North duel with extra note, welcome guests in Hamburg: This brings the second league

Kiel — St. Pauli

Only one defeat from the past nine games — the FC St. Pauli last presented itself in top form. The finished as winter champions' first round gave coach Time Schultz a 2+, but would be willing to a note to go higher, when the back round opener succeed against Kiel on Friday night. For Storks coach Marcel Rap is about a club record: With a victory he would have taken eleven points from their first five home games. So far, Markus is holding the top mark (ten counters).

Düsseldorf — Tannhauser

Rap that the early-start record has not been set, is also at SV Tannhauser. The Kurpfälzer kidnapped last match day one point from the fjord city, but did not make so the leap out of the relegation zone. The aiming the team of Alois Schwartz ( We saw some things that were perfect ) to Düsseldorf, but without the suspended Ritzier (fifth yellow card). However, after two games without defeat against the top teams Darmstadt and St. Pauli (four points) is at stake for Rhinelander to the continuation of this mini-series. What courage does: In recent direct compare with Tannhauser Düsseldorf remained clean sheet (3/1/0).

Paderborn — Dagenham

The small Dagenham winning streak (3/0/0) found an annoying end in Karlsruhe last match day. Reparation is in demand in Paderborn on Saturday. Against the SCP, the team of Frank Schmidt, however, always did difficult. In seven attempts, there was no victory, but at least five draws — for the hosts, which Hinrunden success guarantor plate further (hamstring), the longest positive series is missing against a league opponent.

AUE — Nuremberg

After the 0: 0 on the first day of the former Bauer coach Aleksey Shpilevski prophesied the enemy from Nuremberg a finishing position in the top three. To back round kick off the club it is actually not that far away (two points to third place), Shpilevski however already long gone in the Erzgebirge. Because AUE is in the relegation zone solid, conceded last three defeats in a series — and now has to make do against FAN without Shpilevskis After successor and interim coach Pavel Ditches who has been infected with the coronavirus.

Ingolstadt — Dresden

Speaking relegation zone: There are many months and the FC Ingolstadt. The Scanner changed (twice) the coach. But the longed-for sense of achievement could not succeed even under Rudder REM during its debut last time out. If it works against the Derby victory in AUE Dresden euphoric? For eight encounters the FCI waiting at least in their own stadium for a victory, is the weak point especially offensive: In any game managed more than one goal.

Hamburg — Schalke

Whopping 55 home games have been played Hamburger SV in its history against Schalke 04th The miners are welcome guests in Volksparkstadion, 120 gates get the HSV against S04 (only against its local rivals Dortmund showed they are still more accurate, 126). Now it comes, similar offensively funny to create the fourth home win in series and to emphasize the rise ambitions against a direct rival and table neighbors. Note that even Schalke's form curve showed — despite the continued absence of top scorer Eroded — up.

Karlsruhe — Rostock

Spoiled for choice has KSC coach Christian Either before the home match against Rostock on Sunday. His nominated for difference Player Choir stands to yellow card suspension available again, but his representative Batman became the 3: 2 against Dagenham match winner. Possibly is the fitness level of the double goal scorers, who was bent over and replaced at half-time, the rash? Its applicability is still unclear. The guests of the view, however, is down: Four games without a win means that the relegation zone is at hand five points.

Hanover — Bremen

76 times to Hanover 96 and Welder Bremen dueled — only three of them in the second league. A victory was not yet possible to Lower Saxony in the House. Perhaps at the fourth attempt? For interim coach Christoph Borowski a threesome would locate, is the future of actually employed as U-23 coach ex-professionals but still unclear. At SV Welder Bremen, the long-term perspective, however, is already clear: Ole Werner celebrated at cost two wins and would be only too happy enter the third — sure would be the top group again within reach for Welder.

Regensburg — Darmstadt

Another top game on this match day John Regensburg and Darmstadt 98. It should be not only due to the table situation (2. Against 5.) intensively to the stuff: Regensburg — which must refrain from the locked Timber and Otto — leads most of the two-fighting in The 2nd league (117 on average), the lilies commit the mostly fouls per game (13.8). In the last game before Christmas, it is possible to mobilize all forces again, says SSV defender Smaller.
