1. FC Heidenheim has presented in a long-distance duel with Hamburger SV for the second promotion place in the 2nd Bundesliga.
Coach Frank Schmidt’s team won the penultimate matchday against SV Sandhausen 1-0 (0-0) and temporarily extended the lead over HSV to four points. Should Hamburg lose against SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the late game (8.30 p.m. / Sky), Heidenheim would be the second promoted team in the second division season. Table leaders SV Darmstadt 98 had already made their return to the Bundesliga perfect with a 1-0 win over 1. FC Magdeburg.
Due to the defeat, Sandhausen no longer has any theoretical chances of staying up and is the first relegated team in the second division season. Despite the 2-1 (1-1) away win at Eintracht Braunschweig, Jahn Regensburg is about to go into the third division. With one game to go before the end of the season, Regensburg is three points behind Arminia Bielefeld in relegation place 16 and also has a much worse goal difference. Bielefeld separated from SC Paderborn 2: 2 (2: 1).
