Berlin (AP) – Werder Bremen, Hamburger SV and SV Darmstadt 98 will determine the second direct climber on Sunday (3.30 p.m. / Sky) in the season finale of the 2nd Bundesliga.
The Werder team has the best chances, three points ahead of the two pursuers in second place behind FC Schalke 04, who have already been promoted. HSV and Darmstadt only have a chance if Bremen lose. The opponents of Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga relegation are also being searched for in the final sprint.
The slide rule for the last second division matchday:
Werder Bremen (60 points, 63:43 goals)
– rises on its own with a win or a draw in the home game against Jahn Regensburg
– Promotes even if Hamburger SV and Darmstadt 98 don’t win their games
Hamburger SV (57 points, 64:33 goals)
– rise with a win at Hansa Rostock if Werder Bremen lose and Darmstadt 98 don’t overtake them with a nine-goal win
– rises directly with a home win against SC Paderborn if Bremen loses and HSV either doesn’t win or Darmstadt’s win is nine goals higher than Hamburg’s success
