Full-time: Ulm 1-1 Fürth
An intense duel at the Donaustadion ends with a well-deserved draw, in which both teams showed their strengths but also their weaknesses. Fürth dominated in the early stages, took an early lead through a confidently converted penalty by Julian Green and initially controlled the match. However, Ulm fought their way back and equalised through Telalović from the spot. The second half offered fewer highlights, with neither team managing to get the clinical edge to score a winner.

Krattenmacher brilliance.
Once again, Krattenmacher showcases his talent, leaving several Fürth players in his wake. His through ball finds Higl perfectly in stride, and he only has Noll to beat. Higl doesn't take the shot himself though, instead trying to square it to Kahvić, and Itter intercepts the pass. There was more potential in that move!

Fürth not finding their shooting feet
Fürth lead the shot count 12-5, yet their only effort on target was Julian Green's penalty kick.

Too imprecise
Massimo unexpectedly gets the ball after a deflected pass from Hrgota, rounds Thiede but finds himself too wide. He lays it back to Futeku, but the shot is once again not placed well enough and is blocked.
71'
A hint of danger
Once again, Hrgota is on hand for the second ball after a Green corner. His shot is initially blocked by Kolbe, then Schwengers decides on a free kick for Ulm after some confusion in the penalty area.

Mistakes all over
First, Hyryläinen plays an errant pass under no pressure, then Massimo carelessly loses the ball while dribbling on the immediate counterattack. Both teams continue to appear nervous. The match is now very disjointed.

Half-time: Ulm 1-1 Fürth
After eight minutes of stoppage time, the half-time whistle sounds at the Donaustadion. Fürth started strongly, took the lead through a cool penalty from Green and controlled the game for a long time. Ulm then fought their way back into the match. Krattenmacher caused havoc, Telalović scored from the spot and brought the hosts back level. All-in-all it has been an exciting first period!

Krattenmacher again!
The young Ulm player gets the ball in the penalty area and takes it with a beautiful first touch. Dietz engages in the challenge and Krattenmacher goes down. Ulm immediately demand a penalty. A case for the Video Assistant Referee!

Krattenmacher's brilliance
The Ulm playmaker leaves half of Fürth's defence standing with his dribbling and then perfectly serves Telalović with a through ball. The striker plays it across, but Noll gets there just ahead of Meier.

Nice idea
Excellent vision from Brandt. The midfielder has spotted Telalović's run well and plays a lovely through ball into the Fürth penalty area. Telalović lays it off in front of goal, but no other Ulm player has is able to reach it, and Fürth can clear.
30'
Counter-attack
Krattenmacher drives the ball forward. He looks for Telalović up front, but Michalski just manages to intervene. The final ball from the Sparrows is still too imprecise.

Fürth attack again down the right
This time, Massimo has created some space on the right flank. The cross is cleared by Strompf, but falls directly to Green, who shoots immediately from 18 metres out. Two Ulm players throw themselves in front of the shot and block it. Fürth appeal for handball.

Three changes for Fürth
Cloverleaf coach Siewert makes three changes to his starting eleven compared to the last match (2-3 home defeat against Karlsruhe): Bansé, Meyerhöfer and Mustapha play in place of Asta (not in the squad), Müller (on the bench) and Srbeny (suspended due to yellow card accumulation).
Ulm with four changes
Sparrows manager Thomas Wörle makes four changes to his starting lineup compared to the last match (2-2 draw against Hertha): Strompf, Hyryläinen, Krattenmacher and Röser come in for Gaal, Higl (both on the bench), Ulrich (muscular problems) and Maier (suspended due to yellow card accumulation).
Fürth starting XI
Noll - Michalski, Dietz, Itter - Meyerhöfer, Banse, Green, Gießelmann - Hrgota (c), Massimo - Mustapha
Ulm starting XI
Thiede - Allgeier, Strompf, Kolbe - Meier, Hyryläinen, Brandt, Keller - Krattenmacher - Röser, Telalović
And this is what Wörle says
"We know it's going to be an exciting and difficult match. Two teams that both want to score points. We are also the underdogs in this match, which is certainly no secret. But we're underdogs who have gained a lot of confidence in recent weeks. We want to and will try everything to win the match at home in the Donaustadion."
Siewert on facing Ulm
"I'm focused on the fact that we have the chance to stay ahead of Ulm. That's what we want to project. We expect an opponent who will challenge us with power and directness. We need to be resilient and maintain good pressing intensity. That's the key phrase for the coming weeks: to be resolute, consistent, and resilient."
Clear favourite
The overall record in this Bundesliga 2 fixture clearly favours Fürth (five wins, two draws, one defeat).
Ulm victorious only once
Fürth have been unbeaten against Ulm for ten competitive matches (five wins, five draws). Ulm last defeated Fürth in March 1981, winning 3-0 at home in Bundesliga 2 South.
First encounter in 24 years
Ulm and Greuther Fürth are facing each other for the first time since the 2000/01 season - back then in Bundesliga 2, the Franconians won 1-0 at home, while in Ulm the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
