It's a bitter moment for many fans in the Jahnstadion. While the guest from Heidenheim is currently celebrating promotion to the Bundesliga as champions, the Regensburg team has to say goodbye to the 2nd Bundesliga. Relegation, 3rd league.

From matchday 10 onwards, the team from Bavaria are in a direct promotion spot and have held this spot for almost the entire season. Until matchday 37.

Isac Lidberg suffered a muscle injury in his thigh in the game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern (December 14th). The Swede suffered the injury while attempting a shot in the 12th minute and had to be substituted shortly afterwards. Lidberg is therefore out of the first competitive games of the second half of the season.
The SV Darmstadt 98 U21, which was only founded in the summer, is currently in its first winter break: with 35 points after 22 match days, the young Lilies wintered in a strong 6th place in the Lotto Hessenliga.
