Munich (dpa/lby) - 1860 Munich coach Michael Köllner is looking forward to the visit of many friends and acquaintances in the Bavarian-Franconian duel of the 3rd football league at SpVgg Bayreuth. "It's not far away, my family will come too," said Köllner before his team's guest appearance on Saturday (2 p.m. / Magenta Sport). The "lion" coach comes from Fuchsmühl, which is only about 50 kilometers from Bayreuth.
In terms of personnel, Köllner has no worries with his second in the table. Maybe even Marcel Bär is back in the squad, who has been training with his colleagues on the pitch all week. "Let's see if it's enough," said Köllner cautiously about the top scorer in the third division last season, who has been missing since the end of July due to a foot injury.
Köllner expects a lot of resistance from the bottom of the table from Franconia. "Bayreuth will do everything, defensively stand tight in the block and go through the transition game," said Köllner. The Bayreuth would "give 105 percent."
