HSV uses Darmstadt's mistake

HSV now in the middle of the promotion race

With the view of the at least temporary jump in second place, the HSV lively on Saturday afternoon against Hannover 96. However, the red pants were allowed to thank the goalkeeper Heuer Fernandes, who held twice against Weydandt (4th, 12th). HSV -Knipser Glatzel presented himself colder, who shot the Hamburg in the lead by double strike (13th, 20th) - Kerk shortened immediately (22nd). In the second section, for Hanover it was not a matter of sport, Hamburg remained the better team. Reis (56.) and merchant (76th) missed the preliminary decision, but the red pants brought the lead over time and remain at least third after the match day.

MAINKA with the back of the head

In Regensburg, the Jahn was twice lucky that two Heidenheim post hits (4th, 20th) did not steer a game between two teams from the middle of the table in one direction. Shortly before the break, the landlord suddenly cheered, but a little later Albers' supposed leadership was collected because of an offside position. At the beginning of the second section, the gate then counted - the first of the FCH: After a corner, Mainka scored the Heidenheim leadership (51st) with the back of the head, which, after Zwerts' headball chance for Regensburg Mohr, expanded with a tight right shot to the 2-0 final score (82.).

Gaus misses the farewell victory

In the last second division home game, FC Ingolstadt did not present itself particularly dangerous, the guests of Hansa Rostock, who were already saved, joined. In the first half hour there was not a single shot, Duljevic then had a big chance for the cogge - Jendrusch held strong (35th). After the break, Gaus missed the goal for Ingolstadt (55th) and thus a very conciliatory end against his own backdrop in the relegation season.

cheers Schalke against Corona-plagued Kiez back?

On the Saturday evening (8.30 p.m.) there will be a clerk between Schalke 04 and FC St. Pauli. Schalke is the only team that could celebrate early promotion on the 33rd matchday: After Darmstadt in Düsseldorf pulled the shorter one, the miners would be back in the Bundesliga with a win. The hopes of the royal blue are particularly on Simon Terodde's shoulders. The best goal scorer in the lower house with 28 goals shot the Schalke with his last-minute goal last weekend in the 2-1 win at SV Sandhausen back to first place and thus into the comfortable starting situation. FC St. Pauli, even more than a good situation after the back series, played completely playful in 2022, and three points were made from seven points ahead of third place.

To make matters worse, the Kiez backs were haunted by a Corona outbreak last weekend, and ten professionals are in isolation. The FCSP does not fall into self -pity, but wants to compete at Schalke: "We do everything we can to get a competitive group together," said sports director Andreas Bornemann. However, it is also clear that those responsible for the players will not take any health risks, which is why there is a big question mark behind the line -up for Saturday evening.

Kempe goal too little: Darmstadt sleeps in Düsseldorf first half

SV Darmstadt 98 lost 1-2 at Fortuna Düsseldorf on Friday evening and suffered a setback in the promotion race. At the same time, the lilies made it possible for the first match ball due to their defeat Schalke on matchday 33. In Düsseldorf, the SVD completely slept the initial phase, Iyoha (3rd) and Zimmermann (10th) met for the early leadership for the Fortunes. The lilies were even lucky that the aluminum prevented a possible 0: 3 from a claw. After the restart, Darmstadt took command, Kempe scored the connection goal from the point (60th). The guests now vehemently pressed the equalization, but this should no longer fall. Rather, both teams lost one man in a hectic final phase: Düsseldorf's Ginczeks saw red, Darmstadt's Gjasula yellow-red (88th each).

Paderborn wins the last home game of the season

SC Paderborn won 2-0 against SV Sandhausen in the parallel game and thus celebrated a threesome in the last home game of the season. The SCP took the lead through a wonderful distance from Muslija (27th), Klement, who had already prepared the leadership goal, followed the 2-0 in the 60th minute. Then nothing happened. At Sandhausen, the series of eight games abroad tore without defeat in the last away game.

in Nuremberg there is realism - Werder relies on "something crazy"

On Sunday (1.30 p.m.) , the last two promotion candidates intervene with 1. FC Nürnberg and Werder Bremen. For the club, hopes of six points behind are only theoretical nature of six points behind in second and third place as well as the significantly worse goal difference compared to the competition. "To land at the top, we still lack a bit under normal circumstances," said sports director Dieter Hecking a realistic assessment before the last two match days. And so Hecking, together with sports director Olaf Rebbe, is already planning the squad for another attack towards Oberhaus: Tom Krauss could not be kept, but Linus Tempelmann remains another year. In particular, the focus is on the reinforcement of the attack, only 48 goals scored are among the top six of the table by far the low value. Kiel, on the other hand, has stabilized himself after a restless back series and the departure of coach Ole Werner under his successor Marcel Rapp and has long since been in his pocket after just one defeat from the last six league portraits (2 victories/ 3 draw). Holstein uses the quiet fairway and enables Denys Miroshnichenko, who fled from Ukraine, to keep up with KSV in training.

Behind Werder Bremen is a wave valley of feelings. After the 4-1 win on Schalke, the Hanseatic trees were almost celebrated as a promoted man, after which 2: 3 near Holstein Kiel was suddenly in the valley of tears. "The truth lies in the middle," emphasized Coach Werner, and gave himself deliberately unimpressed by the whole up and down in front of the duel with relegated Erzgebirge Aue, which the SVW is now playing back into the cards. With Darmstadt's defeat in Düsseldorf, Bremen has the direct return on his own again. Even if the topic is of course not yet through, as Werner knows: "As a rule, something crazy happens."

Confidence for the relegation relegation: Dresden finally succeeded in winning 2022?

The game between the Karlsruher SC and Dynamo Dresden is very tabular. However, the KSC could still work a few places upwards and thus improve its position for the distribution of TV money. Not insignificant, the Badeners have to look for a replacement for Philipp Hofmann from summer. The attacker, who has scored 48 goals for the KSC in 94 league porties since 2019 and thus snapped purely mathematically in every second game, is drawn to Bundesliga club VfL Bochum. Dresden is already a participant in the relegation relegation. For the Saxons, it is particularly important to refuel with a victory for the extension in the fight against relegation. Because a threesome has not yet succeeded in the dynamos in 2022.
