Dynamo Dresden coach Thomas Stamm does not see the big crowd at Berlin's Olympic Stadium against Hertha BSC "as a burden" for his team. In preparation for the match, which is classed as a high-risk game in the 2nd Bundesliga this Saturday (13:00/Sky), everything was the same as usual. "I would say I didn't feel anything like a change because we have a game like this coming up," said Stamm at a press conference in Dresden.
Advice to the Dynamo fans
A total of around 25,000 Dynamo fans are expected, with 11,000 officially in attendance. Also because many Dynamo supporters are spread out, the police are expecting clashes. They are deploying several hundred officers and Hertha have already announced that supporters in Dynamo fan clothing will be banned from entering the home area. "As soon as you are in the home area, please pack away your fan paraphernalia," was the message to fans on the Dynamo homepage.
In addition, 1. FC Union will also be playing in Berlin on Saturday at 3.30 pm. Their opponents at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei will be SC Freiburg, who are expected to have a comparatively small crowd of fans in Berlin-Köpenick.
