Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[mv1986]

I don't think the preparation time is an issue. I rather think that playing in the second league works differently than playing in the first league even motivation wise. In the first league you could be competing for international competitions and have seriously motivating goals. In the second league it is all about do or die. If they don't advance to the first league right away, they are wasting the club's time in the second league for another year. Also, if you once played first league it's quite the change to now play against some of those unknown second league clubs. It won't be an easy season for Werder and Schalke.

Actually, it is at time like this that the professionalism of a player who has received a contract from a team will be tested. Team need to win and win so that the second tier competition is only the basis for a quick return to the main competition next season. But if the motivation of the players is lost and they are playing badly just because they can't stay in the main competition, then I think it's time for the coach to give young talents a chance to get more playing time. However, the two team were really bad last season and it's only natural that they should be in the second tier this season.

That might indeed be a good point. I think a young guy who is around 18 - 20 years old will definitely give his best as he has still goals and wants to present himself in the best shape possible in order to make it into the first league. I think it is much harder for someone who played first league for 6 or 7 years, then goes down into the second league and is now supposed to play his very best to return into the first league right away. Could definitely end in a motivational dilemma.

Like expected from the league where there are a lot of goals. Both matches went into over 2.5 goals pretty easily. Had a parlay for both matches over 1.5 goals it came really easy to win me my bet.Karlsruher expect win at home against Darmstadt as well with 3-0

werder bremen who had new players coming this season still it was a good game by both teams its important to not lose the first game especially an away one.

Another point is, that for Werden Bremen (and Schalke 04), the second Bundesliga is a totally new environment. The preparation is different as the games start one week earlier. For the first Bundesliga, the teams have one week more time.

That was only one of many points I raised. Your points are also further arguments why it is different in the 2nd Bundesliga. Another point are the stadiums for example . Of course, it's a completely different atmosphere and environment when they play in Sandhausen or Hamburg.

what a final phase in the game fortuna düsseldorf vs. werder bremen...
fortuna equalizes in the 90+4 minunte to 2-2 and in the 90+6 minunte there is a hand penalty for werder bremen, which Maximilain Eggestein safely converted to 2-3 away victory for bremen 💪

[YuginKadoya]

We can see from the standings that Karlsruher and Jahn Regensburg both have 2 wins and are ahead of the standings, I guess the Regensburg is a formidable team, that can sure make it into the 1st Division Bundesliga but it is just getting started and pretty much it is still too early to say that they can really go beyond that without defeating every team in the league,

And look, Werder Berman has now had 1 win against Dusseldorf that won against SV Sandhaussen in their recent match, Werder Berman did a great job against Dusseldorf it was a pretty intense match indeed,

And right now in today's match, we can see if Dynamo or Hamburger SV can advance with two wins or not, or Holstein Kiel or Schalke can make 1 win or 2 losses today.

Well, you're happy about that, aren't you? Such final phases are always great to watch. This also makes Werber Bremen the only club from the north besides Hansa Rostock to win on this matchday and take 3 points to home.
I just noticed that there are 6 teams from the north in the 2nd Bundesliga. 

[YuginKadoya]

This is it Werder and Schalke are doing great Werder VS Dusseldorf has 2 - 3 and sad to say Schalke VS Holstein Kiel with 0 - 3, I think I had a wrong team in the 2nd Division to be regulated in the 1st division, but again Schalke is really a strong team to start with that is why they are regulated to the 1st division, but they really need to push themselves up back again and really give their all in the 2nd division and also Werder had done a great job in giving Dusseldorf a hard time, but still this is just the 2nd game they really need to prove themselves they can get the ticket in returning to the 1st division,

There will be no matchday in the 2nd Bundesliga this weekend. Instead, the first round of the DFB Cup will take place. But there will also be many interesting games and surprises. I'm curious to see which clubs will be knocked out in the first round.

yes. there are also many very interesting duels. osnabrück against werder bremen is one of these games. quite a few other teams have lost at bremer brücke/bridge.
that won't be an easy game for bremen. and braunschweig against hsv . i'm really curious whether the hambugers will win the game in braunschweig.
i myself could even imagine braunschweig winning. and rosock also has a very big chance of advancing to the next round. but on sunday evening we'll all be wiser.

Just like in the 1st Division the matchday will also be on August 14 well exciting matchup will surely have to wait and the following lineup for the 2nd Division will be,

Schalke VS Erzgebirge

FC St. Pauli VS Hamburger SV

SV Sandhausen VS Karlsruher

Nurnberg VS Dusseldorf

Holstein Kiel VS Jahn Regensburg

Right now I think the Australian Bundesliga is starting up tomorrow, and that is another event that will be a very exciting match as well, and right now the 1st in the standing is RB Salzburg that has 2 wins,

Pretty interesting game for Hamburg again against Pauli. That's the most intense derby the second league has to offer. If Hamburg manages to win that one after they beat Schalke last game, that would give them quite the head start and a psychological edge. It will definitely be an intense game. Looking forward to it!

Anyone putting bets on FC Schalke 04 being regulated? They are looking to sell Kabak for a tiny fee and I think a lot of other players will go this season. I might put a bet on them getting regulated because losing Kabak who is their best player for free will be a big blow to their other players. It will be interesting to see how they react to being regulated in their first match and who knows maybe they can regain some of their composure and form and get promoted again. I think if they do not manage to bounce bag then their heads will drop further and regulation will be inevitable.

the bremer bridge in osnabrück was again a big obstacle for bremen. bremen lost in osnabrück with 0:2.
but now the bremen have more power to make the promotion to the first bundesliga again because they have less games in the season.

To stand a chance to be promoted, Hamburg SV will have to work very hard to win this season. If not they risk going to relegation. They are already looking good on the table. Their attacking down the wings is strong however they must work on stopping opponents from creating chances. Well who knows they might just win the league.

Well, nothing has happened at all in regards to the final weeks of the season. It is just of big advantage to them psychologically if this time they manage to prove right from the start that they are strong enough to compete with the best of the second league. Last season they were just very unstable and gave away many games in the last 5 to 10 minutes. That hurts the players mentally and they start carrying that mental burden with them through the whole season.

Always Remember That They Are With Werder Bremen, Hannover 96 and Schalke in the 2.Bundesliga.

Only 2 matches have been carried out, Karlsruher and Regensburg lead the provisional standings with 6 points. But I firmly believe that the winner of the 2.Bundesliga this season comes from the club that was relegated before, could it be Schalke

Well nothing has been confirmed yet about Kabak's move. Leicester city in the Premier league is the frontrunner for his signature after Liverpool opted not to sign him after his loan expired. It would be absurd if they move forward to sell him. That loan move to Liverpool shouldn't even have happened because schalke needed his services more (Not tryna be bias despite being a Liverpool fan). That said, they need all hands on deck if they still plan on playing Bundesliga football next season.

Its too early to say but in order to do that shalke need improvements true after the big win in the last round it seems that they gained confidence but judging from the performance in the second half they need to improve their defencive strategy too many occasion for the opposition team but i think hamburg and werder bremen might be a contender to get back to the bundesliga.

I remember discussing how Shalke needs to improve if they wish to be promoted again, and it looks like they’re working hard behind the scenes to make it happen. Furthermore you’re right with teams like Werder Bremen and Hannover 96 battling for promotion all the other teams will have to step up, otherwise I feel two slots are already booked.

For me, it is also too early to make a decision. When Hamburger SV was relegated 3 or 4 years ago, most people were convinced that they would be promoted again immediately. And when it didn't work out, many thought that it would work out then the next year...and the next year and so on.
Probably one of the teams mentioned will be promoted. But there will also be many surprises.
