The top games from the upcoming week

Probably the most anticipated match will be Hertha BSC vs Hannover 96 on 04/26/2024 at 16:30. Hannover 96 has the upper hand in this match, since they are currently on the sixth place in the table. However, they still want to make sure to keep their rank. Both teams will also have to make their last match's result up to their fans, since neither of them won their last clash: Hertha BSC didn't manage to beat Karlsruher SC, while Hannover 96 lost against FC St. Pauli.

Another match fans are looking forward to takes place on 04/27/2024 at 18:30. Here, Schalke 04 (currently in 13th place) will face Fortuna Dusseldorf (3rd place). Schalke 04 might be in a weaker position here, since they didn't manage to win their last match against SV 07 Elversberg–while Greuther Furth was beaten by Fortuna Dusseldorf. Looking at the teams' performance in their last matches can also be an indicator about their current form: Schalke 04's performance hasn't been that great lately, they only managed a draw in most of their recent games. Fortuna Dusseldorf, however, managed to perform better lately, winning 5 of their last five games.

People are also excited to see 1 FC Nuremberg fight against Karlsruher SC. They currently are in 11th place and 5th place, making their match interesting to watch. Karlsruher SC won their last match against Hertha BSC, while 1 FC Nuremberg didn't manage to win against SC Paderborn 07. Now, Karlsruher SC hast the chance to show that they're the better team altogether. You can also look at their recent performance to get an idea of their chances in the upcoming match: Karlsruher SC managed to be victorious in most of their recent games, winning 3 out of their last 5.

2. Bundesliga Standings

Holstein Kiel are currently leading the table with 61 points and a goal differencial of 26 (60 scored and 34 received). So far, they have won 19 out of their 30 matches–but since they're only leading by 1 point, FC St. Pauli (2/60pts) could take the lead this week, if they win their match against Hansa Rostock (16/31pts). Of course, Holstein Kiel would also have to lose their match. In any case, players will give their best to help their team win. But not only the top of the table has some interesting matches to offer–teams in the lower half also have to fight hard to stay in their league and not finish the season in last place. The last place is currently occupied by VfL 1899 Osnabruck (18/24pts) with only 24 points. Since they're already 8 points behind the last safe place, their only chance of staying in the 2. Bundesliga would be to make it to the relegation playoffs. If they fight hard, VfL 1899 Osnabruck could actually stay in the league, since they're only 8 points behind SV Wehen Wiesbaden (15/32pts), who are in need of points to not face relegation.

The biggest positive change in position, compared to the last matchday, has been made by Karlsruher SC (6/45 points), who moved up one position and are now in sixth place in the league. On the other side, Hannover 96 (5/46 points) made the biggest loss in positions, losing a total of two ranks.
