Second Bundesliga: Third relegation for Holstein Kiel after 2015 and 2018
Sandhausen (15th) held the class again in the 2nd division - despite the defeat in Bochum. VfL was relegated from the Bundesliga * in 2010 and has missed the return every time since then. In 2014, being 15th in the table, there was even a threat of relegation to the third division. For Greuther Fürth, the surprise team of this season, it was the second promotion since 2012. The Franks had to tremble for a long time, having only scored seven points from the last four games of the season.
For Holstein Kiel it is the third participation in a promotion relegation after 2015 (against TSV 1860 Munich *) and 2018 (against VfL Wolfsburg). The North Germans lost the first two times. So far there has not been a team from Schleswig-Holstein in the 1st Bundesliga *. Will that change anytime soon?
