🔼 Up for good this time? Schalke seal Bundesliga return And there’s a party in Gelsenkirchen! Schalke 04 are back among the elite of German football.
They needed to beat Fortuna Düsseldorf this Saturday (2) to secure at least the second automatic promotion spot already in this 32nd round of the 2. Bundesliga. And they did just that with a 1-0 win in front of their fans at the Veltins Arena.
Now the focus is on the title League leaders Schalke moved up to 67 points thanks to a goal from captain Karaman just 14 minutes in. They can no longer be caught by current third-placed Hannover, who have 57 and still play this round. It’s worth remembering that only the top two go up automatically.
The third-placed side will face the team that finishes 16th in the Bundesliga in a playoff for a place in the top flight. Current runners-up Paderborn have 58 points as well, with 31 matches played. And they have a real final ahead of them this Sunday (3), as they travel to Elversberg, who are fourth in the table with 56 points.
