Dusseldorf – Aue, after their important victories last weekend, both draw a tie to the final class. The direct descent has already hindered both teams and for Fortuna Düsseldorf it looks good on three points and the six-goal better goal difference against the TSV 1860 Munich on rank 16 also in matters of relegation. Erzgebirge Aue is also three points ahead of the lions, but has the clearly poorer goal difference. So that Aue is still slipping into the relegation, 1890 would also win Arminia Bielefeld and the 1. FC Kaiserslautern should not lose.

A 2-1 win at VfL Bochum on 23rdday and a 3-0 win at Karlsruher SC two weeks later caused a relief in the meantime, but between these victories was lost against Eintracht Braunschweig (1: 2) and after the Success in Karlsruhe remained the Fortuna seven times unbeatable with only three draws and four defeats.

Aue :
Erzgebirge Aue has had a hard time following the ascent in the first round and is only 13 points behind. A 2-1 win against 1. FC Heidenheim was a good start to the previous round, but only two points from the following four matches. Coach Pavel Dotchev returned to Dynamo Dresden, the last of these four games, after a 1: 4 lead, indirectly leading an upturn.

FC Nürnberg was then a first damper, but with four points from the home games against Hannover 96 (2: 2) and the Würzburger Kickers (3: 1) strongly answered. And also a 0: 3 at VfB Stuttgart did not throw Aue out of the way. Rather, the violets made a big step to the class with the 1-0 in the basement duel against 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
