oha. only 5 coaches sacked . i thought there were more . i almost feared that tim walter would stay on as hsv coach . but will he stay until the end of the season ?
i think if there are 2 or 3 more stupid defeats at the beginning of the year he can look for a new club. and the sports director will have to look for a new job too.
and if the hsv don't get promoted this year ..... when will they play in the first bundesliga again ? 2028 or later ?

No, there have only been 5 so far. Schalke, Braunschweig, Osnabrück, Kaiserslautern and Rostock.

But who does not sack their coach this year is Hamburger SV. There have been several reports in the last few days and no clear statement from the sporting director as to whether Walter will continue as coach. But now a decision has been made and they want to continue with him. A change would probably not have been understood by anyone.

Selimbegovic is already the fourth coach during 14 months in Rostock.

A few more coaches will be sacked this season, of course. Especially a few match days before the end of the season, still grabing for the last straw. Even if the problems lies elsewhere. But a coach is replaced more quickly than half of the players or even the management of the board.

how many coaches have been sacked in the 2nd bundesliga this season ? that must be 6 or 7 coaches already ! arminia bielefeld holds the record though .
bielefeld has sacked its coach 50 times since 1981 . that's crazy. i would have thought that hsv would hold this record .
but there are apparently even worse employers in professional football.
but i doubt whether Selimbegovic will be the last coach to be sacked this season. one or 2 coaches will have to look for a new club for sure

Hansa Rostock has a new coach. Mersad Selimbegovic is the new coach since 18 December and his task is to prevent relegation. His contract runs until summer 2025. Selimbegovic was previously coach at Regensburg for three years. He was sacked there last season after Regensburg lost against Rostock. He now has time until 20 January to form a team that does not want to be relegated.

And then it happened after all. St. Pauli did not manage to go into the winter break at first place. Only 1:1 against Wiesbaden. They tried to score a second goal until the 84th minute. But then they conceded a goal and after that they ran out of steam.
So congratulations to Kiel to their autumn championship. They showed in the game against Hannover that they deserved to win.

your tip was good. but unfortunately wrong.    schalke 04 played 2:2 against greuther fürth . has schalke now won a point or lost 2 points ?
but hamburger sv can also win away from home again. the team won 2:0 in nuremberg. Robert Glatzel and Jean-Luc-Dompé scored for hamburg .
now coach walter may continue to coach the team until the summer . kiel also played very well and won 3:0 against hannover 96 . i personally didn't expect this high result.
sp. pauli only plays against wehen wiesbaden today and will normally get 3 points. conclusion: it remains damn exciting in the 2.bundesliga.

Of course, because Holstein Kiel first entered Bundesliga 2 in the 2017/18 season and in their first season they were able to immediately reach 3rd place, then in the following seasons until last season they were only middle-ranked team.
But this season there has been very rapid progress shown by Holstein Kiel, last season they finished Bundesliga 2 in 8th place and now have the opportunity to occupy first place.
This development is almost the same as their first season 2017/18 and it is possible that this season Holstein Kiel can outperform St. Pauli and came out as champions so they could enter the Bundesliga to compete with big team in the main competition.
Nothing is impossible as long as Holstein Kiel is able to continue making changes and can slowly have stable performance in improving the quality of the game for the better in the future.
Even though they are only about to enter the middle of the season at the moment, at least they have managed to get ahead of the team that always dominates Bundesliga 2 like Hamburger, and they can also keep up with St. Pauli.
This season has really been great opportunity for Holstein Kiel.

Schalke vs. Fürth:
Schalke are slowly finding their way back to good form and have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 games. They even have not conceded a goal in the last two games. That iy a good improvement from the defence.
Fürth have won 4 of their last 5 games and only drew the last one. They work very focussed and also manage to bring a 1:0 over the time.
My bet is 0:1

today starts the 17th matchday of the 2.bundesliga . will greuther fürth not lose the 7th match in a row ? can fürth also get a point in gelsenkirchen ?
or even take 3 points ? in the other match paderborn meets rostock. i think 3 points should stay in paderborn. both matches start today at 6:30 pm .
here the complete matchday from friday to sunday

That is a good analysis which you have made. Another advantage for Holstein Kiel is that nobody expected them so far. They have slowly crawled up the table and now they even have the chance to go into the winter break at place 1. Even if they will not finish on place 1 they have nothing to lose. But St Pauli on the other hand, have a lot more pressure. They could lose first place in the last moment.

Now the changes are so obvious and Holstein Kiel are climbing so fast in points that they are level with St. Pauli is in first place with 32 points.
Holstein Kiel advantage is that they were able to get 10 wins and even though there were 4 defeats, they only drew 2 times, in contrast to St. Pauli is unbeaten but has 8 draws.
Now there is big possibility for St. Pauli has much more dangerous competitors and of course one mistake was made by St. Pauli could knock them out of first place.
In the 17th match, they will play next Sunday and both of them have opponents who are not that strong so the competition in beating each other on points will look fiercer, of course they can still have the same results.

Hamburger themselves still have to compete to strengthen their position in the top 3 and it looks like they will only be able to do it like last season, which ended in the top 3.

In the future, will St. Pauli it is also not certain whether will be promoted to the Bundesliga as long as Holstein Kiel are still below them with the same points.

Yes, that was really disappointing. Hamburger SV had not lost a game at home until that match. But every series comes to an end. They really did not play well in that game. And the red card for Hamburg was absolutely nonsensical.
The points difference once again shows that most of the teams in Bundesliga 2 play at the same level. Just like last year, it shows how strong Bundesliga 2 is. Even stronger this year. Because the gap between place 3 and 10 place were 13 points last year at the same matchday.

What's worse is that it was a game in the Volksparkstadion, meaning they have one game less at home to get important three points and they were one player more for roughly 8 minutes to then waste that advantage by receiving a red card themselves. Hamburg is not just playing bad, but they are also playing dumb. Now we have again this weird situation in the 2. Bundesliga that Nürnberg ranked 10. is only 4 points away from Hamburg ranked 3.

As Alois Schwartz took over Hansa Rostock had lost 2:5 to Düsseldorf at matchday 25 at home, were place 17 in the table and had 25 points. Alois Schwartz was introduced shortly afterwards. However it took until matchday 29 for the first win. After that they had won all games but one game draw.
I am surprised they sacked him just before the winter break. There is only one game left until then.

as it became official today, Alois Schwartz has been sacked from hansa rostock. after just one win from the last eight league games and the club slipping down to the relegation places, the club was forced to take this step.
AS had only taken over hansa as Patrick Glöckner's successor in march of this year and had secured the club's place in the 2nd bundesliga with 41 points.

The defeatfrom Hamburger SV against Paderborn resulted that they are no longer at place 2 which is now occupied from Kiel and Kiel has equal points like St. Pauli. This means next weekend will decide who will go into the winter break at place 1.

Osnabrück fought with passion and the team has new hope of not being relegated at the end of the season. But there is still still a long way to go.

It was clear weather but sure even though it looked a little Shady outside the weather is great but what I see the issue was the Hamburg SV was having problems with Paderborn's Goalkeeper and the defense of Paderborn is something they will have 3 or 2 defensive players ready to defend and their Goal Keeper Pelle Boevink was really amazing, getting many saves on this game and Hamberger SV's defense is really critical now after that red card on Miro Muheim, but for sure Filip Bilbija also got the red card but for sure the defense of Hamburger SV needs to be fixed after this fight for sure there is a lot of holes within that defense of them,

---

VfL Osnabruck VS FC St. Pauli - VfL Osnabruck had a great defense against FC St. Pauli it was a draw game and I never expected the number 1 position team will have a hard time against the team below even though St. Pauli made a great performance the Osnabruck did a great job with their defense, and I was surprised that St. Pauli can not do something about it,

Dusseldorf VS Holstein Kiel - In this game, Holstein Kiel made a great win against Dusseldorf and now had 10 wins while the leader team FC St. Pauli has only 8, but Holstein Kiel still didn't manage to make it to the number 1 spot, well this is because both teams have 32 points Holstein have 4 losses while FC St. Pauli doesn't have any losses, but in this game even though Holstein Kiel just got 1 goal they didn't let the Dusseldorf made any goal so it was a win for them,

what was going on in hamburg today ? was there thick fog or why didn't hamburg score more goals . hamburger sv lost their first match
of the season at home with 1:2 against paderborn . now i'm curious if the coach of hamburger sv is still coach at hsv after the winter break .
and greuther fürth can't lose anymore . 15 points from 5 games is damn good. hertha bsc is also winning again.
they will still be promoted if the team continues like this . tonight the match osnabrück against st. pauli. st. pauli is the favourite and should win.

Well, last time I checked the 2nd Division was starting and now, we are now in Matchday 16, I was surprised by this game between Wehen Wiesbaden and Eintracht Braunschweig,



What was amusing about this game was that Eintracht Braunschweig managed to defeat Wehen Wiesbaden, which is for sure Eintracht Braunschweig should be the one losing this game, for Wehen Wiesbaden game stat is doing great until Eintracht Braunschweig destroy them by having a lot of points than they have, for sure Fabio Kaufmann did a great job in getting this a win for the Eintracht Braunschweig, and I never have expected them to win and against Wehen of all team, for sure that was crazy but that was just it, any team can surely defeat the other this is the 2nd division for sure,

But right now we still have 3 games for today and sure I want to see the results for these games,

Furth VS FC Magdeburg

FCK VS Hertha

Hamburger SV VS Paderborn

these 3 games will be later for sure we will be waiting a long wait for these games to start, but what are your predictions for this games,
