Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[hahay]

Despite playing away but Werder Bremen played well in this match against Regensburg, a team that is currently in the top three, however Werder Bremen must continue to strive to consistently get full points. Considering Werder Bremen is a downcast team, of course Werder Bremen has more capital and experience. It's a shame if Werder Bremen can't immediately return to the main Bundesliga next season, because if I consider the points obtained now I personally would still say it's difficult for Werder Bremen to be in the top three at the end of the season.

I think it will be a game with lots of goals: DARMSTADT vs PADERBORN
Three goal scorers of the Top5 ranking of the 2. Liga play in this match. Luca Pfeiffer and Phillip Tietz from Darmstadt each have 12 goals in this season and Sven Michel from Paderborn has 13 goals. That are 37 goals the three have scored. I'm betting on more than 2.5 goals.

Notable matches for me will be, Schalke VS Nurnberg, and Paderborn VS Darmstadt, this should be an interesting match up. 

The difference between 2nd and 8th place are only 3 points. A lot can change after this matchday. The top match is between Paderborn and Darmstadt. It is a 6-point game for both. Nurnberg against Schalke is also interesting. Nurnberg has only one point more.

Upon posting this, Schalke VS Nurnberg is happening and Schalke is doing great and right now the goal is at 4 - 1 I guess Schalke is winning this, I was surprised I really thought that Nurnberg will do much but Schalke have pulled a great distance with the score, now Schalke is really determined to return back to the 1st division so I think it is not really too late for them to make a comeback and get the 1st spot on the standings,

Right now the match between Jahn Regensberg and Werder is also in session and the score is 2 - 3 where Werder is doing great, pretty much this could settle where Werder might win.

St.Pauli won the match easily against Schalke and now has 6 more points then the second placed team.They dominated the entire match and is going hard for the first place while Schalke now is far behind those top3 places and need to go on a good run if they want to return to the Bundesliga

well... they are not that far behind currently. Even if Regensburg and Hamburg win, it'll be only 3 points. Much can happen next year, the differences between the teams are not that big. For sure Schalke would need to have a good run to get ahold of a spot in the Top3 though

Schalke can be in the top three if they play their best football. because, in my opinion, Schalke is a better quality team than their performance currently suggests. It is going to be a tough job for them if they continue such a playstyle. If you look at the point difference I don't think that it should be that tough because if they win in one match they can potentially be in the top three, because the point difference is not very big even up to the second place.

For how long has that been the talk all over the place? Schalke has the quality and so on. They just can't deliver and that is blatantly obvious. That's not only the case this year, it has been the case for years now. Only chaos within the club. The biggest winner this weekend is St. Pauli and they deserve it. Both of the closest contenders lost their games even though it was kind of unexpected.

I totally agree with what you said, Schalke now have a lot of internal obstacles that make the club's performance not develop well.
Btw now they are still playing thanks to Fabian's equalizer in the 50th minute.
In this match I am not taking sides with both teams but if you look at it it looks like Schalke will lose this match

Maybe yesterday that was the opener they needed for the season, but now the Christmas break is around the corner. The 4 - 1 might serve them well even though the result doesn't fully reflect the game. Two late goals make the game look more impressive for Schalke than it actually was.

Yes, maybe that is the kind of push they need the Christmas break will surely become a schedule to rest for all teams, but Schalke is now giving their all, and now St. Pauli has made another draw against Dusseldorf I think this is a chance for teams that are near the 1st stranding, maybe they will have a break-in after they win against Hamburger SV, they can surely take their spot, now that they are giving their all and having a blast with their performance, maybe Schalke can make a comeback into the 1st division, right now Schalke has 9 wins 2 Draws and 6 losses, while Hamburger SV has 7 wins 8 Draws and 2 losses, even though Schalke have the much-winning score they can not overtake Hamburger now because there have most wins and Hamburger have the most draws that is why they surely gained some score regarding it, but I believe that Schalke will sure manage to win this.

But now they can't be careless first, their opponent next week will be Hamburger who incidentally is one of the strong teams in the Bundesliga 2.
I feel they are very balanced and their points are the same, it would be great when schalke do something like they did in yesterday's game but hamburgers are doing pretty well too.

it remains very close in the first half of the table in the 2. bundesliga
st. pauli, with 36 points, has a 4-point lead over 2nd-place darmstadt 98 - but then, from 2nd place to 9th (werder bremen with 26 points), a very interesting zone begins ... only 6 points separate 2nd place from 9th place
the fight for promotion to the 1. bundesliga will remain very exciting at the end of the season

I was just about to post this. The difference between 3rd and 9th is crazy. The 2. Bundesliga is always relatively close, but I am not sure it was as close as this in past seasons. They are all contenders for the 1. Bundesliga qualifiers and it will be a tough call even at the end of the season I believe. Pauli leaving points on the table is painful and they'll be angry about that for sure.

For a long time now, I have also found the 2nd league much more exciting than the first one.
In the 1. Bundesliga, it is 99% clear who will be first at the end of the season. The 2nd - 5th places are usually occupied by the same teams, but sometimes there are surprises. But now you can see how strong the second Bundesliga has become and that many teams have the quality to get promoted. But whether they will survive in the first Bundesliga is another matter.

Yes although I am not a big fan of watching the second Bundesliga, I totally get what you mean. If we had a similar situation in the first Bundesliga it would be much more interesting to watch. Now Bayern is again 6 points ahead of Borussia Dortmund and that probably won't change. Bayern even lost one of their last five games and they still lead by six points. It is kind of boring to follow the league.

But in comparison there are almost too many teams fighting for the top ranks. It would be more appealing if it was a fight between 3 or 4 top teams. But if half of the league can win the season then it is a bit arbitrary and hard to follow as a more or less neutral observer

Should I say the second league is fighting too hard for recognition and so the just choose to give in their all to see of they could get enough fans and sponsors. Football is only entertaining when there are fans who supports and endorse the team. Bundles league first team we just have a few clubs striving for the top maybe because the are too relaxed or maybe lack of funds. But I see more passion in the second league

I'm not a big fan of Bundesliga teams either, but somehow I'm a little bit attracted to Bayern Munchen especially when they play for the Champions League. I watched them a few times this season in the group stage and I think they are one of the strongest teams at the moment in Europe although some would agree with Liverpool.

Based on the standing I just think that the top 4 team ^{[beside Munchen]} at the moment still have a chance to lead the table considering the point gap isn't that big, Dortmund might be able to do it but that doesn't mean other team won't get that chance.

This tournament will be an interesting one because all the remaining team are strong team that is hard to predict who will win this match. This match will not end up in draw like the way other team ended their match draw that is making some gamblers to think today match will be drawn. Today match will not be drawn because the two teams are well prepared for this match.

There are two 6-point games this weekend. Hamburger SV against Schalke and Regensburg against Darmstadt.
Hamburg plays at home and therefore has a small advantage.
For Darmstadt, a win is very important to continue defending 2nd place. But they play not at home.

this is a duel club with a top position table and who loses then they must be prepared to give up in pursuit of points.
hamburger points with schalke both have 29 points and whoever wins in this match will push to 3rd position.
As for Damstardt this is the most risky thing. inevitably they have to make a win for them, in addition to narrowing the margins with St. Pauli, It is also useful to keep the distance with hamburg or schalke

Regensburg vs. Darmstadt, that will be a hard game for Darmstadt. Regensburg is in good form and they won the first game 2:0. For Darmstadt, Klaus Gjasula is suspended, Luca Pfeiffer and Mathias Honsak is injured. I think Regensburg will have an advantage, but I hope for a win by Darmstadt.

Oops. What a surprise. The autumn champion lost against Kiel on the first matchday of the second half of the season. In the end it was 3:0 for Kiel.
For Darmstadt it will be even more motivating to win against Regensburg on Sunday. Then they would be only 1 point behind St. Pauli.

Kiel destroyed St.Pauli i think no body expected such a big win for Kiel or even for them to win in this match. Im even shocked that St.Pauli couldnt score at least one goal in this match against Kiel,they were just terrible in this match and need to forget it as fast as possible.

as you said Darmstadt will be a little underdog, but Regensburg are now playing at home and their home is haunted enough for other teams to stop by.
I feel this will be a match that is worth watching and this week will be a good one because some big matches are going to happen in this Bundesliga 2.
