Automatic promotion and third place
With just six points separating the top six, nothing involving the top three teams can be settled on Matchday 31.
There is just one point between leaders Cologne and second-placed Hamburg, while there are just four between HSV and Magdeburg in third. Magdeburg themselves are just one point ahead of Elversberg, Paderborn and Fortuna Düsseldorf – it really is that tight!
