Augsburg disgraced when 1:5 in Freiburg, Hannover lost the home match 0:3 against Frankfurt. It is since weeks the same image. No club can settle, it is a snails race.

40 points are no longer necessary

And also Thomas Doll knew exactly what was to be the only Positive to the innocuous appearance of his Hanoverian: the results of the other relegation candidates. "The Good thing is that the other lose down there. Otherwise, the way would be nine or ten points," said Doll at the press conference after the game, "it's all still in there."

This Doll is right. Augsburg is located with 18 points on rank 15. Behind Stuttgart with 16 points on the relegation rank, Hannover (14 points) and Nuremberg (13 points) are at the very bottom. Each of the teams has a real chance to reach at least the Relegation to the classes. Secured Schalke with 23 points seems for the time being in 14th place.
