ERC Ingolstadt are slightly favored based on recent form and home/away trends, with typical moneyline odds around 1.95 for Ingolstadt and 2.20 for Schwenningen in markets for similar DEL fixtures (odds vary by book and should be checked closer to puck drop); Ingolstadt’s stronger defensive record this month and Saturn-Arena home form make them the marginal pick with DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

The match starts on 30/12/2025 at 6:30:00 PM CET (Central European Time), which is 18:30 local time in Germany.

The game will be played at Helios Arena in Villingen-Schwenningen for Schwenninger Wild Wings (capacity ~6,215) and at Saturn-Arena in Ingolstadt for ERC Ingolstadt home fixtures; for this fixture the scheduled host is Schwenningen, so Helios Arena — a compact arena known for its intense home atmosphere and capacity around 6,215 — will stage the match.

Prediction: Schwenningen Wild Wings 2 – 3 ERC Ingolstadt (Ingolstadt moneyline ~1.95, Over/Under 5.5 goals ~1.90 over); given Ingolstadt’s recent away defensive improvement and Schwenningen’s mixed form, a close win for ERC Ingolstadt is the probabilistic outcome, but value exists on ING moneyline and Over 5.5 in some markets.

In head-to-head meetings over the past two seasons ERC Ingolstadt hold a narrow edge with approximately 6 wins to Schwenningen’s 5 in their last 12 competitive DEL meetings, average goals per game around 5.0, and several fixtures decided by one goal — indicating a tight rivalry where form on the day is decisive.
