On the way to today’s game at the Hans Zoschke Stadion, named for an anti-fascist resistance fighter executed in 1944, you pass through a small park containing a plaque commemorating one Kurt Schneider, killed right here by far-right thugs in 1999.
The ‘Fuck AfD’ graffiti to be seen around the ground is only slightly uplifting. But it does cheer, a bit.
It’s “catch-up” games in the NOFV Oberliga Nord this week (Tier V, Berlin Region).
These games affect the whole division, but the points weigh heavier for the teams near the bottom (see table).
Viktoria Berlin, Croatia Berlin & Dynamo Schwerin (today’s away team) are all under severe pressure. Meanwhile, at the top, Tasmania Berlin lead the way on 49 points, from Lichtenberg with 44.
Meanwhile, a glance at the Torjäger (top scorer) table shows Lichtenberg with 5 players into double figures.
So if any of the betting apps covered this tier of football, I’d be straight in on ‘over 3.5 goals’.
But they don’t.
