On Friday, SpVgg Unterhaching competes at TSV 1860 for the S-Bahn derby.
The statistics speak for the lions.
The game is extremely important for both teams.
Munich -
The S-Bahn derby next weekend between SpVgg Unterhaching and TSV 1860 Munich is a trend-setting game for both teams for the rest of the season.
While TSV 1860 would like to continue fighting for a promotion place, Haching absolutely needs a win on Friday evening in the Grünwalder Stadium to stop the free fall of eleven games without a win.
The clear favorite, however, are the blues, who have won the last five games against the suburbs.
In view of the current situation in the table, a win is actually a must for both teams.
After the 1: 2 defeat of TSV 1860 in Saarbrücken on Saturday, Michael Köllner's team is currently fifth in the table - four points behind the relegation place to the 2nd Bundesliga.
The direct competition from Munich even has catch-up games up its sleeve and the Lions need a series to continue to mix.
The people of Hachingen have completely different worries.
Arie van Lent's team has not been able to achieve a win in eleven games.
Last weekend, the relegation thriller against MSV Duisburg saw the next bitter defeat with 1: 2.
The suburbs are in 18th place and are already three points away from the safe zone.
The SpVgg is the only team in the basement to have played 25 games.
For Arie van Lent's team, it doesn't really matter which opponent comes next - in the fight to stay up they have to win.
The S-Bahn derby can even have a positive effect on the Hachinger family.
The success in the local duel against the blues could initiate the long-awaited turnaround.
A threesome would give Haching new confidence for the season finale.
TSV 1860 against SpVgg Unterhaching: Statistics of the last few years speak for the lions
However, Hachinger should leave the look at the statistics.
The Lions won four of the last five games in the 3rd division.
Only in the 18/19 season it was enough to draw.
In the explosive Toto Cup quarter-finals last season, TSV 1860 was able to prevail after a hard fight with a 4: 3 victory on penalties.
The decisive factor will be whether the guests can put Captain Sascha Mölders on a leash.
Last season in Unterhaching, the striker scored the winning goal in stoppage time. They were able to prove that the Lions are the better team in terms of play with a 2-0 win in the preliminary round.
But the pressure increases 13 match days before the end of the season.
For both teams, only victory counts in the flood match on Friday evening.
The guests must accept the fight if they want to stand against the lions.
In keeping with the derby on Friday, we will speak to Haching defender Jannis Turtschan on Wednesday at 12:30.
The 19-year-old will of course talk about the hit against TSV 1860 in the live interview.
