96 & Paderborn with home wins
Hamburger SV again has the best chance of a direct return to the first division and at least the promotion relegation place in the 2nd Bundesliga is practically certain. Hamburg won 5-1 (4-0) on Sunday at Jahn Regensburg, who was desolate in the first half. Due to the defeat of promotion rivals 1. FC Heidenheim at SC Paderborn, HSV’s prospects for second place have increased significantly.
In the one-sided game, Robert Glatzel (5th), twice Sonny Kittel (17th / penalty kick, 45th + 1) and Miro Muheim (30th) brought the favorites clearly in front before the break. The goal by Kaan Caliskaner (55th) at the premiere of the new Regensburg coach Joe Enochs was not enough. Substitute Filip Bilbija (81st) made the final score with the fifth HSV goal.
Promotion celebration postponed: Darmstadt 98 loses 1: 2 in Hanover
SV Darmstadt 98 has to wait for promotion to the Bundesliga. The Hessians conceded a 1: 2 (1: 2) at Hannover 96 and missed the early ticket for the direct transition to the first class three games before the end. The leaders of the second division played too prone to errors and deservedly suffered their second defeat in a row. Matthias Bader and Braydon Manu saw yellow and red cards in the final phase.
The 96 attackers Havard Nielsen (11th minute) and Cedric Teuchert (31st) dampened the promotion euphoria of the more than 3,500 guest fans among the 30,000 spectators. Phillip Tietz (43rd) made the connection. Thanks to a gap of three points to Heidenheim and four to Hamburger SV, the second division team can make the fourth first division promotion in the club’s history next Friday (6.30 p.m. / Sky) in the penultimate game of the season against Magdeburg.

Setback instead of promotion party: Heidenheim loses in Paderborn
Severe setback instead of an early promotion party: The 2:3 (2:1) at SC Paderborn reduced the lead over HSV on the relegation place before the two final games from four points to one point. However, it has been clear since Saturday that the FCH has at least the relegation. Thanks to the win, Paderborn moved up to fourth place and kept their minimal chance of promotion relegation.
Kai Klefisch gave Paderborn the lead with his first goal in the second division (26th). Tim Kleindienst with his 24th goal of the season (30th) and Denis Thomalla (36th) still ensured Heidenheim’s break lead. But Paderborn turned the game around again through Marvin Pieringer (50th) and the outstanding Florent Muslija (52nd).
