Off the pitch: Hanover vs. Braunschweig

November 8, 2013

Supporters of these two sides loathe each other. They have the bitterest rivalry in German football, one that makes Schalke and Dortmund clashes look like a positive love-in. But for the past two decades, Hanover and Braunschweig hadn't faced up. Next weekend will change all that. This is their first Bundesliga clash in 37 years.

Hanover won the last match-up 2:0. As both sides steel themselves for the weekend, two members of the KickOff team lock horns. Nils is a Hanover fan, Marc is a Braunschweig diehard. Together, they travel back to their old childhood haunts, seeking an explanation for their team's notorious rivalry.
