FC Bayern’s championship title has been fixed since Sunday. However, many other decisions in the German professionals are still pending. What can happen this weekend.
The season is coming to the end in giant steps. From the 1st to the 3rd league there are only two game days left. High voltage is in many places. Who rises, who gets an extra chance of relegation and who will have to take a class deeper in the coming season?
T-online gives an overview of what can happen where this weekend:
Master (Bavaria) and runner -up (Leverkusen) have already been determined.
Eintracht Frankfurt can secure the qualification for the Champions League with a home win against FC St. Pauli (Sunday, 5.30 p.m. in the T-Online Live ticker). With three points, the third -placed Hesse could no longer slip to fifth place. A draw or even a defeat is sufficient if BVB does not win in Leverkusen as fifth.
The descent of the bottom VfL Bochum can be sealed. In the event of a defeat at home against Mainz, the team of coach Dieter Hecking definitely has to go down into the 2nd league.
If the VfL win, it depends on how the table-16., The 1. FC Heidenheim, plays at Union Berlin. If the FCH also wins, Bochum’s descent is also determined. Even if both Bochum and Heidenheim play draws, VfL relegation can no longer be prevented. Bochum no longer has a chance to stay in the direct class at nine points.
Also promoted Holstein Kiel Can descend on the penultimate matchday. And that when the storks lose against SC Freiburg and Heidenheim wins at the same time.
The relegation participant could also be determined on the 33rd matchday – if Hoffenheim wins in Wolfsburg on Friday, Heidenheim came to Berlin the next day in Berlin and loses Kiel. In this constellation that would be 1. FC Heidenheim no longer to push from 16th place and would no longer have a chance to stay in the class.
In the lower house there is high voltage at the top as below. Only Jahn Regensburg has already been relegated, all other decisions are still open.
Both league leaders can do the direct climb this weekend Hamburger SV as well as the runner -up 1. FC Cologne make clear.
If the third in the table SV Elversberg (four points behind Hamburg) in his home game against Eintracht Braunschweig (Sat., 1 p.m.) no more points than the HSV against Ulm (Saturday, 8.30 p.m.), the Hamburgers are determined as a promotion after seven years of second class. Conversely, this means: Hamburg has certainly increased with a victory against SSV.
The following applies to Cologne: A victory (in Nuremberg) is enough to rise prematurely if Elversberg does not win against Braunschweig. A draw is sufficient if the SVE loses.
In the basement, promoters can SSV Ulm (17th) dismount if the “sparrows” lose at the HSV and Prussia Münster (16.) At least one counter against Hertha BSC Holt.
