1860 München Face Illertissen in Toto-Pokal After Secret Training

Illertissen’s giant-killer pedigree paired with 1860’s recent cup stumbles makes an upset a realistic threat.

Overview

  • The Achtelfinale tie kicks off Saturday at 14:00 at FV Illertissen and will be broadcast on BR Fernsehen.
  • Coach Patrick Glöckner ordered a closed training session and is reported to limit rotation to avoid another early exit.
  • Illertissen recently knocked 1. FC Nürnberg out of the DFB-Pokal and have won three of the last four Bavarian Landescups.
  • 1860 lost at Illertissen in the 2022 Toto-Pokal and, since winning the trophy in 2020, have suffered multiple early eliminations.
  • Striker Daniel Gerstmayer, who scored a past Toto-Pokal winner against 1860 and now plays for Illertissen, has already scored in this season’s cup rounds, while 1860 balanced preparations with their Angermaier tracht fitting ahead of a team Wiesn visit on 23 September.
