Today there is lots of movement in the lower ranks.
60minutes into the games we see:
Hertha vs Hoffenheim (1-0) - Hoffenheim could still strike back and shouldn't be underestimated
Stuttgart vs Augsburg (1-2) - A loss would be very bad for Stuttgart
Mainz vs Bielefeld (1-0) - Mainz will likely bring this game home
If the results stay like this then Augsburg and Hertha are scoring big points today whereas Bielefeld and Stuttgart are in big trouble now. The new coach seems to have a positive effect on Hertha!
Stuttgart was able to turn the match around in the last minutes and now has a much more favorable position. It looks like we'll see a close race at the bottom towards the end of the season with only 1 point difference between ranks 14 and 17. The losers of todays games were Augsburg and Bielefeld. Especially Bielefeld lost the last 4 games and needs to turn this around in the next weeks.
It's really interesting competition 4 teams to stay away from the relegation zone, because 3 teams have the same points and Bielefeld is only
one point away from the other 3 teams. Maybe only Greuther Furth will certainly be in the relegation zone this season, because the difference is
10 points with Bielefeld who is in 17th position, so it's very difficult for Greuther Furth to get out of the relegation zone. Hertha and Stuttgart had
positive results in this week, especially Hertha quite surprisingly managed to beat Hoffenheim with a fairly large score, after 9 previous matches
without a win in the Bundesliga. This shows the fighting spirit of Hertha players to get out of the relegation zone, but Hertha still need more points
to get out of the relegation zone, and the next match against Leverkusen will be a very tough match for Hertha. Meanwhile, Bielefeld will face
Stuttgart and this will be a very exciting match, because both teams have the same quality. Then Augsburg will face Wolfsburg whose
form is inconsistent, so there is still a chance for Augsburg to win. We'll see if next week there will be another change of position between
the 4 teams who are at the bottom.
