The 2.Bundesliga season is nearing the half-way point with Matchday 16 coming up this weekend. St. Pauli has retaken top-spot after moving on to 32 points with a 3-point lead over 2nd placed Darmstadt. Jahn Regensburg climbed up to 3rd position with Paderborn dropping down into 4th place. At the other end, Hannover joined Sandhausen and Ingolstadt in the bottom-3 of the league-table.
SV Darmstadt 98 v TuS Fortuna Düsseldorf
ZodiacBet Football Betting Odds
Darmstadt: 1.95
Draw: 3.70
Düsseldorf: 3.50
In the past couple of months, Darmstadt has emerged as a strong contender for the 2.Bundesliga title with a 7-game unbeaten-run. Fortuna Düsseldorf lies just 2 points above the drop-zone after failing to win any of its previous 4 league-fixtures.
According to our betting experts, the 2.50 line on the home-team for the 1st Half Result presents a glorious opportunity. Darmstadt has scored a goal during the opening period without conceding in each of its past 6 home-games. On the other hand, Fortuna has failed to get a 1st half goal in 6 of its 8 away-matches.
The 1.95 offer on Darmstadt for the Match Result is an attractive bargain as well. Home-form has been critical in its rise to the top-end of the standings and it currently has a 6-match winning-streak. Düsseldorf are in a rut for the past couple of months with 4 defeats in the past 7 matches.

SV Sandhausen v SC Paderborn 07
ZodiacBet Football Betting Odds
Sandhausen: 3.75
Draw: 3.70
Paderborn: 1.90
After falling to 3 successive defeats, Sandhausen is currently 2 points from safety in the bottom-end of the 2.Bundesliga standings. In the meantime, Paderborn had dropped down to 4th spot after picking up just 2 wins out of the last 6 league-matches.
Our betting tips experts would strongly suggest the 1.90 line on the away-side for the Match Result. Sandhausen has the worst home-record in the division, taking only 2 points from its 7 matches at BWT-Stadion. Paderborn has stayed unbeaten on the road thus far to own the best away-record in the 2.Bundesliga with 6 victories from 8 fixtures.
Having some stake on Over 1.5 Goals for away-team at betting odds of 1.72 is another recommendation. Sandhausen is conceding more than 2.5 goals per home-game at the moment. Moreover, Paderborn has scored 3 or more goals in 6 of its 8 league-matches on the road this season.

FC St. Pauli v FC Schalke 04
ZodiacBet Football Betting Odds
St. Pauli: 2.15
Draw: 3.50
Schalke: 3.15
St. Pauli picked up a couple of vital wins over the past week to reclaim pole-position in the 2.Bundesliga following a minor blip last month. Meanwhile, Schalke earned a much-needed victory to stay in the top-6 with a 6-point deficit to the league-leaders.
For our 2.Bundesliga team, the 2.15 offer on Under 2.5 Total Goals seems a decent bet for this football match. St. Pauli has only let in only 4 goals at home so far and it might not score many in this clash despite averaging over 3 goals on home-turf. Schalke holds the joint-best defensive-record on the road but has scored just 9 goals in 7 away-games this season.
As a safer measure, the 1.60 line on the home-team to Win Either Half is advisable. St. Pauli has managed to do so in every home-game this season having scored at least 2 goals on each occasion. In contrast, Schalke has only scored 2 goals in its previous 5 away-matches.
2.Bundesliga Extra Betting Tips
1st Half Score: St. Pauli 1-0 Schalke (4.20)
Win Both Halves: St. Pauli (6.50)
2.Bundesliga Prediction
St. Pauli 2-0 Schalke (11.0)
FC Heidenheim v SSV Jahn Regensburg
ZodiacBet Football Betting Odds
Heidenheim: 2.20
Draw: 3.45
Regensburg: 3.15
With 3 victories from its past 4 matches, FC Heidenheim goes into this clash between two south-German sides on a good run of form. Jahn Regensburg earned a crucial win last week after going down to successive defeats to get back up to 3rd spot in the 2.Bundesliga standings.
Our 2.Bundesliga team is inclined to take the generous 2.10 price on the away-side for the 1st Half Draw No Bet line. Regensburg has scored a goal within the first 45 minutes in 6 of its 7 away-matches this season. At the same time, Heidenheim has scored just 4 times during the opening period of its 8 matches thus far.
We also would be keen on opting for the decent 1.65 offer on Both Teams to Score. While Heidenheim has bagged 4 wins from its past 5 home-games, it has only kept 1 clean-sheet in this period. Besides, Jahn Regensburg has failed to get a goal in just 1 away-fixture this season.
