FC Finsing is a guest at SV Manching and “has nothing more to lose”.
Already 16 points are missing for the first non-relegation place.
Finsing - "It feels like it's easier for us to play away," says Bernd Häfele, the FC Finsing coach, before the game this Saturday at 3pm at SV Manching.
And Häfele wants “my boys to tear themselves apart - and if that's not enough, okay”.
Before the home game, which he lost 3-1 to Kammerberg last week, he had announced that “we will get something if my specifications are implemented”.
But that happened or just didn't work.
Held had warned his team about the long balls that are typical for Kammerberg, but ultimately unsuccessful.
At the restart a 2-2 draw at SV Dornach was fought
Häfele has no choice but to use the old phrase, "that things are often easier when you have nothing left to lose".
When looking at the table, one can only agree with him.
Finsing is in the penultimate place, with three relegation participants and two relegation participants, with twelve points difference to the next possible relegation rank.
Opponent Manching, in 2017/18 even in the state league for one season, leads the field of teams that are still at risk in the orbit of relegation places in eighth place.
At least a 2-2 draw at SV Dornach was fought for at the restart.
And that without Marco Witasek, who clearly leads the internal goalscorer list with 14 goals, who has switched to Ingolstadt-Etting.
He was also among the goal scorers at 2-2 in the first leg after the home side had already led 2-0.
"Finsing is easier away from home anyway"
“But finsing is always easier away from home”, as Häfele thinks at least.
An established regional league club like Manching wants to avoid relegation and, if possible, relegation under all circumstances.
Eight newcomers came during the long break, and goals are definitely expected from Benedikt Vollnhals.
He managed to score 25 goals in 48 regional league games at league competitor Eichstätt 2.
Tip: 2: 1 for finsing
