Darmstadt – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Lilies” were again, as it was the case in almost all previous attempts, relegated from the Bundesliga in the previous cycle. There was no chance for something better – they finished in the last, 18th place.
Despite the higher mentioned fact, Torsten Lieberknecht retained his position. And the specialist is preparing his wards for the new cycle. They tried to strengthen the squad, albeit by signing free agents or a number of loans.
Fortuna Düsseldorf – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Red and Whites” were able to hold out in the Bundesliga for a couple of years in a row after their previous promotion. Still, firstly, they were relegated anyway. Secondly, then they spent 4 years in a lower division.
And only 2023/2024 gave an opportunity to climb to 3rd place. That achievement secured the right to participate in the play-offs. Having won the away battle against Bochum with a 3-0 result, the team then lost with the same score on the native field, after which the club lost in a penalty shoot-out.
