Overview
- The 3. Liga meeting at the Grünwalder offers 1860 a chance to steady their league position after volatile recent results.
- Coach Markus Kauczinski says the squad owes a reaction and notes his six‑week start has produced two wins and two losses.
- Injuries to Tunay Deniz, Morris Schröter, Jesper Verlaat, Raphael Schifferl and Kilian Jakob constrain selection on the flanks and in midfield.
- Florian Niederlechner boosted his case in cup and test wins and is in contention to start, with a local projection listing him alongside Sigurd Haugen.
- Saarbrücken’s winless run and governance tensions have increased pressure on coach Alois Schwartz following a 1:1 against Havelse.
