A Franconian-Bavarian clash in the second round of the DFB-Pokal: On Tuesday (20:45), SpVgg Greuther Fürth are playing at home, as they take on FC Ingolstadt. After modest starts in the Bundesliga 2, both teams will be hoping to use the cup to start building confidence.
It was not long ago that the clubs last met. It was only in late August that the two sides faced each other in Fürth. On that day, it was the visitors from Ingolstadt who came away with a result, as Sonny Kittel’s strike earned them a 1-0 win. It was their first league win following three defeats at the start of the season.
Fürth are responsible for Ingolstadt’s worst ever defeat
In their history, Fürth and Ingolstadt have met twelve times. Ingolstadt have won six and lost four, with two games ending in draws. Ingolstadt’s first Bundesliga 2 game was against Fürth on 17th August 2008, while the most noteworthy encounter came on 1st February 2009, when Fürth beat Ingolstadt 6-1, consigning them to their worst ever defeat.
The two sides have never met in the DFB-Pokal, so the fans are looking forward to this first cup clash. Fürth began the competition this year with a comfortable 5-0 win over SV Morlautern. FC Ingolstadt played away at TSV 1860 München and won 2-1 to progress to the second round.
