The first quarter of the German second division championship is over, and it's the ideal time to change coaches. Or at least make some changes to have a good season.

Like its big brother, where you can make bets on the Bundesliga, in 2. Bundesliga there are only 18 teams and the top two at the end of the season get automatic promotion to the Bundesliga, plus a third, the winner of the play-offs.

With three tickets for promotion, three more for descent and a league with few teams, most teams are concerned with promotion or relegation in the next season between the Bundesliga and 3 Bundesliga.

This makes the matches more exciting to bet on.

Highly competitive league

After less than ten games in the 2. Bundesliga this season, there is only one unbeaten team left. This is proof of a highly competitive league for bettors.

If you have an opportunity to bet on German soccer, the 2. Bundesliga is a great place to start. The league offers competitive soccer and is often where great players and managers develop into top talents.

Recommended Bets on the 2. Bundesliga

A very popular football league, the 2. Bundesliga's average attendance this season is over 11,000 spectators. Keeping in mind COVID restrictions, this is still a pretty large amount of people. The Bundesliga is one of the most popular second division leagues in the world, along with the Football League Championship in England.

However, despite the public support, the results are balanced as there have been as many home and away wins this season — even though the teams have scored more with an average of 1.46 goals per game.

The 2.5+ goal betting option should also be considered when betting on the 2. Bundesliga, as the vast majority of teams take an attacking approach in league matches. Since the 2021/22 season's start, 64% of games have had more than 2.5 goals, or two out of every three games on average.

Favourites for the top flight

Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen, who came down from the Bundesliga last season, are the two favourites to win the 2. Bundesliga championship. Currently, both teams are in the top half of the table, but they are not at the top of the league table. Bet on the winner of the 2. Bundesliga for the season 2021/22.

Schalke can count on Simon Terodde, a top striker averaging more than a goal per game.

On the other hand, Werder is the team with the highest market value in the league, including central defender Marco Friedl.
