Matchday 32 of the 2nd Bundesliga: All important information

FC Schalke 04 – FC St. Pauli

The current top game of the 2nd league will take place on Saturday at 20:30 in the Veltins Arena. This is where the two traditional clubs Schalke 04 and FC St. Pauli meet. It’s about nothing less than ascension.

FC Schalke 04 is in 1st place in the table with 59 points and thus 2 points ahead of 3rd place, 4th place is already 5 points behind. This is especially due to the strong form with 4 wins from 5 games. This was only clouded by a bitter 1:4 against Werder Bremen on Matchday 31. Nevertheless, if you continue to play like this, you will be promoted to the 1st league again. You have the best offense in the league and the 3rd strongest defense. The only duel between the two clubs in the 2nd league – in the first round – ended 2:1 for the Kiezkicker. The hosts are missing only Lee injured for this important game. Nevertheless, due to this strong constitution, there is much to be said for Schalke.

Five points behind leaders Schalke, FC St. Pauli is in 5th place with 54 points – level on points with HSV. After too many slip-ups, the gap to 3rd place has grown to 3 points. This promises a lot of excitement for the last two match days. But the form is not right. The otherwise so home-strong FC St. Pauli won none of its last 5 games and brought out 3 times only a 1:1. It is already the fourth top game within a very short time for the guests. If you want to ascend, something has to happen. With Amenyido, Avevor, Becker, Burgstaller, Daschner, Dittgen, Dzwigala, Lawrence, Ohlsson, Ritzka, Smith, Vasij, Wieckhoff and Ziereis, a lot of players are missing for the duel.

While the first leg still went to the Kiezkicker, this time the situation is reversed. So there is much to be said for a victory of the hosts, who give the bookmakers a victory rate of 1.45. Guests are around 5.50. Both teams have good offensive qualities, but are still vulnerable defensively, which means that this can be well combined with the bet “over 2.5 goals”. There is a 1.90 odds for this.

Fortuna Düsseldorf – SV Darmstadt

And the next top game afterwards: Fortuna Düsseldorf meets SV Darmstadt 98. On Friday at 18:30 kicks off in the Merkur-Spiel Arena in Düsseldorf. The game is an important cornerstone for the last matchday, around the fight in the promotion race.

Daniel Thioune was able to lead Fortuna Düsseldorf out of the relegation battle and is now in 10th place with 41 points. In the last 7 games they scored 12 goals and won 2 of them, but did not lose either. They are the team with the longest streak of non-lost games, 11 games now since the last defeat in February against Holstein Kiel. Nevertheless, for the hosts it is about nothing more than to say goodbye to the season well. In addition, all places between 8 and 15 can be reached mathematically. De Fijs, Narey and Prib are missing.

SV Darmstadt is in 2nd place in the table with 57 points and thus has a real chance of promotion. Two points behind the leader from Gelsenkirchen and 3 points ahead of 4th place (HSV). Should Darmstadt win this game, they have taken a big step towards promotion and thus at least the relegation secured. The shape confirms this. Last week they celebrated fireworks against Aue with 6:0. The top match against FC St. Pauli was also won 2-1. Overall, they recently scored 9 out of 15 points. The first leg, however, they lost 1:3 at home against the Dusseldorf. Celic, Schnellhardt and Seydel are missing for the game against Düsseldorf.

Although the matter seems to be a clear matter in tabular terms, a prediction is risky due to the strong form of the Düsseldorfers. Düsseldorf has a winning rate of 3.20, the guests a 2.05. Due to the frequent number of draws of Düsseldorf (11 pieces – league top), the 3.60 odds for a draw are also tempting.
