Rostock (dpa / mv) - After five wins in a row, third division soccer team FC Hansa Rostock will confidently go into the top game at 1860 Munich on Saturday (2 p.m. / NDR television).

«We drive confidently to Munich.

It is clear that 1860 has a good team.

But we have that too, ”said coach Jens Härtel on Thursday two days before the two former Bundesliga clubs met.

The Hansa coach does not expect a preliminary decision in the promotion battle.

“It's an important game for both teams to stay on top.

But it is by no means a crucial game.

The season is still long, ”said the 51-year-old.

Hansa is currently in third place with 38 points, one point ahead of the “Lions”.

The two direct promotion ranks currently held by Dynamo Dresden and FC Ingolstadt with 41 points each are within reach.

The Rostockers may have to replace three defensive assets in the duel between the two table neighbors.

"Simon Rhein, Julian Riedel and Tobias Schwede are hurt," said Härtel.

The Hansa coach is assuming a close match.

«1860 has a strong attack, we have a good defense.

So I think it can be an exciting game, ”he said.
