Already, last week we saw some interesting matches, for example when Fortuna Dusseldorf played Hamburger SV and defeated them 2-0. Furthermore, there was the match of Holstein Kiel vs. Karlsruher SC. Here, Holstein Kiel was the winner, defeating Karlsruher SC 1-0. Yet another very watchable match was the 2-0 victory of FC St. Pauli over Hertha BSC. Here, on Oddspedia, we provide you with a detailed overview and statistics of the upcoming 2. Bundesliga matchday in Germany– detailed statistics forall the games on the fixtures, the teams and their performance.
Which are the matches to look out for
Probably the most anticipated match will be 1 FC Nuremberg vs FC St. Pauli on 03/16/2024 at 12:00. FC St. Pauli has the upper hand in this match, since they are currently on the first place in the table. However, they still want to make sure to keep their rank. Both teams won their last match (1 FC Nuremberg won against 1. FC Magdeburg and Hertha BSC was beaten by FC St. Pauli), so it will be exciting to see which one of them will play better in their upcoming clash. A look at their recent performance might shed some light on that question:1 FC Nuremberg's success was quite mixed: They achieved two victories and lost 1 of their last five games. FC St. Pauli, on the other hand, were the winner in 3 of their last 5 matches.
Another match fans are looking forward to takes place on 03/16/2024 at 12:00. Here, SV 07 Elversberg (currently in 10th place) will face Holstein Kiel (2nd place). They both could overthrow their opponent in their last match (Holstein Kiel played against Karlsruher SC and SV 07 Elversberg won against Greuther Furth), so they will both be motivated to continue their winning streak. Looking at the teams' performance in their last matches can also be an indicator about their current form: SV 07 Elversberg had quite a mixed performance lately. They won 2 and lost 2 of their last five games, making their performance in the upcoming match harder to guess. Holstein Kiel on the other hand was victorious in most of their latest games, so their chances to win might be a bit bigger.
People are also excited to see Hamburger SV fight against SV Wehen Wiesbaden. They currently are in 3rd place and 13th place, making their match interesting to watch. Both will have to step up their game and show their fans what they're made of, since none of them won their last match. You can also look at their recent performance to get an idea of their chances in the upcoming match: Winning 1 and losing 2 of their last five games, SV Wehen Wiesbaden had quite a mixed run lately, on which they will hopefully improve.

2023/24 2. Bundesliga Standings
FC St. Pauli are currently leading the table with 51 points and a goal differencial of 21 (46 scored and 25 received). So far, they have won 14 out of their 25 matches–and since they're leading by 5 points they don't have to worry too much about losing. Holstein Kiel (10/46pts), however, could use their match against SV 07 Elversberg (10/35pts), to narrow the gap to the leader. In any case, players will give their best to help their team win. But not only the top of the table has some interesting matches to offer–teams in the lower half also have to fight hard to stay in their league and not finish the season in last place. At the bottom of the table, VfL 1899 Osnabruck (18/18pts) are fighting for their stay in the 2. Bundesliga. With only 18 points they're currently at the last place within the league. If they fight hard, VfL 1899 Osnabruck could actually stay in the league, since they're only 10 points behind 1 FC Kaiserslautern (15/28pts), who are in need of points to not face relegation.
The biggest positive change in position, compared to the last matchday, has been made by Fortuna Dusseldorf (7/38 points), who moved up two positions and are now in seventh place in the league. On the other side, Greuther Furth (4/40 points) made the biggest loss in positions, losing a total of three ranks.
