Full-time: Regensburg 2-1 Darmstadt
Regensburg secure a narrow victory against Darmstadt in an intense and hard-fought match. Regensburg defended well, withstood the pressure from the Lilies, and clinically took their chances: Pröger opened the scoring with a spectacular goal, and Ganaus added a second. Although Klefisch managed to pull one back, Regensburg defended passionately in the final seconds too see out the win.

Conclusion
That's it! Hannover and Hertha part ways goalless. After Hannover dominated the first half, the picture changed following Kunze's sending off, but the visitors couldn't capitalise on their chances either. Dárdai also saw a second yellow card shortly before the end.

Conclusion
Cologne are autumn champions! With another tight away victory (the fourth 1-0 away win in a row), they climb to the top. In an evenly matched game at the Betzenberg, Ljubicic's header is enough to win the match.

Cologne are leading deservedly and are on course for the autumn championship thanks to Ljubicic's goal! After a strong opening phase from Köln, Lautern took control of the match.

Kohfeldt must make changes
After Darmstadt had started with the same starting eleven four times in a row, coach Florian Kohfeldt has to make a change today: Luca Marseiler starts in place of the injured Isac Lidberg. It's Marseiler's first start in the starting lineup since the end of September (when the Lilies suffered their last defeat on matchday 7).
Unchanged Jahn
Regensburg starts with the same starting eleven that gave Karlsruhe a tough fight on the last matchday, but ultimately lost 2-4 despite leading twice.
Five changes for Lautern
After the 5-1 defeat in Darmstadt, five changes have been made. Elvedi, Gyamerah, Aremu, Wekesser and Mause are given the chance to start today.
A change for Köln
Finkgräfe replaces the injured Heintz in the starting lineup. He takes over the left side of defence, while Paqarada moves into the unfamiliar position of centre-back.
The Darmstadt line-up
Schuhen - López, Riedel, Vukotić, Nürnberger - Förster, Müller, Klefisch, Marseiler - Corredor, Hornby
This is how Regensburg lines up
Gebhardt - Ziegele, Bulic, Breunig - Pröger, Geipl (c), Viet, Hein - Kühlwetter, Hottmann - Huth
The starting eleven for Kaiserslautern
Krahl - Heuer, Elvedi, Sirch - Gyamerah, Aremu, Tomiak, Wekesser - Yokota, Hanslik - Mause
Chance for redemption
Hertha starts with the same starting eleven from the last matchday where they lost 2-1 against Münster. The Berliners had played a very decent first half, only to completely lose control after the break.
Three changes for Hannover
Compared to the 0-1 loss in Fürth, there are three changes in Hannover's starting lineup: Wdowik, Oudenne and Nielsen start in place of Neumann (not in the squad), Dehm and Voglsammer (bench).
This is how Hertha lines up
Ernst - Kenny, Leistner (c), Dárdai, Zeefuik - Klemens, Demme - Cuisance, Maza, Scherhant - Niederlechner
This is how Cologne lines up
Schwäbe - Thielmann, Hübers (c), Martel, Finkgräfe - Ljubicic, Huseinbašić - Maina, Kainz, Paqarada - Downs

That's that in Nuremberg! In was a tough watch at times and a set-piece provided the decisive moment. Nuremberg won deservedly but failed to settle the match earlier and had to endure some nervy moments. Braunschweig fought hard with ten men, but ultimately lacked a cutting edge. In this form, they'll struggle to avoid relegation.

Full-time: Elversberg 1-4 Schalke
Schalke win their away match against the league leaders after proving significantly more effective in the second half. The away victory is deserved, even by this margin. Elversberg looked set to hit back after scoring the equaliser, but the hosts lacked the cutting edge to capitalise.

Full time: Fortuna Düsseldorf 2-5 Magdeburg
Magdeburg stepped up their game significantly in the second half and blew the scoreline out to 5-2. Düsseldorf were considerably weakened by the red card and couldn't carry their strong performance from the first half through to the final whistle. Towards the end of the game, a number of supporters left the stands following reports that a car had been driven into a Christmas market in Magdeburg.

Sylla bags a brace!
Brilliant move from Schalke! The ball moves through the attack with one-touch passing, then it's played out to Gantenbein on the right. He whips in a dangerous cross and Sylla, in true striker fashion, flicks it on at the near post into the far corner!

Petkov makes a misplaced pass during build-up play, and the visitors immediately pounce. Karaman gets the ball on the left side of the penalty area, keeps his composure and plays a mid-height ball to Schallenberg, who only needs to get his head on it from close range to bury it!

A mistake in the build-up play proves costly. Rossmann wins the ball and plays it to Sobottka, who advances a few metres and then passes back to Rossmann. The left winger stays cool in front of Reimann and calmly slots it into the near corner. 2-1!

Schalke's goalkeeper Heekeren doesn't look good here. Sickinger takes a shot from the right side of the penalty area, but the shot isn't particularly well-placed. Heekeren tries to catch it, but the ball slips through his gloves and finds the back of the net!

...and it was not without danger! Krempicki has plenty of space centrally at the edge of the penalty area and takes a shot. Kastenmeier manages to save it but drops the ball, allowing Texeira to get the rebound - but the Fortuna keeper saves that one too, continuing his good form from last week's match against Schalke.

Double change
Magdeburg make two changes after the 1-1 draw against Paderborn. Connor Krempicki and Bryan Teixeira start in place of Loric and Burcu (both not in the squad). The former last started in late October, while for Teixeira, this is only his second start of the season, with his previous one coming in the goalless draw against Elversberg all the way back on Matchday 1.
Rossmann replaces Iyoha
Tim Rossmann gets another chance in the starting XI, replacing Emmanuel Iyoha, who is missing from the Fortuna squad for the first time this season. This is the only change following the 1-1 draw against Schalke.
One change for the hosts
Damar gets to start behind the forwards today. Last week, Schnellbacher, who is on the bench today, played in that position.

The stage is set

Andreas Patz on facing Darmstadt
"For me, Darmstadt are the team of the moment in the second division. They have the best attack and have scored five goals in some games. They have played a slightly frenzied manner but they have a lot of individual quality. Especially in attack, they have a lot of depth and a strong presence in the box, into which they play a lot of passes. They're quick to pounce on the second ball and their defence works in a very organised way to put pressure on the ball carrier."
Thomas Wörle on facing Münster
"Of course, we know that this is an important match for us away to Münster, because they're a direct competitor. Every match is important, but this one is perhaps a bit more crucial, because it's not just about three points as in every match, but about keeping the opponent within striking distance - and possibly overtaking them if we can clinch a victory."
Cristian Fiél on facing Hannover
"We want to end the year on a high note. To do that, we need to engage in duels and win them. We must take responsibility in our one-on-one battles. That will be our main focus against Hannover."
Markus Anfang on facing Cologne
"Cologne have developed a lot, and it will be a difficult task. Our fans are well-disposed towards us, which was really noticeable even after the defeat in Darmstadt. We want to produce the appropriate reaction and do better."
Stefan Leitl on facing Hertha
"A lot of quality is coming our way. But we also have the self-confidence and courage to say that we want to dominate this match. And that's how we're approaching it."
Florian Kohfeldt on facing Regensburg
"Three points in Regensburg would certainly be a nice Christmas present. But that will only work with 100 percent energy, attention and physical performance. I really don't sense any fatigue in the team. Neither physically nor mentally."
Gerhard Struber on facing Kaiserslautern
"We need to operate at our very best to be able to win at the Betzenbergstadion. Kaiserslautern have shown themselves to be very strong at home. It will be a big test for us. However, we know what it takes to get a win there."
Sascha Hildmann on facing Ulm
"Ulm have a very good structure and they're well organised. We will need to be very patient and must not lose our nerve. Ulm wait for you to make a mistake, and we mustn't offer them any chances. We need to prepare our attacks."
Lukas Kwasniok on facing Karlsruhe
"When we play against Karlsruhe, your heart beats a bit faster. These are always very special 90 minutes and will remain so. To have 31 points at the end of the first half of the season would be outstanding. If we don't manage it and stay at 28, I would be disappointed. I don't want to be presumptuous, but our form over the past few months suggests more than 'just' the 28 points."
Jan Siewert on facing Hamburg
"We're expecting another top match against HSV. Hamburg are a good team with a lot of offensive power. We will also have our chances to do something in Hamburg. We can never guarantee what the end result will be. But I expect us to lead the way again with our style, readiness and willingness until the end. This is the standard we set for ourselves."
Daniel Scherning on facing Nuremberg
"We need to be there for each other now - only we can free ourselves from this situation. We must be ready on Saturday and give everything to play a good match. Belief will be crucial. If there are negative experiences on the pitch, we have to find a way to manoeuvre ourselves out of the situation as a team."
Daniel Thioune on facing Magdeburg
"Psychologically, it feels good to win a football match first of all, because nothing replaces victories. We desperately want to win football matches because it feels incredibly good. This will be a challenge for us against the best away team in the league. You can see that Christian Titz has been given the opportunity to work for many, many years and has developed the team well."
Miroslav Klose on facing Braunschweig
"We want to give the fans back a sense of trust; that's our goal. Braunschweig can hurt any opponent. But we need to focus on ourselves. If we bring our strengths to bear and keep our focus, then we will be in a good position."
Christian Eichner on facing Paderborn
"If we want to keep up with the teams at the top, we need to keep improving. The victory last Friday did us good, the mood was more relaxed. Anyone who follows Bundesliga 2 won't be surprised that Paderborn are at least back in this larger group that has formed at the moment."
Merlin Polzin on facing Fürth
"We want to send the fans into the winter break with a good feeling and we will give everything to complete the match with a good performance. We want to show the potential that lies within the team."
Horst Steffen on facing Schalke
"It will be an exciting game. Of course, we want it to be a nice farewell to the year - we want to play a good match in front of our home crowd and in a great atmosphere to keep the points at home. We're facing a very good opponent. Schalke are currently working very hard. They have good routines both in defence and attack, with plenty of pace in their game."
Christian Titz on facing Fortuna
"We are aware of the difficulty of the task. We know that in Düsseldorf we are facing a team that is very efficient. They are a defensively stable and disciplined side. This has been their hallmark since the beginning of the season. They have a mix of quick counter-attacking play and clean build-up play."
Kees van Wonderen on facing Elversberg
"We want to continue on the current path and finish the year with a win. We've worked well this week and can take the confidence with us to Elversberg. Elversberg don't have such great resources, yet they're top of the table. Their team wants to play football and has creative players. They don't panic when they lose a match, and they've won four of their last five games."
