After 19 of a total of 34 match days, the Northeast season is freshly in the second half of the season, but due to the weather there are still up to two catch-up games for the teams.
This is also the case for FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt, who are top of the table with 35 points before the remaining games, have the best offense and third-best defense in the league.
With a 4:3 victory at relegation candidate SV Lichtenberg 47, the promoted team was able to overtake FC Energie Cottbus (0:1 at FSV Luckenwalde), who also had to let Chemnitzer FC (2:0 against Greifswalder FC) pass.

On the other hand, the Berlin AK 07, who held the top position from the 3rd to the 13th matchday, missed the leap to second place, but since then they have only collected four points and with 32 points are now on a par with last year’s champions BFC Dynamo.
Against the GDR record champion – in the meantime only league fourteenth – it was a 0:2 home defeat on Saturday.

FC Carl Zeiss Jena (3-0 against second-bottom Tennis Borussia Berlin – now 31 points), VSG Altglienicke (4-0 against BSG Chemie Leipzig – now 30 points) and SV also went up at the weekend Babelsberg 03 (1-0 against Hertha BSC II – now 29 points).
In addition to chemistry (also 29 points), there was also a painful 2-1 defeat for championship contenders 1. FC Lok Leipzig (30) against relegated FC Viktoria Berlin, which meant that Probstheida missed fourth place.
The bottom line is that there are just six points between Erfurt and BSG – and thus between more than half of all teams. It couldn’t be more exciting.

And with the BFC against the CFC on Friday (7 p.m.) the next cracker is waiting for the Regionalliga Nordost!
Bitter: The champions will not be promoted directly at the end of this season either, but will have to duel with the Bayern champions at the beginning of June. Only the winner is allowed to go up to the 3rd league.
