Why the match matters for Greuther Fürth

The derby with 1. FC Nürnberg is a preparation highlight because it lets young players test themselves against a strong side. Coach Stefan Kuntz stresses that the result is secondary; the focus is on solidifying patterns. For supporters the new standing terrace in Ansbach means 500 extra tickets are now on sale – the stadium isn’t sold out.

What fans can expect in Bamberg

About 70 km north, FC Eintracht Bamberg awaits Greuther Fürth at the Fuchs‑Park Stadium, with an earlier 17:00 kick‑off. Besides the sporting duel, there’s a visual treat: Fürth will debut its new away kit. A brother showdown adds intrigue – Felix Müller (Bamberg) faces Philipp Müller (Fürth).

Ticket and visitor information for both games

Regionalliga side SpVgg Ansbach has opened ticket sales for the Nürnberg match. Fans can purchase seats via the official ticket shop. The Fuchs‑Park Stadium also offers a pre‑sale, with capacity slightly increased thanks to the new terrace. Both towns anticipate strong attendance as the friendlies serve as a key warm‑up for the upcoming season.

What comes next after the friendlies?

Following the two test matches, Greuther Fürth will analyse the performances to fine‑tune tactics for the 2. Bundesliga. The recent form trend (WLWWL) shows three wins in the last five games. With 49 goals scored and 68 conceded, the goal difference remains negative, but the coaching staff is working on defensive stability. The next official league fixture arrives in August, when Fürth meets league leaders FC Schalke 04 – another benchmark for the season ahead.
