Fortuna Dusseldorf – the shape of the team and its analysis: it has been possible to show a convincing season in recent months
“The Red and Whites” were a little unlucky. They advanced in the cup tournament to the semi-finals, but there their opponent was Bayer, and, of course, they lost to the No. 1 team in the top division. Still, this was the only defeat in recent months – the 2. Bundesliga ended with a long unbeaten streak. Still, the club finished only in 3rd place, without a chance of moving up one step higher. The away match brought a big 3-0 victory.
Bochum – the shape of the team and its analysis: it is its own fault that the club will have to go through the play-offs
“The Undescendables” spent the entire previous decade in the second division of the country. Still, they, having risen higher, took enough points, at least twice, to remain in the Bundesliga 1. And it seemed that, having taken victories over Hoffenheim and Union Berlin under the leadership of a new coach, Heiko Bucher, the team no longer risked relegation. It seems that the players also believed – they lost heavily to both Bayer and Werder. As a result, Union, having won the battle against Freiburg in the previous round, received the coveted 15th place (with equal points, due to additional indicators). And the club scored a fatal own goal at the home arena in the first play-off match in the first half. As a result, 2 more conceded ones were added.
