Xaver Faul: TSV 1860 vs Ingolstadt "is a real highlight"
Above all, the duel between the lions and the Schanzer gives hope for a cup cracker.
At the beginning of the year, TSV 1860 were only just able to prevail with a 1-0 home win against Ingolstadt.
“With these four clubs on the lottery wheel, it was clear that the pairings would be attractive.
The games promise excitement.
The match between the sixties and Ingolstadt is a real highlight, so just look at the current third division table, "said Xaver Faul." Of course, this also applies now when the four third division teams play off the quarter-finals among themselves. "
