The dress rehearsal went wrong for both teams.

Before the local duel on Wednesday evening in the Olympic Stadium, TSV 1860 and Türkgücü Munich could not win.

Munich - The series lasts, but nobody was satisfied at TSV 1860 after the 1-1 draw at the last second at SV Meppen.

The lions are unbeaten in five games abroad, almost five away wins in a row.

Michael Köllner's team will play against Türkgücü Munich in the next "away game" at the Olympic Stadium on Wednesday.

The local rivals fought a 0-0 draw against Waldhof Mannheim at the same spot on Saturday.

"Now there's a great derby on Wednesday."

Türkgücü coach Heraf is looking forward to the lions.

"Now there's a great derby on Wednesday, where we're trying to do the icing on the cake," announced coach Andreas Heraf after the game on Magenta TV.

The Austrian encourages his players to show themselves in the coming weeks and to make them interesting for other clubs, because he gives little hope for a future at Türkgücü Munich later in BR: "I wish every player that he finds a good club in the summer because it's going to be very, very difficult here."

“It is important that there are three points for this.

That's what counts for me.”

Michael Köllner for the duel against Türkgücü Munich.

For some the game is more important, for others less, Löwen coach Köllner did not want to overestimate the upcoming game after the 1-1 draw in Emsland.

“It is important that there are three points for this.

That's what counts for me.

We want to win in the Olympic Stadium," said the 52-year-old at the press conference.

Incidentally, he couldn't start the journey home with the team in the bus because his back had been "out of order" for ten days.

"I'll be happy when I come home and get through the next few days to some extent."

He will demand everything from his team in the coming weeks: "My goal is to still be there in the final phase of the season, when the nerves get a bit too much.

Just like the last two years, that we still have an important say," said Köllner.

Türkgücü of all people could shake these plans.

If Saarbrücken wins in Wiesbaden on Sunday, the gap to third place will continue to grow.

With a defeat against the team from Heinrich-Wieland-Strasse on Wednesday evening, twelve games before the end of the season, the lions would have a mortgage of six points.
