The 2. Bundesliga title race has emerged as one of the most exciting competitions in European football, as just six points separate the top six teams with 13 matches remaining. Current leaders Koln, fresh from relegation last season, face stiff competition from Hamburg and Kaiserslautern, each with rich histories in German football. Kaiserslautern's recent resurgence after financial struggles showcases the unpredictability of this league, where seven teams have led this season, and many matches result in draws. The dynamics reflect the depth of talent and competition in the 2. Bundesliga, making every game impactful for promotion hopes.
"It's chaos," says German football journalist Mark Lovell, when asked to describe the 2. Bundesliga title race this season - and he is right.
Just six points separate the top six after 21 matches, with 10 points between the top 10 in the 18-team league.
Kaiserslautern has a population of just under 100,000. ... they have a stadium of almost 50,000. They believe that their place is up at the top level in the Bundesliga.
The battle for the two automatic promotion places ... in the German second tier is the most engrossing race in European football this season.
