  • TSV 1860 Munich will visit third-placed DJK Vilzing three days after losing in the state cup to regional league leaders TSV Buchbach.
  • Coach Alper Kayabunar called the match important and said the team must focus fully on the league.
  • The game will mark Vilzing’s first home meeting with 1860 Munich before a sold-out crowd of 2,500, while investor Hasan Ismaik has threatened legal action over the club’s insolvency proceedings.

TSV 1860 Munich has no time to dwell on its cup defeat. Three days after losing to regional league leaders TSV Buchbach in the state cup round of 16, the team faces another demanding test away to third-placed DJK Vilzing.

We have no time to complain for long. We have a very intensive week. It is a very important away game for us. Now our concentration is fully on the league.

· Alper KayabunarThe 1860 Munich coach discussed the team’s response to its cup defeat.

Coach Alper Kayabunar said 1860 must win on Friday to maintain contact with the teams above it. “We have no time to complain for long. We have a very intensive week. It is a very important away game for us. Now our concentration is fully on the league,” he said.

Kayabunar described Vilzing as an established regional league side with a dangerous attack, but also one that can concede goals. Vilzing has three more points than 1860, although the Munich club has played one fewer match. The fixture is a special first for the hosts, with the 2,500-capacity Manfred Zollner Stadium sold out for weeks.

In my view, the insolvency was brought about in breach of duty by those responsible at 1860.

· Hasan IsmaikThe investor criticized the club’s handling of its insolvency proceedings.

Off the field, investor Hasan Ismaik has spoken out after insolvency proceedings began this week against TSV München von 1860 KGaA. According to media reports, he has threatened lawsuits and accused club officials of causing the insolvency in breach of their duties. “In my view, the insolvency was brought about in breach of duty by those responsible at 1860,” Ismaik told Süddeutsche Zeitung. He said the alleged injustices would not go unanswered.

None of these injustices will go unanswered.

· Hasan IsmaikIsmaik threatened further action over what he described as a long-planned strategy against his interests.
