Yes, I agree. I also see the teams you mentioned as favourites. Although Darmstadt has a better performance than Hamburger SV with only one lost game. They have already lost 5 games.


The long break for about 2 months is the first time for the clubs. It will not be easy to train the players so that they are focused again just when the first game occur.

The second Bundesliga is getting more intense by the day. It is now impossible to predict which team will qualify for the Bundesliga. Because no team is able to sustain good performance consistently. Darmstadt top the table with 36 points. And their points gap with Heidenheim in the third place in the table is only 3. So the top three teams in the points table can exchange places at any time. Since the performance of the teams is completely erratic. So I think each of the top 5 teams in the table has a chance to qualify for the Bundesliga.

However, they got a two-month-long break for the upcoming World Cup. The team that can perform stably after the break will be able to keep their position on the table unchanged. But I think Darmstadt can qualify for the Bundesliga. Because their defense is strong enough.

Darmstadt team are the leaders and unbeaten since the first round, they managed great results but recently there is a downgrade in their performance, they drawn three times in their last five games which made heidenheim team catch up a little bit to them in the third position now they are pressured by not only hamburger but heidenheim as well and there is only three points difference between the leader and the number three spot, things will be interesting this season both on the top and bottom of the table.

Not only Fürth, I was also surprised how they got the goals against Sandhausen. Something like that should not happen if you want to get promoted and play against the last team in the table. The defence made some mistakes and another team would have taken more advantage of that. But now Hamburg is at place 2 and will stay there for a while.

Well, the truth is that the dynamics of the 2nd Bundesliga are taking place like last season, teams that I thought were not going to have as much life are proteganists, I am afraid that HSV does not have a position that is well away in points from the others , that is to say, that it is first with a large number of points in favor, almost impossible for the other teams to reach it, like Darmstadt, which, as far as I am concerned, must be in the Budesligam, everything is a matter of waiting because this is becoming very good, many games are missing and you are results that can make some teams that are dreaming of entering the Bundesliga go up or down.

Well, to be honest, the victory of Greuther Fürth surprised me and it is something that seems quite pleasant to me at the same time, I know that HSV is a very complete team and should not lose in games like this, for me they have to do better things within the pitch, I don't know if HSV has been too confident and that's why they lost, but they should take control of this team and do things better because as time goes by things get harder , and last season of the 2nd Bundesliga, there were many teams that took the first place and then went down, this is something that cannot be controlled, the truth is what I like about the 2nd Bundesliga, that volatility in the teams .

This is how things go:

Fürth put on the pressure right from the start. And that is dangerous for Hamburg. They can not play their game and quickly get nervous when the opponent runs to the ball quickly and presses. Hamburger SV deserved to lose. They have to do better at Saturday. The teams behind them are close and it is up to them on which place in the table they will be at the winter break.

Hansa Rostock were lucky to get a draw with their new coach. Much to do.

yesterday's games only had a lot of goals in just one game

Greuther Furth 1 - 0 Hamburg

this is a result that left me very surprised, i was convinced that hamburg could win this game, they needed to win to be able to stay in first place, after the victory in the last game they were supposed to enter this game with greater determination and win the game, although Greuther Furth is not an easy opponent to deal with because they also came to this game confident since they had two consecutive victories. but hamburg lost the game and missed a good chance to stay at the top of the table

Hansa Rostock 1 - 1 Nuremberg

Nuremberg could have left this game with a win, but right near the end of the game they conceded 1 goal, if Nuremberg had won that game they could have distanced themselves a little from the relegation zone, at least for now they would have distanced themselves from the zone relegation

Sandhausen 3 - 4 heidenheim

I'm also surprised by this result, I was hoping that heidenheim could win this game with some comfort, but they conceded 3 goals.

Important and unexpected victory for Bielefeld. And that against Paderborn. Hannover won against Düsseldorf and thus overtook Paderborn in the table. They are now at place 4 and will stay there until the weekend. The top 3 will play tomorrow and the day after. Darmstadt will play at Thursday and can watch the games tomorrow.

An amazing event happened last night. A match was played in which there were many opportunities in terms of goals. A total of 34 shots were taken, but there were no goals. St. Pauli - Holstein Kiel ended in a 0-0 draw. For the gambler, this result also had a shock effect.

That went quickly at Hansa Rostock. After Jens Härtel was sacked yesterday, the new coach was already on the pitch  today at noon.  Patrick Glöckner. He was last the coach from Waldhof Mannheim in the third division until summer 2022 and missed out the promotion. He now has two match days time before the break to pick up a maximum of 6 points.

Despite the fact that Hamburger played well, the problem is their opponent. Regensburg also had some reasonable chances to score as well.

I would not call Hamburger's performance a bad thing. However, there were a few chances to score more goals. It was obviously sad to see that the penalty attempt was missed. It is relevant to point out that, despite the fact that this match had a very decisive scoreline, I think it could have turned out either way. In the end, I believe Hamburger had possession of the ball for the majority of the game. However, they did not have a sufficient amount of control over the match, as they should have had.

The reason I think this is quite justified is that Hansa finished 13th in the last season. This season, however, they are also in the same position as last season. There is no point in keeping your coach in authority if he is not making any progress in his coaching period. Now that I have seen the team in action, I realize that he did a good job bringing them here. In my opinion, this is the highest that he could do and now someone else will have to carry on with that flag, since he couldn't.

I do not think Hamburger SV played convincingly. They had the ball very often and created many chances. But it was the realisation of the chances that was not good. There were also many weaknesses on the other side, in the defence. Regensburg had too many chances and Hamburg was lucky that Regensburg did not score any more goals.

this news is very valid, this is a tweet from hansa's official twitter account

I think the decision taken by Hansa's management is too hasty, Hartel is actually very competent in training Hansa but only the quality of the players is still

since the start of the season, hansa did get bad results (8 defeats in 15 matches) but with the quality of players they have, the results are very reasonable

Hamburger sv won 3-1 despite being in a 1-0 defeat situation at the beginning of the match. They had a very comfortable win. Already this season Hamburger Sv will be promoted to the Bundesliga. If they continue like this, they will have ensured this early. The Bundesliga is where they need to be now, where they miss.

hansa rostock sacked its coach Jens Härtel today (after the third home defeat in a row).
J. Härtel had taken over the club in january 2019 and led it to promotion to the 2nd bundesliga in may 2021. who will be the successor has not yet been determined...

The match started very quickly and both teams scored in the 12th minute. Hamburg missed a penalty in the 49th minute. I thought Hamburg's pace would drop after this minute, but they scored another goal in the 79th minute. Missing the penalty, Glatzel brought the goal 3-1 in the 90th minute. At the end of this match, Hamburg continues its strong course. It looks like they will continue to collect points. They are only 1 point behind the leader.

hamburger sv remains in second place after this matchday. hsv won today's match against regensburg with 3:1.
it was a great game with lots of chances on both sides. the game could have ended 4:3.
but hsv won not undeservedly today and secured second place. nürnberg surprisingly lost 1:2 at home against magdeburg. and brauschweig lost 0:1 against fürth.

FC Heidenheim 3 - 0 Paderborn

excellent victory for FC Heidenheim, with this victory they are in third place and with little difference in points with the second place

Fortune Duesseldorf  1 - 0 St. Pauli

as expected, Duesseldorf won the game, but only managed to score 1 goal

Karlsruher SC 1 - 4 Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel had more luck in this game, they benefited from the own goal, they also scored in the 90 + 2 minutes

Actually, the match was supposed to be over for Hannover after the red card, but they have shown great resilience in this match and also the penalty save was a great mental boost for them.

But eventually, they were not able to win. I do think that the goalkeeper should have done better because that is a type of goal any goalkeeper would not want to concede. And they were actually doing very well defensively. Had that not gone in I think the match could have actually ended in a draw even though it was very close fight from the 30th minute of the match.
