Only one can get promoted after tonight. Yet another disappointing season for HSV.
St Pauli will be promoted along with Kiel if Kiel beat Dusseldorf at home tomorrow night. Failing that, a win at home to bottom of the table Osnabruck on Sunday lunchtime will also secure promotion.
The team who finish 3rd look set for a playoff against either Mainz or Union Berlin. Union have had a very poor season considering they played in the Champions League. Wonder how many CL participants have ever gone on the be relegated? My guess is none.
Union’s rapid decline is surprising isn’t it. They parted company with the coach who had led them through the promotion and CL qualification and have also spent on higher profile players. Sounds like it hasn’t worked out. Having said that Mainz appear to have the tougher run-in.
I’m in Berlin at the moment visiting family. Actually watching Hertha later in a game that is a bit of a dead rubber. Then off to St. Pauli tomorrow for one that definitely isn‘t! As you say, all eyes on the Kiel v Düsseldorf match tonight though!
Final round of Bundesliga games is at 14.30 today, with 2 of Köln, Union Berlin, Mainz and Bochum to occupy the final relegation and the relegation play-off spots. Köln look most likely to get relegated today, but could still just catch Union Berlin. Union look the most likely to face a play-off against Düsseldorf. (All umlauts present and correct TBG )
