Very exciting matchday and a lot has happened at the top and bottom of the table. Karlsruhe has a run and they managed to beat St. Pauli. This gives St. Pauli only 2 points ahead from Kiel and Kiel will have even more motivation to reach place 1.
The battle for place 3 will continue between Düsseldorf and Hamburger SV at the next matchday. Hannover has not managed to get closer with a win.
Karlsruhe are making it exciting again, but a 7-point gap to place 3 is probably too much at the end.
Things are getting tighter again in terms of points at the bottom of the table. Osnabrück have won again at the second time, so it ssems they will fight until the end.
There are only 3 points between place 17 and 12. Bundesliga 2 is once again very exciting and it is not clear yet who will be relegated.

The teams at the bottom of the table are in desperate need of success.
Rostock will play against Wehen Wiesbaden tonight and Wiesbaden are also in the danger zone. Rostock on place 17 absolutely needs a win. Kaiserslautern, Braunschweig and Schalke will play against teams that are fighting for promotion. It seems that Kaiserslautern have the easiest opponent if I look at the performance of Hamburger SV.
These will probably all be games with a lot of fighting.

Well hopefully Kaiserslautern will take some of the motivation and and momentum from the cup semis win into this match today.
It would be really sad to see a team like this moving down in the 3rd devision again.
On the other hand, I appreciate every game that Hamburger SV is losing, never liked them. They play at home though, I guess it's gonna be a hard fight for FCK.
Seeming Schalke so far down in the rankings is a real pleasure (cause I am a BVB supporter
) . Would't it be fun seeing them playing against teams like Rot Weiss Essen, Erzgebirge Aue and Borussia Dortmund II next season? 
the 28th matchday kicked off yesterday with a home and away win.
rostock were able to collect 3 important points against relegation with a 3-1 home win against wiesbaden and thus put pressure on the other clubs (e.g. schalke 04) in this table region
hertha bsc berlin beat paderborn 3-2 away and temporarily climb to 6th place in the table with 41 points

Schalke is in grave danger. And I agree that it is very sad to see a team like this perform so badly. We always expect good performance from teams who have shown good performance in the past. But that is not the case for Schalke. I actually don't think they will get relegated from the second Bundesliga. But they are also not showing any signs of getting a promotion as well.
Schalke’s performance has been inconsistent and that has cost them to move towards the relegation zone, a team that has been performing well and have had Champions League appearances in the past years got relegated from the Bundesliga and are now struggling in the 2nd division Bundesliga which is actually sad to see them struggle. I don’t know what has happened to them but they need to step up their game if they want to escape relegation this season. Schalke is in grave danger.

They drew their last match and they now face Hannover who are ahead of them in their next game, it will be a difficult match for them but they need to give it their all since all points are important for them now. Most of their remaining fixtures for the season is against teams ahead of them on the table.
As expected where St. Pauli managed to win the match against Paderborn yesterday and of course this victory made St. Pauli remains comfortable at the top of the standings and they still have big chance of winning the title this season.
Meanwhile for Paderborn the chance of finishing in the top 3 is very small and absolutely impossible to achieve, Paderborn is currently in 8th place and to be able to reach the top 3 have to have at least 10 more points to be safe.
Paderborn might only have the chance to finish in 5th and 4th place if they are able to continue winning, but there are still several matches they have to miss against teams that are much stronger and of course this will make it difficult for them to get full points.
Currently Hamburger SV only has 1 point difference with Dusseldorf and allowing future shifts to occur more easily, I think Hamburger SV still has big chance of occupying the top 3 rankings.

St. Pauli has taken a big step towards Bundesliga 1. They are 11 points ahead of place 3 now and I cannot imagine they will lose more than 4 of the remaining games.
For Paderborn this was the last chance to stay within reach of place 3. Now they have a gap of 7 points.
Hamburger SV will probably finish the season at place 4 again. They did not manage a win against Fürth. And now they have to wait for Düsseldorf to lose one of their remaining games and they themselves have to win one more.
Even for Holstein Kiel, which is currently in second place, it will be difficult to match or even surpass St. Pauli points tally because there is very little chance of them losing the remaining matches.
From now on we can conclude who will be promoted but when are in Bundesliga 1 it means the competition is getting tougher and St. Pauli must get stronger to keep up with the competition.
Dusseldorf itself, which is the team in third place, must really be able to maintain victory in the next match because Hamburger SV has the opportunity to shift their position if they make mistake.
Difference between those who currently occupy positions 3 and 4 is only 1 point and in conditions like this changes can very likely occur, stability and consistency will only determine who is the best.
We see what will happen in the competition for ranks 3 and 4, I sure this will be quite an interesting competition.
Osnabrück beat Wehen this week. This was a surprise because Osnabrück was the attacking team throughout the match and gave very few chances. Osnabrück scored in one of these positions and got their fourth victory in the league. Still, they won't be able to avoid falling. Even though Schalke is in danger, it is a team that I do not think will be relegated from the league. They manage to maintain their place in the remaining weeks.
So far, I have been too unfamiliar with the development of bundesliga 2, so it is not too updated with the latest conditions of bundesliga 2 at this time, as I remember, Schalke was a great team once in the bundesliga but now it seems that they no longer have that greatness in recent seasons, after being relegated in 2021 Schalke was able to rise and regain promotion in the 2022 season but unfortunately they were unable to return to compete in the Bundesliga and had to be relegated to League 2 This season, I think Schalke's declining performance is none other than their current financial stability after the economic crisis that hit Europe.For now I think it will be difficult for Schalke to save themselves from the relegation zone because indeed the gap between Schalke and Hansa Rostock is only 3 points and Hansa Rostock's chances to climb into a safer zone are wide open in the next match because it is also against a weak team like Wehen Wiesbaden, while Schalke may not be free from their bad luck because they have to face Hannover who are quite strong this season, I think It's hard not to say Schalke are not relegated because they are quite bad this seasons.

Schalke is in big danger. They are only 2 points away from place 16 and only 3 points away from place 16. Osnabrück will not make it and will be dependent on Rostock and Kaiserslautern. I do not think Schalke will be relegated either, because Rostock and Kaiserslautern are not better than Schalke. But things can change quickly and Schalke could find themselves on a relegation spot.

Hamburg have been trying to promote to the Bundesliga for many years but still no result. He got really close in the recent two seasons by playing promotion games but still they can't make it. 
They are fighting for the third position right now and it doesn't look like they will be able to finish in top two once again. If they finish the regular season at the third position their probable opponent is likely to be Mainz or Koln for now in the promotion game. After all these attempts and fails I wouldn't be very confident about them this time as well. By the way I'm really sad to see Schalke in this poor condition. They might even relegate from the 2nd Bundesliga...

Hamburger is not going to get a promotion in my opinion. I actually believe that they will have to fight for a promotion in the next season as well. The difference in points are pretty big right now between them and the team which is in the second position. But their being in the third position at the end of the season is possible. But I would not trust them to actually get promoted.

But in the matches that have been scheduled it is clear that St. Pauli has the advantage because it will only play against Paderborn where there is team with performance below St. Pauli is quite far.
I knew that the game would be easy for St. Pauli and this win means they will save 57 points to stay at the top of the standings more comfortably, just really hope that no surprises will happen.
If surprise comes and luck favors Paderborn then there is chance that Paderborn can beat St. Pauli and this is very dangerous for St. Pauli is at the top of the standings and is being targeted to be surpassed by Holstein Kiel.

St. Pauli is the favourite in the match against Paderborn. And everything speaks in favour of St. Pauli based on their performance in recent matches. But Paderborn has still a small chance of finishing at place 3 at the end of the season. If they win tomoorow they would then have 42 points and have to hope that the other teams will not win 2-3 of the following games.
Due to the win from Düsseldorf, Hamburger SV has slipped to place 4. If they will not win against Fürth tomorrow, it will increasingly difficult for them to reach place 3 at the end of the season.

both favorites, düsseldorf and kiel, won their games today. kiel defeated rostock 2-0 at home and düsseldorf won their away game in kaiserslautern 3-1 after trailing 0-1.
braunschweig picked up very important points with a very clear 5-0 win against elversberg and have now overtaken rostock and kaiserslautern in the table. if schalke lose their home game against karlsruhe tomorrow, s04 will also remain behind braunschweig

The several years long period of excuses is over for Hamburg. The game against Fürth is the last straw they have. Fürth could close the gap to 3 points only if they beat Hamburg and then I think it would literally be over given that Düsseldorf and Kiel won their games. But then Hamburg wouldn't only have to deal with the teams in front of them, but they would be fighting Hannover, Paderborn and probably Fürth for the last seven games. Hamburg has to play against Kiel, Pauli and Paderborn. If they don't win the game tomorrow, I'd consider their objective to get promoted officially missed. It is not a zero chance then, but Düsseldorf has the better schedule in my opinion and Holstein and Pauli would be out of reach for Hamburg. I can't believe that they are still messing around with their promotion into the Bundesliga. I bet that literally nobody thought Hamburg would be playing 2. Bundesliga six consecutive years (and probably a seventh)...

As expected both teams managed to get 3 points, the race for direct promotion still continues, next we'll look at the St. Pauli - SC Paderborn 07 match. There are 7 more matches left before the 2. Bundesliga finishes, which team do you think will get direct promotion?
And what are your views on the St. Pauli - SC Paderborn 07? can St. Pauli gets an easy win?

Holstein Kiel victory, which gave him full points, brought him closer to than St. Pauli is currently at the top of the standings, this will create an increasingly interesting competition though

Exciting situation at the bottom of the table. Braunschweig seem to be the only team to have realised what is at stake. Things have been slowly improving since they got their new coach. In the game against Elversberg they have put the pressure on from the start and were rewarded with an early goal. The next game is against Düsseldorf.

Tomorrow Kiel will play against Hansa Rostock. Rostock are at palce 16 and they will try everything to get away from there. They have won their last two games, even against Fürth. But it will be much tougher against Kiel. Kiel have a 5 points gap to palce 1 and place 3, so they will definitely stay at place 2.
