Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[hahay]

Paderborn is not a weak opponent and even though Schalke dominate head to head, but at this moment I would doubt Schalke can get full points. Also, even though Schalke can win the match Schalke's position will still be the same as the top contenders like Hamburger and Darmstadt have opponents that seem easy for them on paper. But yes, after all, Schalke must still get 3 points in order to continue to overshadow the top 3 rankings, because of course Schalke still have that opportunity.

actually the game is a very important one for sc paderborn, because in order to play for promotion they have to win today against schalke 04 in order not to completely lose contact with the first three places.
also heidenheim will have a hard time today - dynamo dresden will give everything to at least not lose the home game to get some important points against the relegation

Schalke is leading 1-0 26min into the game. Quotes are now 1.4/4.3/8.0
This is a very important game for both teams. A loss means losing contact for both of them to the top positions. Paderborn will definitely fight

Dresden vs Heidenheim still 0-0 with current quotes of 3.7/2.7/2.3. Dresden could live with a draw here, maybe we won't see many goals.

Schalke took it home. It's crazy how close the table is. Lots of contenders for 1. Bundesliga qualifiers. St. Pauli lost 10 out 15 points!! during the last 5 games and they are still in the first position. Man, they could have been through already if they performed decently. They next couple of games are relatively easy for them, or let's say seemingly easier. Werder Bremen got a 5 out 5 winning streak now. Got to count them in obviously.

I would say the top six teams at the top of the points table have an equal chance of qualifying for the Bundesliga. My guess is that Paoli will rule the second Bundesliga this season. But lost points in 5 matches in a row. Now Pauli's qualification is uncertain. Now Werder Bremen is most likely to top the table, as they are playing consistently well now. Schalke is a good team but they are not regular.

Bremen won 8 out of the last 10 games
Hamburg and Darmstadt 6
St. Pauli and Schalke only 4
If this trend continues, then Bremen is in the Top3 safely. Hamburg again has the potential for sure, but their nerves were not the strongest towards the end of the season in the last years. Maybe they get their stuff together this year. I kind of think Schalke has a good chance against the competition. Darmstadt seems unstable after their 0-5 and St. Pauli is on outsider currently as they lost so many points in the last weeks. But as you said the situation is so close that it might look completely different in a couple of weeks.

I still a little pissed off because darmstadt isn't in 1st place. But it's only 1 point, too the top, that's nothing. They could have lead the League with 2 points and the upcoming games with extreme motivation, but now the situation is more difficult. In few Minutes Werder Bremen will play against SV Ingolstadt and Hamburger SV against SV Sandhausen. I hope that both are not successful, because I want to see darmstadt back on first place. There are now 5 teams that are only 1 point from the top of the league, now very exciting in the 2nd Bundesliga. And now Liveticker on: I hope i don't read goals for Bremen and Hamburg. Sorry to all fans.

Bremen and Hamburg were not able to win, both only got a draw against weaker teams from the bottom third of the ranking (Bremen vs Ingolstadt 1-1, Sandhausen vs Hamburg 1-1). This is the chance for St. Pauli and Darmstadt tomorrow to gain points relative to them. Who knows, maybe Darmstadt will be on the top tomorrow

The Werder Bremen versus Ingolstadt match has actually ended and the score is a 1-1 draw between the teams. Werder Bremen were actually the better team in this match and they had a lot more control over the match. Both the goals were scored in the second half of the match.

The hamburger SV vs SV Sandhausen match has also ended in a draw and the score is 1-1. In this case, SV Sandhausen scored an early goal only in 15 minutes of the match and after that, the whole match was dominated by hamburger SV. I think in the end SV Sandhausen were really lucky to come out with a point from that match.

Incredibly, even both play to a draw. I should have bet on that. I'm happy about that and now the motivation at Darmstadt is rising. They can go to the top of the league tomorrow. Hansa Rostock won the game 2-1 in the first leg. That was not a good time in Darmstadt, bad performance and a new coach. When that was over, there have a really good time. Tomorrow, they will definitely want to win the game to stay at the top. The Bundesliga is the plan!

[cygan]

yes, both clubs hamburg and bremen could not win their games against supposedly weaker teams fighting against relegation...
in addition, jahn regensburg lost 0-2 in nürnberg in the evening and can now completely say goodbye to the fight for promotion - it can happen so quickly (at the end of the year, the club was still among the top and now occupies a safe place in the middle of the table)
tomorrow darmstadt and st.pauli (both with a home match) can still pass bremen and hamburg...

Either Darmstadt or St. Pauli. One of the two teams should be on top of the table tomorrow.
The draws from Bremen and Hamburg surprised me a bit. But we are entering the phase where teams with 2-3 defeats will have a hard time catching up again. Nervous maybe?

Tomorrow's match between Düsseldorf and Aue will also be interesting.

[cygan]

st. pauli (0-3 against hannover 96) and darmstadt (1-1 against hansa rostock) failed to take advantage of werder bremen's loss of points yesterday to move past werder into first place in the table.
werder bremen is now on first place after the matchday and next sunday there will be a showdown in hamburg where hamburg and werder will meet for the norddebry.

Bundesliga 2 seems to be the most competitive League of all right now, to be honest. The point difference is really almost nonexistent all throughout the table.

From positions 1 to 7, there is only a difference of 6 points between the teams. And the top 3 are still up for anyone to take, in my opinion. Darmstadt is playing well this season and I would not be surprised if they actually go on to claim the first position in the league. It's going to be hard work for Werder Bremen to stay in the first position.

Oh wow, I just saw the results and it is a bit of a surprise for sure. The big winner this week was Schalke (and maybe Nürnberg when extending the range a bit). It doesn't look good for St. Pauli. They performed very poorly in the last weeks and might move further down unless they can turn things around soon.

This has been going on for several weeks, the gap between the teams is not changing at all. If Darmstadt had more luck in the first 10 games of the season, they would now on first place with a large lead. Every team wants to be in the Bundesliga, that's the top Challenge. The Earnings are extreme = more money for the players and Team, and more Success.

I actually expected a lot with these two teams but unfortunately their performance was very far from my expectations especially for St Pauli.
St Pauli and Darmstadt performances were actually quite good at the start of the league but now they seem to have lost their way in their game and failed to maximize the chances they should have when maximizing this well they will return to the top position.

Schalke is definitely the huge winner on this weekend. Out of the first six teams only Schalke managed to actually win their game. All the other teams are starting to show some nerves here as it seems. Especially Darmstadt and St. Pauli. Who would have thought two months ago that Pauli will drop in the table by so much? They seemed to really have it already and won all their games, now dropping point after point.

Hamburg played a draw and St. Pauli losed his game. I did not expect that. St. Pauli's head seems to be in the game now (mentality). That was shown by the two unrealised penalties. That was the first home game they lost. They now have to show that they can get out of it.

Didn't expect St Pauli to lose this match. This was the match that could potentially secure them first place in the league. But now they are still not very far behind. Only one point behind the first-place team.

So, it still should not be a big problem. I honestly like how this league is being played out because it's rare to see any league this competitive.
