Lions hungry for third win! Will it continue against Dortmund?

TSV 1860 Munich have fought back in recent weeks and are now looking for their third win in a row as the team travel to Borussia Dortmund II next Saturday. After a difficult start to the season with a lot of criticism, the team has recovered and achieved two wins in the last two games. A 1-0 against Arminia Bielefeld was followed by another 1-0, this time against Hannover 96 II. Now the next challenge awaits with the game against the second team from Borussia Dortmund.

In the first week of October, the mood among the “Lions” is optimistic. After the home win against Hannover, coach Argirios Giannikis was able to praise not only the three points, but also the morale of his players. Managing director Christian Werner also spoke positively about the coach's work and emphasized that it is not just the results that count, but also the development of the players and the team itself. "There used to be an Oktoberfest curse, but we have now won two games in a row. It can continue like this," explained Giannikis after the home win.

Live broadcast of the game

The upcoming game will take place on Saturday, September 28th at 2:00 p.m. and will be broadcast live on pay TV on Magenta. A free transfer is not offered. The encounter is an important test for the Munich team, who are interested in continuing their current series.

The last game and important players

The Lions' recent success did not come without challenges. During the game against Hannover 96 II, the team was dominant in the first half, but it took until the 41st minute when Patrick Hobsch scored the decisive goal with a header - his first goal for the club since moving from Unterhaching. The defense had to overcome some difficult situations, including Hanover's Tom Sanne missing a great chance to equalize.

Despite a temporary setback when defender Raphael Schifferl had to leave the field because of a red card, the Lions were able to maintain their narrow lead over time. The coach later admitted that the team had missed the opportunity to decide the game more clearly, which can quickly become a disadvantage in such an exciting football game. But there are glimmers of hope for future games.

With its recent successes, TSV 1860 could come a little closer to the calm waters it is striving for. The team has proven that it has learned from its mistakes and spectators are likely to see an exciting and competitive game when they meet Borussia Dortmund II on Saturday. Successful performances in the 3rd league are becoming increasingly important for the club and its supporters, and the hope for a positive turn in the season could finally be fulfilled.
