Derby alarm: Schanzer want to stop Eichstätt's winning streak!

A football fireworks are imminent! On Saturday at 2 p.m., FC Ingolstadt II will receive VfB Eichstätt in a highly expected derby of the football Bavaria League North. The young hingers are in top shape and have remained unbeaten in the last nine games, eight of them! With this impressive series, you have shortened the gap to the league leader to just one point. But the Eichstätter, who won the first leg 4: 2, are warned and willing to defend their top position.

The defensive of the Ingolstadt has stabilized, but remains a critical topic. After initial difficulties with 21 goals in the first ten games, coach Patrick Schönfeld focused on the defense. Nevertheless, the FCI in the last six games only stayed without a goal. On the other hand, VfB Eichstätt can look forward to a strong defensive that only allowed 21 goals this season - the third best value in the league. Goalkeeper Felix Junghan has already kept the zero five times and ensures security in the box.

In the attack, both teams shine. FC Ingolstadt II has already scored 37 goals, which means almost two goals per game. Players like Jason Osei Tutu and Micah Ham are always dangerous. But Coach Schönfeld is dissatisfied with the number of opportunities that are played out. VfB Eichstätt, on the other hand, can rely on the return of Lucas Schraufstetter, the top scorer of the last season, who has hit three times since his comeback. With a total of 39 goals, VfB represents the second best storm series of the league.

Before the derby, FC Ingolstadt II has some personnel worries because several players have to fail and have to move up U21 players. Nevertheless, coach Schönfeld is combative: "We know that we play against one of the best teams in the league. Of course we still want to win." VfB Eichstätt, on the other hand, has no acute problems and goes into the game with self -confidence. Coach Dominic Rühl expects his team "DerbyMentality" and sends a clear message to the Schanzer: "We are aware that Ingolstadt is a bit more under pressure than we do."
