the hamburger sv is already a mystery : they win against düsseldorf,schalke 04 and hertha bsc berlin . and against the three promoted teams they get a ridiculous point .
before the season almost every hsv fan expected 9 points . but only one point.... that is really much too little .
and the media report today that schalke 04 has found a new coach. Karel Geraerts from Belgium is to coach the schalke team in future. i have never heard this name before. 

This is a never ending story for this club that used to be so big in the Bundesliga. Hamburger SV usually had their problems later during the season, but now they are already experiencing struggles and could not win 3 out of the last 5 games. They could at least be 5 points ahead of the rest by now, but I anticipate they will be in the same position this year as they have been in the last 5 seasons or so? I don't remember exactly, but the club has so much potential that I thought it would not take them too long to get back into the Bundesliga.

the hamburger sv and the promoted teams . it's been a very bad story so far this season . lost twice and zero points .
if the hamburger team should lose in wiesbaden this time as well then you could possibly really speculate about the coaching staff if they are doing everything right .
however, i think that the hsv will win this game. one more defeat and the big embarrassment would be perfect .
then no hsv fan would dare to go to hamburger city anymore 

Kaiserlautern against Hannover will certainly be an exciting match. Both teams have shown a good performance in the last games and both want the 3 points.
The match on Saturday between Wehen Wiesbaden and Hamburger SV will be interesting. Hamburg must finally show that they can also win against the "little ones". So far they have shown the opposite.

today the 9th matchday in the 2. bundesliga starts with the following two games.
three teams fortuna düsseldorf (at home vs osnabrück) and hannover 96 (away at kaiserslautern) can jump to first place in the table with a win today. the red devils from lautern can also take over the lead in the table with a home win today

At Sunday the two former teams from Bundesliga 1 will play against each other. Both have had quite a bad start. Hertha Berlin has continued to develop and is on the right track. Schalke, however, is pure chaos. So far they have not presented a new coach and so Matthias Kreutzer will probably continue as coach. Hertha showed a good game against St. Pauli and I expect them to win this game.

The opportunities created show how these two clubs do not want to beat each other even though St. Pauli's chances are far superior but Hertha's chances are also some pretty good and actually on target they differ slightly.
Neither team seemed to hold back and I liked what they did. Hertha know if they do a defensive scheme in the end this will also harm themselves so Hertha try to play following the fast rhythm that St Pauli does even though the results are not too good for them but I quite salute their intentions that try to keep up with the game that St Pauli does.

Hertha Berlin vs. St. Pauli match was breathtaking. Both teams gave each other little and it was a lot of back and forth. St. Pauli should have scored many more goals. They had so many chances, but somehow they did not manage it. The goal from Hertha Berlin made it a bit exciting at the end. But St. Pauli deserved to win the game and is at place 1 in the table.

Well, there is a reason why they were relegated: Because they played badly. In addition, many players have also left due to the relegation and a new team usually has to be formed.
The team and the management have to realise that they have been relegated and then they have to show 100% performance to get promoted again. Many do not manage that.
Bundesliga 2 is quite strong and many teams often bounce between Bundesliga 1 and 2.

next weekend there will be a really exciting match in the 2.bundesliga : schalke 04 against hertha bsc berlin . the veltins arena will be sold out .
both teams have to win this important match . I can well imagine that there will be a lot of goals in this match on sunday
afternoon because both teams will certainly act very nervously and create good chances to score.
and the hamburger sv has to play against the third promoted team :wehen wiesbaden is the name of the hsv's opponent.
will the hsv disgrace itself again at the weekend? that will be three exciting matchdays.

looking at the table and looking at the positions of the teams that were in the bundesliga last season, it is strange to see that they are not even close to the top, it seems that since they were relegated to the second division, these teams have died, shalke in the last Bundesliga games before being relegated were playing very well that it seemed that if they were relegated they could return to the Bundesliga easily, at least that was my opinion, and today seeing their performance, I'm honestly shocked, I'm wondering what year They returned to the Bundesliga, they probably won't return to the Bundesliga anytime soon. another team that was also in the bundesliga last season and is doing poorly in this second division and Hertha Berlin who was playing well in the bundesliga in the last few games

I thought that when they were relegated they could easily return to the Bundesliga, but seeing their performance, it makes me think that they probably won't return to the Bundesliga in 3 seasons, they're not even in the top 10, they can't reach it, and something very shocking, if memory serves me correctly the third team that was in the bundesliga last season was greuther furth who are also doing very badly in this division, they also can't even get into the top 10 of the table. This makes me think that teams that are relegated to the second division don't just lose their place in the Bundesliga, they perhaps lose a large part of their squad and are unlikely to be able to return to the Bundesliga.

last season hamburg were very close to promotion, in fact I expected them to be promoted, but they were unlucky, I hope that this season they finally manage to get promoted, so they shouldn't make the same mistakes as last season, and It's important to win every game you have and not waste points, a mistake can be costly. Therefore, they must avoid making mistakes

Paderborn : Schalke 04  3:1
Hamburger SV : Düsseldorf  1:0

hamburger sv deservedly won the match against fortuna düsseldorf 1:0 today and is back on top of the 2.bundesliga.
in gelsenkirchen the catastrophe continues. even after the dismissal of the coach there was no point in paderborn.
paderborn won 3:1 against schalke 04 and therefore schalke remains on place 16 in the 2.bundesliga.

That was definitely an understandable decision. Schalke wanted to try it with Reis in the second Bundesliga. But since there were no good results and Schalke is currently not playing like a team that wants to get promoted, he was sacked. I am surprised that Schalke has not introduced a new coach yet. Surely they have been discussing pre-contracts with potential candidates in the background at the last few days.

oha . that went really fast now . the media is already writing something about felix magath . if felix magath becomes coach schalke 04 can
register its team for the next boston marathon . now i'm really curious when schalke 04 will present the new coach . and who will be the new coach .
and..... schalke has fired nine coaches since 2020 . i think hamburg has now lost the record to schalke 04 . but schalke fans will certainly not be happy about this title .

i think we can all look forward to friday evening.

relegated schalke 04, which got off to a very poor start to the season, has part ways with its coach Thomas Reis.
the club occupies the 16th place in the table after 7 matchdays with 7 points (2 wins, 1 draw, 4 defeats). as long as no new successor is found, the current TR assistant Matthias Kreutzer will take over the team

The season is still long and it is still too early to say that Hamburger SV will not be promoted. But the teams performance was really bad. I think that was the fifth game that Hamburger SV did not win against Osnabrück. I guess Osnabrück likes to play against Hamburger SV. 

The next game for Hamburger SV is against Düsseldorf. Place 1 vs. place 3. This match they will play at home in Hamburg. Therefore they have to win it. Otherwise there will be a lot of disappointed faces.

a result is still missing:
kaiserslautern wins against rostock with 3:1 and is now already on place 4.

next weekend it will be another exciting matchday. schalke 04 has to go to paderborn. if schalke doesn't get any points there on friday evening, the schalke coach thoams reis will probably be fired. but also the hamburger sv has to watch out on the next matchday. the hamburger team's opponent is fortune düsseldorf . that won't be an easy game for the hamburger team. and if the hsv should lose again, it will be very tight for coach tim walter in hamburg as well. 3 games without points is also in hamburg much too little. but on friday evening at 8:30pm we know more. then these two matches are over and we know the results.

hannover 96 could not take advantage of hamburg's slip-up to finish in first place in the table at the end of matchday #7, ending their away game at current league leaders fortuna düsseldorf with 1-1. hertha made by the 3-2 away win in kiel a giant boost in the table (now on the 9th place), best promoted is currently sv elversberg with 10 points and the 8th place and on schalke it is now again restless - whether the coach T. Reis continues to have full confidence, is more than questionable...

yes. and again the top favourite has disgraced itself. the hamburger sv lost today in osnabrück with 1:2. a very weak performance from the hamburger team .
the second defeat in a row against a promoted team. so there will be no promotion to celebrate this season.
but the hamburger team must bring a few percent more performance. otherwise it may be enough for fourth place again.
in the other game there was a 1-1 draw between magdeburg and paderborn .

edit: St.Pauli : Schalke 04   3:1

There are two games tonight. Magdeburg vs. Paderborn and Osnabrück vs. Hamburger SV.
Magdeburg has surprisingly made a very good start. But they also surprisingly lost their last game against Schalke. But they have to win this game again, otherwise they will end up in the midfield in the table.
In the second game, both teams lost their last game. Osnabrück lost even more games, because they have only 1 point in the table so far. But since Hamburg lost their last game against Elversberg, they have to be much more concentrated in this game.
