Hertha BSC before mandatory victory: Regensburg on the abyss of the 2nd league!

Regensburg, Deutschland - Today, on January 30, 2025, there is a decisive game in the 2nd Bundesliga. Hertha BSC meets Jahn Regensburg, the current bottom of the table. The expectations are high because Hertha goes into the game as a clear favorite. The team has always won from the three previous second division duels against Regensburg and is aiming for another victory to underpin their ambitions for the ascent. Trainer Cristian Fiél emphasizes that despite the favorite role, the league is unpredictable.

Regensburg, on the other hand, fights for survival in the league. The latest 1: 5 defeat against Ulm has continued to cloud the mood. The SSV Jahn has only reached three victories this season and is faced with a terrifying goal difference of -35. Regensburg has been in last place since the sixth matchday and has only collected eight points in the first half of the season, which further tightens the situation. Joshua, a 26-year-old blogger, describes that the fan base has already completed the season, especially after the defeat against Ulm.

The struggle for relegation

The chances of Jahn Regensburg to prevent relegation are still mathematically, but are very low. In order not to get off, the team would have to win against Hertha, while Bielefeld loses at the same time and catch up with a 15-goal difference, which is extremely unlikely. A rescue could also depend on the license allocation for the 2nd league, which will be decided on June 7th. If Hertha BSC is denied the license, Regensburg could still get a chance.

If the descent should actually occur, this would be the third descent of the association within two decades, after 2004 and 2013. After the last descent, Regensburg fell into the regional league within two years, but managed to return to the 2nd division. In recent years, the Regensburgers had always secured the relegation in the 2nd league, but the sporting performance has decreased considerably.

preparations and change of player

coach Andreas Patz, who took over the helm in October, brings fresh hopes, but after a positive start with two wins, only four points from nine games followed. Despite the winter transfers that Joshua praises, including the new commitments Anssi Suhonen and Tim Huniener, the hoped -for effect failed to do.

For Hertha, there are also some injuries. Marius Gersbeck could stand in the goal, while Jonjoe Kenny could move back into the starting eleven after a failed transfer. Fabian Reese is planned as a joker. Despite the difficulties with the favorite role, the forecasts of experts are based on a victory for Hertha.

The coming weeks are crucial for SSV Jahn Regensburg. Questions about the future of the association and the city of Regensburg must be raised, in particular the analysis of errors this season and the effects of a potential descent. The basketball and football department are increasingly under pressure in terms of the possible consequences of a descent. Experts predict an exciting and nerve -wracking descent battle.
