Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Soonandwaite]

My lord, it is always intense to see that Hamburg somehow manages to mess things up. I guess this will always be the same for the next two decades to come for them!

I am not sure that this is even funny anymore, but the will once more manage to finish a season as 4th. My god... What the heck is wrong with them. Huge city, tons of money and yet they can't manage to get promoted again. Looking forward to a whole decade of 2. Bundesliga HSV.

i think that the sporting director jonas boldt will have to leave hamburger sv at the end of the season. i can't see this arrogant guy anymore. even if there are still 12 points !
the hsv will finish this season in fifth place. i can't imagine that the hsv will get 9 or 12 more points.
but if 1.fc köln gets relegated, it will be a top 2.bundesliga again next season with many great stadiums.

but i am happy that two north german clubs are promoted to the 1st bundesliga. and..... the first club from schleswig holstein in the 1st bundesliga > > holstein kiel

Kiel deserves to go up as they developed into the most consistent team at the right time. Pauli has shown some weakness, but will probably get away with it and Hamburg, well I think there is not much left to say about them. It's incredible... But they still have the game against Pauli at home, which might be a derby where there is still something on the line for them. But the only chance I see for them to still be promoted is to win the remaining 4 games. First stop will be at Braunschweig and if they don't win that one, I think it is over for them. Düsseldorf has two relatively easy games at home, which I think they both will probably win and that makes it still a 5 points difference, which means Hamburg has to win it all.

But as you said, there are now other clubs from Northern Germany that are good to go. Pauli in the 1. Bundesliga is always fun.

Hamburger SV : Holstein Kiel  0:1

congratulations holstein kiel !! i think we can congratulate kiel on promotion to the first bundesliga .kiel is now 6 points ahead of düsseldorf and i think kiel will get at least
6 more points . that should be enough for 1st or 2nd place .and hamburg ? hamburg will probably play another year in the 2.bundesliga . and that fully deserved  

Hamburger SV have once again failed to gain promotion to Bundesliga 1. Because of their performance so far they will not be able to catch up with Düsseldorf. Now it will be exciting to see which of the top 3 will be at place 1 and which team will be at place 3 at the end of the season. I would grant St. Pauli being at place 1 again at the end of the season. Because they have played an outstanding season.

i think that the sporting director jonas boldt will have to leave hamburger sv at the end of the season.

Of course. The change of the coach from Walter to Baumgart was his last chance to keep his job. I do not know how long he has been with Hamburger SV? But he had many chances and his team never promote to Bundesliga 1.

the hamburger sv does not have any fast players in defence . often the opponents are much faster and this creates huge problems in the hsv defence.
and this is exactly the problem that the hamburger sv and jonas boldt cannot solve. i think at least 6-7 players are welcome to leave the club .
the hamburger sv needs new hungry guys. but where can you find such guys ? i am now curious to see how the hsv will react at the end of this season .
it will be an exciting few weeks

They signed him 2 months ago actually. 
I wasn't sure how many months exactly but I remembered it was only short he was sacked at Cologne.

This was doomed from the beginning. Because of the short time frame I doubt they will let him go if they can't accomplish the get to the first league. Of course with this joke of a team everything is possible but still I think he will stay. Anyway, nobody needs the HSV in the first league now that we most likely get another Hamburg based team with St.Pauli promoted soon hopefully.

I was referring to the sporting director Jonas Boldt.   He has been with Hamburger SV for a little longer than 2 months. I have now also had a look. He has been with Hamburger SV since 2019.

----------------------

At the bottom of the table it is probably 99% certain that Osnabrück will be relegated again. They have not managed to get away from the bottom the whole season. They have been at place 18 for a total of 22 matchdays and even the change of the coach at the end of November has only raised hopes for a few games.
So it will be exciting as everyone up to place 12 is in the danger zone.

Ah ok, my mistake. I read it wrong.

Yeah at the bottom Osnabrück is pretty much done. Only a miracle can safe them now.
It's sad to see that German cup finalist Kaiserslautern is also is a dire situation being 17th of 18. They are just 2 points behind the 15th position but seeing the way the play it's hard to imagine they will get a lot of points from the rest of their games.
They still face leading team Kiel and Hertha Berlin away while facing standings neighbours Magdeburg and Braunschweig at home.
It's gonna be a close race in the final 4 games.

I did not watch any game from Kaiserslautern. So I cannot say anything about their performance. Theey have slipped into the danger zone in the table from matchday 13 and then never got out of it.



The remaining programme for Kaiserslautern is really difficult. Especially the games against Magdeburg and Braunschweig. Braunschweig have performed better in recent weeks and Magdeburgs remaining programme is a bit easier than that of Kaiserslautern. The easiest game is probably against Hertha Berlin, because they can not longer achieve anything.

[bct_ail]

Some teams are in the danger zone. In my opinion, these are all teams from place 11 to place 17. Nürnberg with 37 points and Kaiserslautern with 30 points. In the remaining games all seven teams still have the opportunity to pick up 12 points. But the question is if all the teams will keep their coach? I can imagine that one or two clubs could still cahnge theier coaches to try to grasp at the last straw.

St. Pauli hast tonigt the chance to move closer to promotion with a win and climb back to place 1. In the last season in the game against Rostock at home there were incidents that nobody wants to see. Some visitors from Rostock destroyed the washbasins and toilets and threw the shredded pieces onto the players and the pitch. To prevent this from happening again, this time there are mobile toilets for the visitors from Rostock.

St.Pauli : Hansa Rostock 1:0 and
Hertha BSC Berlin : Hannover 96 1:1

i think with the 1:0 victory today against hansa rostock st.pauli is promoted to the 1st bundesliga . there are still 3 matchdays and 8 points to be awarded.
i bet st.pauli will still get the necessary points .
even if düsseldorf wins tomorrow in gelsenkirchen, st.pauli still has a 5-point lead over düsseldorf. that will be enough to secure promotion this season !

Düsseldorf only managed a draw, so St. Pauli has 7 points more than Düsseldorf. St. Pauli can make their promotion perfect at the next matchday. Then they will play against Hamburger SV. Hamburger SV has now also more chances to reach place 3. Place 3 is only 4 points away. I did not think it would be exciting again, because the performance from Hamburger SV has not been good in recent weeks.

Yeah Pauli is pretty much through, congrats to them. Nice to have them back in the Bundesliga. They are one of them teams that have a certain character, unspoiled by big investors or sponsors.
I was very surprised to see Kiel losing against Kaiserslautern but since I am routing for both teams and Kaiserlautern needs 3 points more than Kiel does it's an ok result for me. With this BIG win FCK made the ump out of the relegation zone. Now it's up to them to stay out as well.
Kiel should still be able to pull off the surprise and finally make it to the Bundesliga. If everything goes well for them it might already happen next weekend hopefully.

That was an important win for Kaiserlautern and they now have it in their own hands.
Schalke is still in the danger zone but managed at least a draw and are now 5 points away from place 16.
I am very surprised from Wehen Wiesebaden. They were actually pretty safe, but now they have to fight against relegation again. It is definitely very exciting again.

and that's why the club sacked head coach Markus Kauczinski yesterday. in doing so, wehen wiesbaden pulled out the last joker to avert relegation to the 3rd league after all.
staying in the 2nd bundesliga is the club's top priority - MK managed promotion to the 2. bundesliga with svww last season

Yes, grasping at the last straw. It is a final push to keep place 16 at least. But it will not be easy. They will play against Kiel, Braunschweig and St Pauli. The remaining programme from Kaiserslautern (place 15) is a little easier. And Kaiserslautern has shown a better performance than Wiesbaden in recent weeks with theier draws against Wiesbaden and their win against Kiel.

After being able to get promoted to bundesliga 2, initially Wehen Wiesebaden was able to perform quite well as a debutant team this season, but slowly their performance continued to deteriorate and had bounced back with several times managed to avoid consecutive defeats, but indeed the quality they currently have is still much lower than other teams in bundesliga 2,  With only 3 games left, of course it seems difficult for Wehen Wiesebaden to stay in Bundesliga 2 next season, especially the team they will face is a team that is quite strong later, compared to Wehen Wiesebaden, of course I am more sure if Hansa Rostock can stay in the Bundesliga next season even though they have to go through the relegation playoff route with League 3 teams later.

The change of coach at this time will certainly not make Wehen Wiesebaden experience an improvement and also a significant change in their performance to face the remaining 3 matches, in fact in my opinion with the change of coach will make the team even worse and also divided, because after all, accepting a new coaching method from a new coach is certainly not easy so far and requires a lot of time to understand the new strategy.

And what a lovely situation for St. Pauli! They could put the nail in the coffin for Hamburg this season while celebrating their promotion in the stadium of their fiercest opponent!

If anyone would have told me that Hamburg might end up playing in the 2. Bundesliga for a whole decade, I would have bet against it big time but now I think it is certainly not impossible that we will continue to see Hamburg mess things up over and over again for the next few years.

Düsseldorf is in a pretty complicated situation now that they lost two points against Schalke and are still playing against Kiel away from home. There is indeed some more drama guaranteed towards the end of the season. Now Kiel against Wehen and both desperately need to win, but either way Düsseldorf still has the chance to somewhat close the gap and keep it an open fight until the end. More exciting than the 1. Bundesliga I would say.

It sure is crunch time now. Would love to see Pauli celebrating in Hamburg's stadium, I bet they also couldn't imagine a better place than this, except their home stadium of course. 

Hopefully Kiel can close it out at well after their surprising defeat last weekend.
The team that beat them, Kaiserslautern, also has a HUGE must win game against Magdeburg. This is a must win if they want to have a chance to stay in the 2nd Bundesliga!!
Since most stuff in the 1st BL is decides it's must more interesting to follow then 2. BL at the moment I think.
