In the third game in less than a week, TSV Burglengenfeld receives. SV Neukirchen hits Kareth’s heights.
For many years, the national soccer team TSV KarethLappersdorf has played its home games on Friday. The floodlight kick brings a pleasant side effect for the players with the final whistle: a free weekend. Occasionally, the purple-whites were able to make a leap forward in the table with a three-point for one night, because the competition was usually only in action on Saturday or Sunday. On Friday evening, TSV (5th, 8 points) can theoretically climb to the top of the table when SV Neukirchen Hl. Blut (2nd, 10th) makes a guest appearance at Kareths Heights at 7 p.m. However, the practice gives the Landesliga Mitte an unprecedented major battle day with five games. With the exception of top favorite SpVgg Weiden (3rd, 9th), the top quintet, which is two points apart, comes up.

When stadium announcer Thomas Kirschner presents the line-up shortly before kick-off, the audience will be amazed at the number of non-German-sounding names of Neukirchen’s players. In the four games so far, the guests have only recruited three locals in the starting eleven. There are eight of them in the 20-man squad, plus nine Czechs, two Bulgarians and one Ukrainian. The background: In the Bavarian Forest – from the Upper Palatinate perspective – two Bayern league clubs, three regional league clubs and five district league clubs are fighting over the players, and every year a swing changes clubs. Neukirchen’s functionaries had to cope with an enormous bloodletting in the changeover period, so it is in the nature of things to look around the Czech Republic, which is four kilometers away as the crow flies.
“Neukirchen got really good footballers, especially in the game forward”, judges Kareth’s coach Matthias Bösl about the opponent: “This is now a real touchstone so that we know where we stand”. He identified the troops expected from Hohenbogenwinkel by video with a 4: 4: 2 system. However, Bösl’s matchday squad offers less clarity: Goalgetter Aaron Bice and central defender Michael Gröschl are in question. One thing is clear, however: With team youngster Timo Sterl, the ninth player is now out. Good for those who have a squad of 25 field players.

The end of its English week in the regional football league center marks for TSV Neutraubling (6th, 7 points) also on Friday evening at 6.30 p.m. the home game against ASV Burglengenfeld (12th, 3th) – after the promoted only two days ago had to go against Bad Abbach. Given the tight schedule with the third game within less than a week, Neutraubling’s coach André Kleinknecht would be satisfied with one point at home. “We have to go through this. Burglengenfeld will compete, so we will compete “, Kleinknecht practices gallows humor. They would like to add another three points after Wednesday’s 2-0 home win, “We should manage it physically and mentally”.
The Wacker coach does not underestimate the opponent despite his weak start to the season. “Burglengenfeld has come in a little now. All of this is slowly being found. A difficult task awaits us precisely because they go into the game very rested “says Kleinknecht. But it should be a point. In terms of personnel, nothing will change at TSV compared to the Abbach game.
