Get ready for a thrilling Gauteng derby as TSV 1860 Munich U19s lock horns with FC Bayern Munich U19s today! The highly anticipated match kicks off at 15:00 SAST, promising a spectacle of young talent and fierce competition.
After their recent cup game in Mönchengladbach, 1860 Munich's U19 squad is expected to undergo some changes. Mauricio Dunker could return in goal, and Mustafa Tekin, who impressed with two goals in the season opener against Freiburg, is likely to start. However, Paul Sturm, Noah Plöttner, and Bruno Mühl are expected to miss out due to injuries. Emre Erdogan, who recently sat on the bench for the first team, might also be an option for coach Jonas Schittenhelm.
Meanwhile, TSV 1860 Munich is launching a unique initiative, offering free friendly matches to lower-league clubs. The only condition is that the host club must not charge admission. In return, TSV 1860 will waive any appearance fees or profit sharing from food and beverage sales. Clubs interested in hosting a friendly against the Lions can apply by emailing regio-tour@tsv1860.de, providing details about their club, venue, and reasons why TSV 1860 should choose them.
In other team news, Christoph Ehlich, who trained with the team for a few days, is no longer participating, while goalkeeper Miran Qela has rejoined the squad. The Kosovo U19 international had been sidelined with a broken finger sustained at the start of pre-season.
