FC at the Fahner Höhe vs. Hildburghausen: Cup battle is imminent!

In the coming week, the two teams, FC at the Fahner Höhe and FSV 06 Eintracht Hildburghausen, are opposed in the Thuringia Cup. The tension could not be greater because both sides have a lot to win. This is an important game, especially for guests from Hildburghausen, as they move into the round of 16 for the third time in the club's history.

The game will take place on Sunday, October 13, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. on the artificial turf pitch in Hildburghausen. Artur Macht, the captain of the FC at the Fahner Höhe, will also take responsibility in this important encounter. With a size of over two meters, he is not only an impressive figure on the square, but also an experienced player who will surely help his team. On the other hand, Johannes Schelhorn, the captain of Eintracht, is also a central defender and a fixture on the defensive of his team.

The favorite role

FC on the Fahner Höhe is clear favorite, and this is the good reason: the team is currently leading the Thuringia League and has also made a name for itself in the state cup in recent years. The association reached the final in 2021, where it only had to give up in the extension to FC Carl Zeiss Jena.

"The cup is of great importance for us. It opens up the opportunity to play on special stages and such experiences are priceless," said it. In contrast, Schelhorn sees the game more pragmat. "It's a game like any other. Of course it is nice to measure yourself with higher classes, but I am sober to the task," said the 36-year-old.

The previous encounters in cup games give Court to FSV 06 Hildburghausen: So far, the team has already thrown two association leagues out of the competition. Schelhorn, who has contested some of these fights with the harmony, lively remembers his experiences. A key game was the round of 16 in 2016 against Altenburg, which Eintracht won 1-0, even if he had to sit on the bench due to an injury.

memories and expectations

The past left its mark: Schelhorn had already played against the FC's predecessor in the 2009/2010 season. While the first leg in Hildburghausen was lost 0-2, his team celebrated a surprising 2-1 victory in the second leg. "These memories make the upcoming game all the more exciting, and I hope that we will be similarly successful," the captain looks optimistic about the upcoming challenge.

For power, the encounter will be something completely new, since he has never played against Hildburghausen. Nevertheless, he remains confident that the preparation and team spirit of his club will be the decisive factors. "We focus on our game. If we call up our potential and keep the concentration up, we should be able to win in Hildburghausen," says it.

The meeting promises to become an exciting duel. Players of both teams are motivated and will give everything to move into the next round of the Thuringia Cup.
