Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[W Jr.]

What a turnaround by Schalke after losing 0-2 to win 3-2 just insane things happening in the finish of bundesliga 2.

I thought Schalke might struggle to get back up in a hurry like Hamburg has after relegation, but they've done it with a revamped squad. Hamburg is most likely to join them after 4 years in the 2nd tier.So happy for Schalke. Such a wholesome, emotionally moving story.
So happy to see Schalke return. I sincerely hope Terodde gets a chance to prove himself in the Bundesliga.

The championship race between Werder Bremen and Schalke moved to the last week. The 2-point difference between them helps Schalke, who is ahead. At the moment, Schalke 04 will most likely be champions and they will return to the Bundesliga. One of the teams I want to see in the Bundesliga is Schalke and the other is Werder Bremen. I will be very happy for them promoting to the Bundesliga.

The last games are:
Schalke vs Nürnberg - now with no significance anymore (well, maybe just for the fame to be 1st for Schalke  )
Regensburg vs Bremen - Bremen needs 1 more point to be safely on the 2nd rank. And they have to get this 1 point, otherwise they will sink to the 3rd or even 4th rank due to their worse goal difference. Regensburg is on rank 13, I think Bremen will win this.
Rostock vs Hamburg - Rostock is 12th and not the best team playing at home. Hamburg seems in a good shape after the last weeks, I think they can actually win this.
Darmstadt vs Paderborn - Darmstadt just lost and is now running behind Bremen and Hamburg. If Hamburg wins and Bremen gets 1 point, there is nothing Darmstadt can do anymore. They can hope for one of them to mess up, but then they still need to beat Paderborn, who is not an easy opponent.
Düsseldorf vs St.Pauli - another game which suddenly has no importance anymore. St.Pauli's goal difference is too low to overtake Hamburg or Darmstadt.

It is a pity for St.Pauli, I remember at the half time of the season when they were like 5 points ahead and everybody was so convinced they can make it. They put up a good fight, but they just didn't get enough points in the last months.

St Pauli casually lost their way at the ending part of the season and that has certainly cost them big time.

I also think that Bremen is surely going to look for a win in the next match because they will look for the security of being in second place. And their opponent is also not too strong so I believe they will be able to win. a

Hamburger should also win their next match.

Darmstadt versus Paderborn is going to be an interesting one because it is going to be e a fight for pride in my opinion for both teams. But Darmstadt steel should look to win this match and hope for the best.

[cygan]

due to today's away win of werder bremen, bremen needs at least 1 point at home against regensburg on the last match to advance to the bundesliga.
the best chance for the third place has hamburger sv who will play in a week in rostock and has the better goal difference of the other clubs. but we have seen the last few weeks, everything is still possible and no club (except schalke 04) can still be sure.

At the moment, Schalke 04 will most likely be champions and they will return to the Bundesliga. One of the teams I want to see in the Bundesliga is Schalke and the other is Werder Bremen. I will be very happy for them promoting to the Bundesliga.

This goes to show that Werder Bremen is a team that always lingers even though their opponents keep getting them back down, from the bottom position they have elevated to the 2nd position and they only need to win the Jahn Regensburg match to secure their position to the 2nd spot, and Schalke will win over Nurnberg and they will elevated to the 1st Bundesliga division, and back again for more 1st division matches, I think they need to up their performance on the 1st division if they don't want to get back down to the 2nd Division again because the level of competition in the 1st division is surely different.

St Pauli casually lost their way at the ending part of the season and that has certainly cost them big time.

I also think that Bremen is surely going to look for a win in the next match because they will look for the security of being in second place. And their opponent is also not too strong so I believe they will be able to win. a

St. Pauli was really good in the early days of the season, but Schalke and Werder prove that they can be tough in the late days of the season and can really up their game so much that they will elevate in the 2nd division quickly but that kind of performance I really think they can not do it in the 1st division without a striker that can keep up to the levels of Lewandowski, and Haaland, I wish they can see something like that in the next season,

Hamburger SV is an established team, that can win as well, and against Hannover 96 that could be a possibility,

and yes that match will be a close one Paderborn is a likely team that you can not underestimate, and Darmstadt is also that kind of team, but their drive-in taking the championship is just not much when compared to Schalke and Werder Bremen.

St pauli started the season really well and I actually thought that they might end in the first place at one stage. but that obviously did not happen because they lost their way at the middle of the season.

Hamburger is playing really well right now and they are in a good form. I think they deserve to be where they are right now. They should also win the last match that they have left.

The match between Darmstadt and  Paderborn is also going to be a tough one to predict because both of the teams are really close to each other and towards the top of the table.

[Slow death]

due to today's away win of werder bremen, bremen needs at least 1 point at home against regensburg on the last match to advance to the bundesliga.

Werder Bremen's chances of losing in this game are very low, bookmakers are giving odds of @1.25 in case Werder Bremen wins this game, knowing that Jahn Regensburg has nothing to lose anymore, so they will simply play to fulfill the schedule, and a good chance for Werder Bremen to take advantage and easily win the game

the best chance for the third place has hamburger sv who will play in a week in rostock and has the better goal difference of the other clubs.

this third place is still very complicated to decide who will occupy in the end, for me Hamburger SV
will win against Hansa Rostock, Hansa Rostock does not have a good defense and they have nothing to fight, they will play to fulfill the schedule

Congratulations to Schalke. They did it and were promoted again immediately after their relegation.
Werder Bremen also seem to have every chance of being promoted again. But they had difficulties against Aue in the first half. Maybe Bremen didn't think that Aue would play so well or Bremen was too nervous in their head.

Shalke team had a good season especially in the second half although they lost to werder bremen 4 1 they deserved to be promoted ,werder bremen team is not in the top form but they have a relatively easy game, they just have to focus they only need one point to directly get promoted.

i have to congratulate schalke 04 who have managed to get promoted back to the bundesliga (league 1). they fought hard to be able to continue to be in first place because bremen continued to follow behind with only a difference of 2 points. next week schalke will play nurnberg while bremen will play regensburg, this is the decisive match.

The most important and right step was the dismissal of Dimitrios Grammozis after Schalke lost 3:4 against Rostock. After Mike Büskens was the new coach on matchday 26, Schalke only lost one game. That was 1:4 against Bremen. Sometimes it does not work to change coaches just before the end of the season. But this time it was worth its weight in gold.

at schalke there is a euro fighter coach and not a tactician. the team fights almost as well as in 1997.
but we'll see if it's enough for the first bundesliga. in the first bundesliga it's going to be damn hard for schalke 04.
but they'll definitely get two or three good new players...... will terodde stay at schalke or will he move back to the 2 -league ?

not only the change of coach at schalke was the deciding factor for the club's direct promotion back to the 1. bundesliga. the change in bremen Anfang/Werner also brought about a different and positive attitude among the players and werder bremen was able to perform very well over a long period of time and are already almost certain to be the second promoted team.

That is right. How could I forget your Bremen team.... 
At the moment it looks like Werder Bremen will defend the second place and will also be promoted directly. Ole Werner have started at matchday 16 and from place 10. At matchday 20, Bremen was already at place 3 and have since fluctuated between place 1 and 3.
It has to be said, however, that Markus Anfang was not sacked, but resigned.

In my opinion, Schalke did play well to win that match but they also missed a lot of chances in that match and made some big and fatal mistakes. Really big mistakes were made by the defense and the goalkeeper gave the opponent a good chance of scoring. Also, Schalke missed some really easy chances to score. otherwise, the score would have been much different.

I think Werder Bremen had a very easy match and everybody did expect them to win because they did play that match against a team at the bottom of the table and it would have been a surprise if they even drew that match.
 
And yes Markus Anfang did resign,  he was not fired.

The Bundesliga teams are very strong. The performance of the second Bundesliga teams is not regular. If Schalke wants to play well in the first Bundesliga then they need to improve their performance. They have to improve their defense. At the same time the team must have at least one experienced striker. Otherwise, Schalke will not be able to survive in the Bundesliga

Schalke and Bremen just got relegated last year from the Bundesliga. I think both have enough people in their team with Bunsesliga experience who will enable them surviving the Bundesliga season next year. Of course they will need some new players, but they will also have much more possibilities financially in the Bundesliga.

All games from the last play day will be in parallel on Sunday. I am looking forward to the Hamburg and Darmstadt games (pretty much everything else is decided anyway).

You are talking about the last game against St. Pauli?  There were almost a sensation and St. Pauli would have won. Schalke came back with the penalty goal. If St. Pauli had won, the last matchday would have been even more exciting.
But St. Pauli played a great season. Unfortunately, the second half of the season was not good enough from them.

yes. this time, fc.st.pauli was hit by the evil april. otherwise, hsv always had to give up many points in april.
but today the hsv has bad news for its fans again.
Anssi Suhonen suffered a serious injury in training yesterday and will miss the last game and the possible relegation matches.
This is of course a great pity, as Annsi has been in very good form lately.
FYI > > Annsi's leg was successfully operated on today!

I dont know if the experience from the players of Schalke and Bremen will get them survived in the first german league.
Just look at Stuttgart and i guess i have nothing to say about Greuther Fürth , its diffrent when you are in the first league.
Also the financially will be a bit more expensive as in the second league , there is so much more going on in the background with costs and stuff.

Yes, I was talking about that match. And yes I agree that if st. Pauli did win that match it would have been a lot more exciting to see the next matches, But now I don't think they have any chance. It does feel a little sad to see st. Pauli losing their way like this in the later part of the season. But, I am actually really happy that I am going to see a promotion for Schalke.

HSV will be facing Hansa. This is certainly not a hard opponent for them in my opinion but missing Anssi Suhonen is surely going to hurt them in this match. If not for the injury they could have gone with the full power in the last match but that is certainly not possible right now.

Anyway, I am glad that this was not a very serious injury and I hope he will be able to give his 100% very soon.
