Sandhausen Snaps Stalemate Streak: Clear Plans in Place for 1860 Munich Showdown
SV Sandhausen Aims for Seventh Win of the Season Against 1860 Munich
SV Sandhausen is on track to secure their seventh win of the season, having drawn their last three matches. Despite falling behind in each game, they managed to pull out a 1-1 draw. Following a draw with Bee, the league lead shifted to Cottbus.
SVS coach Sreto Ristic reflected on recent games, stating, “The results did not satisfy us, but the performances were good.” He added, “I’m sure we could have scored more points, but we could have gotten less.” Sandhausen, tied on points with Cottbus, remains firmly in the title race. However, their next opponent suffered a heavy 1-5 loss to Cottbus in their last match.
Ristic cautioned against underestimating the Munich Lions, saying, “They are like injured boxers and we have seen they can put up a fight. 1860 are a team with a strong squad and were considered promotion favorites by many before the start of the season.” He highlighted their strengths, noting, “They can transition quickly and have a strong presence in the penalty area.”
The match against 1860 Munich is scheduled for Saturday, 2 November, at 2 pm and will be broadcast live on swr.de/sport and on the YouTube channel SWR Sport Fußball. Ristic expects a balanced game, stating, “It will be a game at eye level and we will not risk everything. We have to approach it seriously and have a clear plan.”
Additionally, Ristic will have to contend with the loss of two players for the game against Munich. Besar Halimi and Jeremiah Rohrch received one-match suspensions for receiving their fifth yellow card in the match against Bee. Ristic emphasized the need for every player to give their best, saying, “We need to give everything, we need 11 players to be at 100% – maybe more than that.”
