<html> <head> <title>Illertissen vs VfB Eichstätt – Regionalliga Bayern Preview and Betting Analysis</title> </head> <body> <h2>Form Meets Structure: Illertissen’s Firepower vs Eichstätt’s Control</h2> <p>At Vöhlin-Stadion, Illertissen’s recent attacking surge collides with one of Regionalliga Bayern’s most disciplined away units, VfB Eichstätt. The table has them fifth and seventh respectively, separated by a point; the form table over the last eight rounds has them neck-and-neck. Expect a tactical tug-of-war decided by game state and, crucially, the second half.</p> <h3>Recent Trajectories</h3> <p>Illertissen arrive unbeaten in five, routing Buchbach and Ansbach 4-1 in successive home matches. Their eight-match trend paints a clear picture: points per game up 18%, goals for up 16%, and goals against down 9%. Tobias Rühle’s brace against Ansbach and Max Zeller’s late equaliser at Aschaffenburg reflect both early intent and late punch.</p> <p>Eichstätt’s story is stability: four wins in the last eight and only ten goals conceded all season (0.83 per game). Away from home they concede at a miserly 0.6 per match and keep clean sheets 40% of the time. Their winless run stands at two, yet performances remain consistent, anchored by structured out-of-possession work and counters that bloom late.</p> <h3>Tactical Matchup</h3> <p>Illertissen underlined by variance at home – two 4-1 wins and two 0-3 defeats – often tilt matches into chaos. They press early and create flurries, but their goal distribution is telling: 65% of goals after halftime, with notable spikes between 61–90 minutes.</p> <p>Eichstätt’s away template is the inverse: slow burners with 60% of their away first halves finishing 0-0, before releasing counters and set-piece pressure after the interval. They score 67% of their goals in the second half and defend a lead brilliantly away (100% lead-defending rate). If they concede first, however, they don’t come back on the road (0.0 PPG when conceding first).</p> <h3>Key Players and Moments</h3> <ul> <li>Tobias Rühle (Illertissen) – form striker, thrives when service arrives early then transitions into space after the break.</li> <li>Max Zeller (Illertissen) – late goal threat; timing of runs mirrors the team’s second-half surge.</li> <li>Pascal Schittler / Lucas Schraufstetter (Eichstätt) – reliable scorers in transition phases, especially post-60’ when space opens.</li> </ul> <h3>Game-State Dynamics</h3> <p>The first goal is everything. Illertissen average 2.63 PPG when they score first and collapse to 0.20 when they concede first. Eichstätt away are even more binary: 3.0 PPG when scoring first, 0.0 when conceding first. Expect caution early from the visitors and a willingness from Illertissen to escalate after halftime – aligning both with a cagey first half then high-tempo second half.</p> <h3>Market Angles</h3> <p>Totals are tricky due to a style clash: Illertissen home games are wild (100% over 2.5), but Eichstätt away are measured (20% over 2.5). Instead, time-sliced markets offer the edge. Both sides’ heavy second-half bias supports “Highest Scoring Half – Second Half” and “2nd Half Over 1.5” as standout plays. Additionally, Eichstätt’s 60% away 0-0 at HT makes “HT 0-0” attractive at a generous price.</p> <h3>Prediction</h3> <p>The Oracle leans toward a tight first half and a decisive second. Illertissen’s late push and recent home momentum suggest they’re more likely to find the winner after the break, but Eichstätt’s away resilience keeps this within one goal either way. The best value sits with second-half markets, not the 1X2.</p> <h3>Suggested Bets</h3> <ul> <li>Highest Scoring Half: Second Half @ 2.05</li> <li>Second Half Over 1.5 @ 1.83</li> <li>HT Correct Score 0-0 @ 3.25</li> <li>HT/FT Draw/Home @ 5.25</li> </ul> <p><em>Note:</em> No reliable injury or lineup updates were available at time of writing; recheck team news for late changes that could impact tempo or finishing quality.</p> </body> </html>
