So the new season starts very soon with Stuttgart facing off against Hannover on the 26th July.

This season should be more unpredictable than last season. Last season Köln and Hamburg were expected to be 1 and 2 with Union Berlin in 3rd. Hamburg finished in 4th with Paderborn promoted in 2nd.

This forthcoming season though there is Stuttgart, Hannover, Hamburg and Nürnberg challenging for promotion with Heidenheim, Holstein Kiel with Andre Schubert in charge, St Pauli and Darmstadt all hoping to challenge as well.

My prediction, which I got massively wrong last season, is:

1) Hamburg
2) Stuttgart
3) Nürnberg
4) Hannover
5) Darmstadt
6) St Pauli
