As table 11th. is located HSV after 22 games in the solid midfield of the Bundesliga. The “Rothosen” are six points ahead of relegation place 16 (St. Pauli) and even seven points ahead of place 17 (Werder Bremen). The supercomputer of the statistics provider Opta now predicts that HSV will no longer have anything to do with the relegation battle.
The data was prepared by the portal “90min.de”. HSV therefore only has a 1.2 percent chance of slipping into one of the two direct relegation places. Even for relegation, the Opta AI only sees a 2.7 percent chance. According to the calculation, HSV ended up in 11th place.
On the other hand, two other clubs from the north have to tremble: According to Opta-KI, Wolfsburg is being relegated from the Bundesliga alongside Heidenheim. St. Pauli would still have the chance to save themselves from relegation against the third team in the second division.
