goal market as the primary angle here; the underlying match data supports the probability of several goals.

Betting suggestion Recommended pick (primary): Over 2.5 goals — the data leans toward an open game with both sides capable of contributing to the scoreline, and both teams’ season figures show a strong frequency of matches finishing with three or more goals. Alternative (secondary): Back Jahn Regensburg in 1X2 for a value play if you favour home momentum, but the clearest edge in this fixture appears in the goal market.
