Hardly any prey far from the Giesing hunting grounds

One team, two faces: The Lions have been waiting for an away win for seven months. But things are going at home in Giesing, even better than a year ago.


One team, two faces: The Lions have been waiting for an away win for seven months.

But things are going at home in Giesing, even better than a year ago.

As is well known, everything in life has two sides.

1860 fans, for example, have the choice of how they want to perceive their team: as a top team - or as a points supplier.

There are reasons for both perspectives, even underpinned by solid statistical data.


Accordingly, position 12 in the table is only half the story.

If you take a closer look at the first 15 games of the Löwen season, you will notice that the Giesingers are both: a home power in the 3rd division (fifth place) - but also a very lousy away team (fifth from last), at least in terms of earnings .

Ironically, the club with the most travel-loving fans is the only third division team that has not yet won an away game.

As the only third division team away from home without a win

The lions are a harmless pack that does not prey as soon as they start hunting for points far away from their familiar territory?

It's not that bad when you consider that the Giesinger team have hardly lost away either (only twice - with five draws).

On the other hand: The last three was seven months ago - 2-0 in Mannheim on April 24th.


Although the Lions made two of their most convincing appearances away from home, neither in Braunschweig nor in Saarbrücken were Sascha Mölders and Co. able to take 1-0 tours over time.

In the end there were unsatisfactory point-sharing - as was the case with Wehen Wiesbaden, in Halle and Lotte (against Verl).


5th place in the home table, 16th place in the away table

Coach Michael Köllner also has a mystery where this weakness in a foreign country comes from.

He considers it a whim of fate - after all, his lions were feared guests until summer.

The away record of Giesinger in the 2020/21 season: ten wins, five draws, four defeats - only promoted Hansa Rostock was slightly better.


At home, on the other hand, it works.

All four victories of the season were won at Giesing's heights, only the game against Zwickau was lost (0: 2).

Little encouragement in gloomy times: The previous home balance (15 points) even outshines the 2020/21 interim balance.

At that time, 1860 only got twelve points from the first eight games in the Grünwalder Stadium.


It is a clear mandate that is derived from the home / away discrepancy: The game on Saturday at TSV Havelse must be won if Köllner's team wants to take off as announced.

Advantage 1860: The opponent occupies a relegation place in both tables.

In addition: for the newcomer, every game is an away game.

Since the local TSV arena only offers 3500 seats, the village club moves to Hanover, in the oversized HDI arena (49,200 seats).


Neutral terrain, so to speak - ideal for the Lions to finally end their away curse.
