The second round of the Bundesliga 2 will open on Friday, August 9, 2024, with a match between Jahn Regensburg and Ulm. Both newcomers to the second German division started the new season with a defeat, so they will want to make amends after losing points in the first round. So let’s look at the prediction of this interesting football match.
Jahn Regensburg vs Ulm: What to Expect
Jahn Regensburg
At the start of the new season, “Die Jahnelf” faced a rather difficult opponent – Hannover 96, a team that almost missed out on promotion to the Bundesliga last season. The hosts came to the Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena field more confident, and therefore by the middle of the first half the scoreboard was 2:0 in favor of Hannover – Nicolò Tresoldi and Jannik Dehm scored.
“Die Rothosen” tried to respond, but if you look at the game, Hannover was closer to their third goal than the visitors were to their first goal of the new season.
Right winger Kai Pröger looked the brightest for the visitors, who, perhaps due to his extensive experience, tried to pull his teammates to the goal. In any case, the player proved that his summer transfer from Hansa Rostock was not a mistake.
It is quite difficult to judge anything before the Jahn Regensburg vs Ulm match by the “Die Jahnelf” game. Yes, the team is not yet ready to play on equal terms against more difficult opponents – it is not surprising because it is difficult to expect an equal fight with a team that is sometimes a division above you.
The Jahn Regensburg – Ulm match will reveal how ready the hosts are to fight in the new season.
SSV Ulm 1846
The team returned to the 2.Bundesliga for the first time since the 2000/2001 season, winning the 3. Liga at the first attempt. Thomas Wörle’s men were also very close to getting their first points in 23 years.
“Die Spatzen’s” first opponent was Kaiserslautern, who were very close to swapping places in the divisions with their future rival. If in the first half, the teams played on equal terms with a slight advantage of “Die roten Teufel”, then Ulm started the second half more than confidently – Felix Higl’s goal proved it. The hosts continued well and began to put pressure on the opponent, but from the middle of the second half, it became clear who played in the second division last season.

Toward the end of the game, Kaiserslautern began to seize the initiative, which resulted in a logical 1-1 in the 77th minute when Boris Tomiak equalized from the penalty spot. After the goal, “Die roten Teufel” players began to apply pressure, and 6 minutes later Ulm conceded a goal from Aaron Opoku – 1:2.
The return to the second division turned out a little differently than the fans expected, but the predictions for the match Jahn Regensburg vs SSV Ulm 1846 already look more positive.
