Football – Hamburg – St. Pauli is aiming for direct promotion – Sport

Hamburg (dpa / lno) – The three northern teams of the 2nd Bundesliga have to compete again on Saturday. FC St. Pauli, third in the table, welcomes the immediate pursuer Darmstadt 98 (8.30 p.m. / Sky and Sport1), Hamburger SV is a guest at Jahn Regensburg and Holstein Kiel has home rights against 1. FC Heidenheim (both 1.30 p.m. / Sky).

While St. Pauli and, to a lesser extent, HSV are still striving for promotion to the Bundesliga, Kiel want to complete their stay in the 2nd division with a win. With a win, Holstein would jump over the 40 points that have always been enough.

St. Pauli could move up to second place with a win and thus take a direct promotion place again. HSV wants to reduce the gap to the leading trio. There are still four games of the season left.
