German 2. Bundesliga Predictions and Betting Tips

The 2. Bundesliga, known locally as Zweite Bundesliga, is the second-highest tier of football in Germany. The league ranks below the Bundesliga and above the 3. Liga. There are 18 teams in the league, which works on a traditional promotion and relegation system.

The fiercely competitive environment is ideal for sports bettors to make their bets. But, it is never simple to find the right markets. That is why bettingexpert offers anyone interested an opportunity to find a 2. Bundesliga prediction for free. Continue reading to find out how.

2. Bundesliga Fixtures

Throughout its long history, the Zweite Bundesliga had numerous changes in format and fixtures. The promotion and relegation also include playoff games where a third team has an opportunity to advance or remain in the league.

There are 18 clubs in the league. Each club gets to play the remaining teams two times, once at home and once away. With this round-robin format, there are a total of 34 rounds, for a sum of 306 games. This creates countless opportunities to make a 2. Bundesliga prediction. 

Moreover, there are also the playoffs. In the playoff round, the third-ranking team gets an opportunity to get promoted or remain in the league. The outcome is determined in a two-legged clash. The third-ranking 2. Bundesliga team faces the 16th team of the Bundesliga.

At the same time, the 16th ranked team of the 2. Bundesliga goes into an identical playoff situation. Namely, the bottom two teams of the table are directly relegated to the 3. Liga, while the 16th team faces the 3rd team from 3. Liga. The winner remains or advances into the higher league.
