Köln, Mainz and Darmstadt are at the bottom of the table. Things are not looking good for them at the moment. Köln is at place 16 and has an gap of 5 points to place 15, where Union Berlin is. Union Berlin were able to widen the gap with a win against Darmstadt at last weekend. But Union Berlin still have to play their game against Mainz. This was cancelled due to the winter weather. That will be a 6-point game for both teams.

The three teams at the bottom of the table do not have a long distance in points, so in the long season it is still possible for them to recover, but these three teams have not been able to recover until now and even Köln, Mainz and Darmstadt have not been able to win in 5 matches. the last one.
If you look at the overall performance of Köln, Mainz and Darmstadt, I think they have the possibility of being relegated because up to now we haven't seen that they will rise.

That's right, because the distance is not much different, there will be very fierce competition between the teams in the relegation zone. Even though this season is still very long, if you look at the performance of these three teams, there is no difference and for Mainz and Koln, who have been in the Bundesliga for quite a long time, they should be able to get better every season, but what we see is just the opposite. For Darmstadt, maybe I can understand, especially since they are a promoted team this season, so if their results are not optimal then the place they get reflects their performance in their first season.

I think there are times when teams go up and down every season and as we saw, Union Berlin, which last season finished in 4th place in the standings, now has to accept the fact that they can no longer maintain their performance from last season. So in conclusion, if they all want to survive then they have to win and if they still lose then they have to go down to the division below the Bundesliga.
