Schalke should stop dreaming and wake up. They have to accept things as it is. Currently there in fifth place. And there is no way there going to be promoted if they keep playing like this. As you said they are not a Champions League contender anymore. They have to stop acting like it.

I also think St Pauli is going to win this match. By the way, St Pauli is currently in the first place and that is also by playing one match less than the others. They got 26 points in their 12 matches. On the other hand, Darmstadt has played 13 matches and got 23 points. So if they win they could achieve second place or even be in the first place if the goal difference is big enough.

That is certainly the most interesting game of that game day. I can also imagine that it is going to be a draw. Darmstadt will definitely try to take it home, but if in the end it turns out to be a draw I think both teams would still be ok with it.

This match has become difficult for St. Pauli because of the injured players that St. Pauli has at the moment, but I think if it weren't for those injuries St. Pauli can sure dominate Darmstadt, but let just see even though St. Pauli have many injured players, They still have most of their key Players Guido Burgstaller is proven as the main key goal scorer, and defender we can say he is an all-rounder for the team, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Maximillian Dittgen, Simon Makienok were supports and primary players for St. Pauli and lastly Finn Ole Becker, is great in assisting the team, my Pick would be St.Pauli to win this.

Yes but there is too much chaos in the club. While other clubs like Regensburg and other "no names" enjoy the games, give their best and enjoy strong results, Schalke still behaves as if they were playing for the champions league title. They have to accept that they now sucked for years and they have to set up the whole club in a different way in order to take pressure away. Some pressure is healthy, but that is not pressure what they have. As I said, it is chaos.

Schalke's last two games have had bad results. lost 1-0 to Heidenheim and lost 2-4 Darmstadt. while the top 10 of the division 2 Bundesliga standings are still very competitive. I'm sure there will still be a lot of movement and there will even be a possibility of a shift from the mid-table teams to get into the top 5.

I have always preferred to also still follow the main league which is Bundesliga, but this thread just made me checked 2-Bundesliga today and not long ago, I was surprised that Schalke 04 has relegated because I always see the club on the main league before, but it's been long I have not been following the second league in Germany. 2-Bundesliga is very competitive, clubs like St. Pauli and Jahn Regensburg are showing good strength, but this is just the beginning to me, Schalke 04 will likely try its best to get back to Bundesliga.

I agree. Right now the table is still very close and chances are equal for pretty much all the teams in the upper half of the table, but I don't expect Schalke to become stable enough that they can really compete for rank 1 or 2. Maybe there is a good chance they will be fighting for rank 3, but even that is going to become tough.

 Darmstadt looks so amazing this year, their attack is second to none in the league  I hope they can push for promotion, Torsten lieberknecht deserve to be in the Bundesliga again

I am gone for too long and now FC St. Pauli is in the 1st standing, I was busy with the 1st division than with the 2nd division but sure St. Pauli is doing great right now, and Jan Regensburg have to win 1 more to rack up on the standings, and they should work out for it fast because Paderborn, Darmstadt, and Schalke are sure getting aggressive with it, but Schalke is getting left behind by letting Darmstadt and Heidenheim a win.

My picks for certain teams in the 2nd division

Hannover 96 VS Paderborn

This could be easy for Paderborn, but Hannover 96 is playing home, and even though Hannover have home advantage, and Sven Michel is at risk of suspension, and Paderborn really needs to be more careful right now Felix Platte and Kai Proger is still there to make another win for the Paderborn I say this is really an easy win for Paderborn.

Hamburger SV VS Jahn Regensburg

Hamburger has a number of players that can not play because of injuries, but Hamburger SV still have their main players going to play and Jahn Regensburg on second though have Benedikt Gimber and Sarpreet Singh 4 yellow so they are at Risk for Suspension, maybe this could be a tough fight for Regensburg, but they still have Max Besuschkow, Benedikt Gimber, and Jan-Niklas Beste, my pick will still be Regensburg even though this could be a tough fight for them.

Darmstadt VS FC St. Pauli

This could be a great match to watch regarding how Darmstadt has a good record in the 2nd division right now and a potential threat for Regensburg to be denominated in the 2nd spot, but their opponent will be FC St. Pauli a tough opponent, but St. Pauli has 6 Injuries and 1 red card suspension, their defense might be crucial but I think their offense still is strong, but this might end up in a Draw for now, but St. Pauli regarding their strong offense might pull something my pick will still be FC St. Pauli.

If Schalke loses a few matches at once, they will have to give up their dream of qualifying for the Bundesliga next season. The second Bundesliga is now becoming very competitive. Even if a team loses points in 1 match, they will lose their position in the points table. If Schalke loses 3 matches in a row, they will not be in the top 10 of the points table. Then of course Schalke's management coach will think of changing.

You are right. Pauli is just 1 point ahead of Rengseburg. They will lose their top spot if they draw or lose a match. Pauli has 3 important matches in this month. They will play Darmstadt, Nuremberg and Schalke(5th Dec.). If Pauli can win these matches then they will definitely not lose the top spot. Because in 2.Bundesliga These teams are the strongest.

I can also very well imagine that Schalke will sack their coach very quickly if they don't win several games in a row. Schalke wants (or needs?) to get back up. They will do everything for that. And the first thing always is to change the coach.

Ever since i have started to follow bundesliga back in 2013, and then became a dortmund fan during klops regime, I come to know that schalke is the master of sacking managers in bundesliga. (I'm Sporting CP from Portugal supporter since I was born) I put Schalke on the same blacklist as SL Benfica.

It looks like Schalke will not return to the Bundesliga soon next season, because if I look at the statistics so far I think Schalke still has weaknesses and is not strong enough to be able to compete longer for the 1-3 place in the standings. But yes, we don't know for sure, because if we consider the current point gap, at least anyone who looks will be able to consider the position will change quickly and Schalke, of course, still have a chance to be able to end the season in 3rd place or higher. But for me for now, it looks like Schalke will not be strong enough to compete until the end of the season, of course this is also interesting to look forward to.

@BALIK both Bundesliga have always been competitive, but the key for the qualification will depend on which team badly wants to qualify and they’ll have to prove it by scoring goals and winning the matches on the pitch. Also Pauli has only one point advantage, and they’ll have to be extra careful and avoid losing or drawing their matches otherwise they’ll end up losing their top spot.

As the day goes on. The Bundesliga is becoming more competitive. Schalke, who are fifth in the points table, are just 4 points apart from Pauli at the top of the points table. The point table can change at any time. And so now every team has to be very careful. If they lose a point in a match, they will fall behind and their dream of playing in the Bundesliga will remain unfulfilled.

Your right thats exactly what i was gonna say many potential teams that can make it to the bundesliga most of them has unstable results which make it entertaining i guess by the 20th round things will become more clear and many teams will drop out from the race, i think hambourger deserve the promotion for many seasons they competed and never made it to the bundesliga.

Schalke have lost their last two matches and are now fifth in the table. After losing to a relatively weak team like Heidenheim, I thought it was an accident. But in the last match Schalke conceded 4 goals. They showed very weak gameplay. Such a performance will not fulfill their dream of qualifying for the Bundesliga.

you're right at the moment. but normally that's not quite true. because 1 game is still missing. because at sandhausen so many players
are infected with corona that the game against fc.st.pauli has been cancelled.
and since st.pauli has a home game i assume that st.pauli will win and thus have three more points.
i don't think that will be the last game that will be cancelled because of corona. there will certainly be a few more in this cold season.
