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.
That right, from all this it is clear that St. Pauli already has an advantage in scoring points and they are team that is really difficult to beat so they have guarantee of promotion to Bundesliga 1.
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.
