Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[bct_ail]

It was a beautiful weekend. Not only from the weather, but also from the games. Schalke showed their ambitions why they want to get promoted. It was really a top game and even the first half was fun. Terodde and Tietz already showed that they can score goals. Schalke made everything clear in the second half at the beginning. But Darmstadt did not give up but unfortunately did not score any more goals.

[bct_ail]

The top four teams will play each other at Saturday. Schalke against Werder Bremen and St. Pauli against Darmstadt. So these teams will take the points away from each other. For the next two teams Nürnberg and Hamburger SV is it a chance to get closer if they manage to win. Hamburger SV must win at all costs after the defeat against Freiburg in the DFB Cup. If they lose they will be at least 6 points behind place 3.

This League is really interesting in my opinion and a lot more interesting than Bundesliga. Obviously, because the points difference is so low and we have some teams that are doing quite well which did not show good performance in previous seasons.

Schalke Is playing really well this season and in the perfect form right now because they did not lose even one match in the last five and that is quite interesting to see even from a neutral perspective.

It will also hurt the eyes for many people that Schalke is at all active in this competition. It used to be the second best of Germany, and have even played in the Champions League. It is a pity that things have gone terribly wrong with this club. You would actually expect that a name like Schalke would have to be active again at the highest level, but nowadays that offers no guarantees. In the event of relegation, many players have undoubtedly walked away. Gazprom has also been disbanded as a sponsor, which has also been a blow.

Here the current odds for "Which team will relegate into the Bundesliga?"

Schalke 1.1
Bremen 1.2
St. Pauli 2.1
Darmstadt 2.9
Hamburg 9.0
Nürnberg 12.0

I am a bit surprised how clear those odds are now for Schalke and Bremen. Of course they are on top right now, but we have seen in the past that 1 or 2 bad games can turn the whole situation from bottom to top.

Much will depend on the St.Pauli games on how the situation at the top will be resolved. We'll see St.Pauli vs Darmstadt this week, then after they'll play Nürnberg and Schalke. For St.Pauli to have a serious chance they'll need to win at least 2 of those 3 games.

Darmstadt has 3 "easy" last games, but a loss against St.Pauli this week could ruin it for them beyond repair, so it's kind of an endgame for them already.

Hamburg... I don't see them coming out in the top 3. Even when winning all remaining games, they would depend that the competition plays draws and loses points that way.

Nürnberg only has a chance when winning all 4 remaining games, including the St.Pauli and Schalke one.

The goal from Schalke was clearly defined from the start on: Promotion. After some difficulties at the beginning and the important change of their coach they have come closer and closer to their goal. Looking at the performance of the last games, it seems that they will reach their goal.

@bct_ail just a while ago it was looking like a bad season for Schalke, and I remember discussing here about their potential, but to be honest I had given up on them so it’s really surprising to see how well they have performed in the last few games. Lastly I feel that Schalke should be able to maintain their position, and it’s also pertinent to note that they have a better goal difference in comparison to the top 5 teams, and that shall give them a psychological advantage in their race to end up in the top spot.

tonight the first decision in the 2. bundesliga can fall and namely ingolstadt with a defeat in karlsruhe as the first relegated club, even if dynamo dresden in düsseldorf should also lose, it would then mathematically no longer possible for fc ingolstadt

[CryptoBuds]

I never imagined that teams like Pauli and Regensburg would collapse so much. Regensburg is now ninth on the table and Pauli is third. Schalke's performance at the start of the season was very poor. But now they are at the top of the table. And they have won the last 7 matches. However, Werder Bremen's performance is somewhat irregular. So Pauli and Darmstadt have ample opportunity to continue fighting for second place at the table.

[Soonandwaite]

so. the 31st matchday starts tonight . if ingolstadt loses today in karlsruhe then ingolstadt is definitely relegated to the third bundesliga .
but that would no longer be a big surprise !
and tomorrow there will be two top games again ! schalke 04 against werder bremen and st.pauli against darmstadt .
i think tomorrow wins schalke and st.pauli .
and on sunday nürnberg will definitely win against sandhausen. that will be 3 super exciting matchdays until the end of the season.

[onetwostep]

Werder Bremen have lost a lot of points in the last weeks. St. Pauli is in the same situation, which is why they fell behind at the table.
On the other hand, Schalke plays great and wins almost every game, actually they weren't very good in the standings, but they haven't lost a game in the last month. Thanks to this, they began to become leaders.
I think they will not lose points in the next matches

Werder Bremen and St.Pauli dropped some really important points in last 3-4 rounds and with this they are making their situation much worst. But Werder Bremen is in a much better position then St.Pauli on league table but that can change in this round aswell.

[cygan]

the first decision has already been made last night and the first relegated club with fc ingolstadt from the 2 bundesliga is now fixed. the 2-2 in karlsruhe was not enough for the club, because at the same time dynamo dresden also played 2-2 vs. düsseldorf.

[hahay]

In the end Schalke proved their quality and they look likely to make it back to the Bundesliga next season, it's nice to know this as they can come back quickly or just miss a season. Today Schalke will play against Werder Bremen which is a match for ranked one and two, I really hope Schalke can win the match to widen the gap. But in fact Schalke have a pretty good capital if they later have the same points, Schalke leads and the number of goals at least is a good capital to anticipate something bad ahead. But considering that there are only 4 matches remaining, I personally believe that Schalke will be able to maintain their top position until the end.

[MinoRaiola]

Schalke against Bremen today - both teams belong for me in the Bundesliga and i think there is an unofficial agreement today. Both want to lose no points and be as safe as possible in the last match days to not end up in 3rd place. The betting odds are okay for the results 1:1 is x7 and 2:2 at x11. Draw is at x3,6. So if I would bet, then i would bet on all 3 a small amount.

[cygan]

werder bremen declassifies schalke and wins deservedly away with 4-1.
so the winning streak of schalke 04 is broken and if st. pauli should win tonight it will be even more exciting in the top of the table and then there is only one point separating werder (1 place) and st. pauli (3 place)
hamburger sv also wins away 4-2 vs. regensburg and continues to preserve its small chance to perhaps still come to the third place

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for games tomorrow highlighted in green are my pick

FC St. Pauli VS Darmsradt

Stake odds for this game are 2.48 for St. Pauli and 3.70 for Draw while 2.60 for Darmstadt, right now Christopher Avevor, Jannes Wieckhoff, Sebastian Ohlsson, and Eric Smith, are injured and can not play for St. Pauli, while Guido Burgstaller, Jackson Irvine, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, and Eric Smith is at risk of getting suspended, and Fabian Schnellhardt is injured and can not play while Braydon Manu, is suspended, and Luca Pfeiffer is at risk of getting suspended, for this gamer because Guido Burgstaller is at risk and St. Pauli got a number of injuries I think Darmsradt will win this so my pick is Darmstadt.

Paderborn VS Hannover 96

Stake odds for this game are 2.34 for Paderborn and 3.50 for Draw while 2.90 for Hannover 96, right now Felix Platte can not play for Paderborn and has injury while Uwe Hünemeier, is suspended, and Dennis Srbeny is at risk of getting suspended, while Sebastian Ernst, can not play for Hannover 96 and Dominik Kaiser and Jannik Dehm is at risk of getting suspended, I really think this could be a win for Paderborn no further reason why but I really think Paderborn has an advantage,


Nuremberg VS SV Sandhausen

Stake odds for this game are 1.82 for Nuremberg and 3.75 for a draw while 4.10 for Sandhausen, right now Felix Lohkemper can not play for Nuremberg while Johannes Geis and Nikola Dovedan are at risk of getting suspended, while Immanuel Höhn, Nikolai Rehnen, Tim Kister, Rick Wulle, and Julius Biada can not play for Sandhausen because of injuries, while Bashkim Ajdini, Alexander Esswein, and Janik Bachmann is at risk of getting suspended, and because of Sandhausen many injuries my pick will be Nuremberg.

the result of this match was beyond expectation. Schalke lost 1-4 to Bremen, even though Schalke played at home but they played not as usual.
The battle between the two top teams, but unfortunately Schalke failed to take advantage of the opportunity at home to beat Wender Bremen.
Wender Bremen has now managed to become the top of the standings and is 1 point different from Schalke.

Schalke Is surely going to face some problems going ahead into the league because they are going to really suffer trying to get back the first position that they had.
I really don't think that they played much terribly but they certainly played badly in that match and obviously the defense did look really shaky. 

I have to say Werder Bremen played really well and took their chances well. it was really hard to imagine them greeting than opponent when Schalke had a really perfect form in the last 5 matches.

If st Pauli  Does win tonight it will be really interesting. even though Schalke will still be in the second place in the league standings will have the same points as st Pauli.  there will only be at in terms of goal difference. It is going to be really interesting to see which teams are going to finish at the top of the table.
