BERLIN (Interstat) — FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin will look to snap a four-match losing streak when it hosts Optik Rathenow on Friday, May 15, in an Oberliga clash at the Stadion Lichterfelde.

Optik Rathenow enters the contest riding momentum after a 4-2 home victory over TUS Makkabi on May 9. That win improved the visitors’ record to 3-2-1 in their last six outings. The club has been solid on the road, earning a 1-1 draw at Tennis Borussia Berlin on May 1 and a 2-1 win at Berliner AK 07 on April 18. Overall, Optik Rathenow has posted a 4-5-3 mark in its past 12 fixtures, with the only losses coming against Lichtenberg (1-0 on April 3) and Siedenbollentin (2-1 on March 28).

The home side, FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin, has struggled in recent weeks. A 3-0 victory over VfR Schwarz-Weiss Warbeyen on May 10 snapped a four-game skid that included defeats to Siedenbollentin (5-2), Sparta Lichtenberg (7-3), Tasmania Berlin (3-0) and Anker Wismar (3-1). The win was only the second for Viktoria in its last 11 matches. The club’s defense has been a concern, conceding at least three goals in six of those contests, including a 7-0 loss at Lichtenberg on March 4.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 4-1 victory for Optik Rathenow. The service’s ELO-based model gives the visitors a 55.40 percent probability of winning, making them slight favorites. Optik Rathenow’s attacking output has been consistent, scoring multiple goals in four of its past six games. Viktoria, meanwhile, has managed more than one goal only once in that same span — during the 7-3 loss to Sparta Lichtenberg.

Friday’s matchup carries implications for the lower half of the Oberliga table. Both teams are seeking consistency as the season enters its final weeks. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. local time at Stadion Lichterfelde.
