With only a couple of rounds remaining until the mid-season winter-break, it is Matchday 17 this weekend in the 2.Bundesliga campaign. St. Pauli has opened up a 6-point lead at the top of the standings with Darmstadt staying in 2nd place with 29 points. Jahn Regensburg is a point behind in 3rd spot with Paderborn, Nürnberg and Heidenheim locked together on 27 points to comprise the top-6 positions.



FC Schalke 04 v FC Nürnberg


ZodiacBet Sportsbook Football Odds
Schalke: 2.00
Draw: 3.35
Nürnberg: 3.70
Schalke is currently in 8th spot yet only 1 point off the top-4 after falling to 3 defeats in the previous 5 league-matches. Nürnberg has taken 4 wins from the past 7 fixtures to keep hold of 5th position in the league-table.
For our 2.Bundesliga betting-experts, the 1.80 line on Both Teams to Score presents a good betting option. Schalke has scored in each home-game this season but it has kept just 2 clean-sheets in 8 matches at the Veltins Arena. Nürnberg has no clean-sheets in the last 5 league-fixtures but has scored at least 1 goal in 5 of its 7 away-matches so far.
Taking the 2.10 offer on Over 1.5 Goals for the home-side also looks a good bet here. Schalke has scored 2 or more goals in 5 of the last 6 home-games. On the other hand, Nürnberg has let in more than a single goal in 4 of its 7 league-matches on the road.

SSV Jahn Regensburg v SV Werder Bremen


ZodiacBet Sportsbook Football Odds
Regensburg: 3.10
Draw: 3.60
Bremen: 2.15
Despite being in 3rd spot, Jahn Regensburg is the underdog in this clash having taken just 3 points from the last 4 fixtures. Bremen is on the fringe of the top-half in 9th spot despite taking just 1 defeat in the last 9 matches.
To our 2.Bundesliga betting-team, taking the Double Chance on a home-win or draw at 1.66 odds looks a safe punt. In spite of its poor form, Regensburg has suffered only 1 loss in the 8 home-games till now. Meanwhile has picked up 3 wins from 8 on the road but has also suffered 3 defeats in the previous 5 away-matches as well.
The 2.40 offer on Over 1.5 Goals for the home-side seems an outstanding bet for this match. Regensburg has managed to score 2 or more goals in all 8 home-fixtures in the 2.Bundesliga this season. Werder Bremen has let in 11 goals without keeping a single clean-sheet in the past 5 away-games.

SC Paderborn 07 v SV Darmstadt 98
ZodiacBet Sportsbook Football Odds
Paderborn: 2.55
Draw: 3.60
Darmstadt: 2.55
Even though it holds a top-4 spot, Paderborn has dropped 8 points behind the league-leaders after failing to win its last 3 matches. Darmstadt suffered a precious defeat last week which put an end to its 7-match unbeaten-run.
Backing the away-team to Win Either Half at a price of 1.75 is the advice of our 2.Bundesliga betting-experts. Home-form has been quite mediocre for Paderborn with the club collecting only 5 points out of the past 6 games that also contains 3 defeats. Darmstadt is undefeated through the past 5 away-matches with 3 victories and 13 goals scored during this period.
The 2.05 line on Over 1.5 Goals for the away-team also looks an attractive bet in this clash. Despite owning the 3rd best defensive-record in the division Paderborn is yet to keep a clean-sheet at home. In contrast, Darmstadt has scored at least 2 goals in 3 of its previous 4 matches on the road.

TuS Fortuna Düsseldorf v FC St. Pauli


ZodiacBet Sportsbook Football Odds
Düsseldorf: 2.75
Draw: 3.40
St. Pauli: 2.40
Fortuna Düsseldorf earned a surprise-win at Darmstadt that propelled the club on to 11th spot in 2.Bundesliga. St. Pauli bagged 3 straight wins to take command of top-spot with the midway-point of the season fast approaching.
According to our 2.Bundesliga team, the hefty 2.65 offer on the away-side for the 2nd Half Result is an excellent bargain. Düsseldorf has given away at least 1 goal during the latter period in 6 of its 7 home-games this season. On the other hand, St. Pauli has scored 7 times in the last 45 minutes of its previous 5 league-fixtures on the road.
Over 1.5 Goal for the away-side at 2.05 – that’s another betting-line we would recommend for this encounter. Düsseldorf is yet to earn a clean-sheet at home in its 7 matches of this league-campaign. St. Pauli has picked up 10 points from the last 5 away-games scoring 11 goals in the process.
