In the Abbey of the 2nd Bundesliga Bends the SSV Ulm 1846 football on Friday (6.30 p.m.) on the home straight. Four games are still on the program. Four endgames for the sparrows. The first of them leads the promoted team to SpVgg Greuther Fürth. A team that last won a competitive game on February 28 (2-1 in Düsseldorf). This has not escaped SSV head coach Robert Lechleiter. However, he also knows about the FRANKE’s football qualities.

The staff: It still looks good with the Ulmen. Felix Higl returns to the squad after served yellow lock. Except for captain Johannes Reichert, Lechleiter has all of his boys in training. « At Jo, it gets better from day to day after his blow, » says the coach, and in this context emphasizes the importance of the lead wolf: « He lives the club, he also lives the direction we want to go, and is therefore a very important factor in the team. But health is going on, » says Lechleiter. A personnel for the coming season has already been clarified: the contract of midfielder Max Brandt has automatically extended until June 30, 2026 due to a clause. The 23-year-old will continue to play for the sparrows-regardless of the league affiliation. SSV Managing Director Markus Thiele says: « Max is a very important part for us. If we are going to us, we are planning beyond 2026 with him. But first we want to do everything we can to get out of the four end games that remain the maximum until the end of the season. »

The starting point: At the beginning of the week at SSV Ulm 1846 football was about working up the Home defeat against Hertha BSC (2: 3). « We spoke things out that we did not do well. Especially in the minutes after the half -time break. But nobody is demonized when he makes a mistake. This is a learning process, » says Lechleiter. In Fürth, the sparrows want to build on the strong performance that they had shown against Berlin in the first half. « Even after the double strike we collected, I really liked a lot, » the coach continues. Anything but an away win would be another setback in the fight for relegation. Eintracht Braunschweig (in Regensburg) is already seven points away and almost out of reach, Prussia Münster (home to Darmstadt) on the relegation square currently has two more points than the sparrows.

As table-14. the SpVgg Greuther Fürth is almost safe

The opponent: SpVgg Greuther Fürth seems to be table-14. to be safe. But the lead is deceptive, because the Franks have only scored three points from the past six games. For comparison: the Ulm collected seven points in the same period. Lechleiter says: « It is a team that comes a lot about the footballing and starts aggressively. Your system is similar to ours. »

The fans: The support is still huge. Around 2000 fans accompany the sparrows to Fürth on Friday evening. The box office at the Ronhof sports park is still open for spending part.
