Ingolstadt (dpa / lby) - Trainer Tomas Oral from FC Ingolstadt expects a close promotion race before the start of the 3rd soccer league.
“We have a group of eight or nine teams who will be involved in the top, but I don't want to commit myself who is a candidate for promotion.
You can see from the commitments that Rostock or 1860 Munich make, for example, that everyone has the right to climb up in the quiet, ”Oral said in an interview with the“ Donaukurier ”(Wednesday).
"It will be very interesting who will still be in the top on matchday 30."
The FCI went into the winter break as second in the table with 28 points after 16 games.
Dresden as the front runner has 35 points in 17 games.
The FCI will continue on Sunday with a home game against MSV Duisburg.
Oral's interim conclusion is positive.
«The club was faced with major tasks due to the relegation and difficult preparation.
We got the curve well for that, ”said the coach.

In the dramatic relegation, the Upper Bavarians had only just missed promotion against 1. FC Nürnberg.
"We will continue to work concentrated so that we can tackle the goal that I personally formulated briskly at the beginning," said Oral.
The FCI would like to make the promotion clear this year.
TSV 1860 Munich is the direct pursuer.
