Still can't predicting with team promoting to Bundesliga because have chance for 5 top teams standing, actually with Schalke remaining 2 points on top position standing can't guarantee with Bundesliga promotion. Next match against with St. Pauli and if away team success reach 3 points maybe chance for Schalke will take by St. Pauli. This match maybe Schalke favorite because last several match St. Pauli missing many important points and right now remaining 5 points from Schalke, maybe if can defeated Schalke will open second chance for St. Pauli with chance back to 3rd position.
Yea, I agree, Schalke vs St.Pauli could be a decisive game for both teams. If Schalke wins, they are almost guaranteed to be in the top2. St.Pauli would be out of the race then. For any other outcome the options would be more open. St.Pauli is pretty much out of the race unless they can win this game though (and even then their chances are slim).
It will also be interesting to see whether Bremen and Darmstadt can secure 6 points in the remaining 2 games. I somehow doubt that they will both be able to do that. I could see Darmstadt to lose some points in their game against Dusseldorf tonight.
Quotes for relegation into Bundesliga are now:
Schalke 1.14
Bremen 1.2
Darmstadt 2.3
Hamburg 4.5
St.Pauli 30.0
I agree with you guys for now Schalke is better position to qualify for the Bundesliga, and let’s hope that will they play with confidence and return where they belong i.e Bundesliga. Furthermore I too feel that it’s bit late for St. Pauli, but given the competitiveness of this league we cannot predict if they’ll miss out, and that’s what I like about this league it’s very unpredictable and fun to watch.
