Safety

Going into the penultimate weekend, all teams from 13th down were still in danger. However, results on Matchday 33 have made the picture much clearer as Magdeburg (13th), Eintracht Braunschweig (14th) and Kaiserslautern (15) all secured survival and another season in Bundesliga 2.

Relegation

Osnabrück's Matchday 32 fixture against Schalke was postponed until the following Tuesday, with defeat meaning an immediate return to the 3. Liga a year after their promotion. They are six points adrift at the bottom and will finish in 18th place.

It is now a straight fight between Hansa Rostock in 17th (31 pts, -26 GD) and Wehen Wiesbaden in 16th (32 pts, -13 GD) as to who will go down automatically and who will have one more chance at salvation in the play-off against the team that comes third in 3. Liga (either Preußen Münster or Jahn Regensburg).

Rostock will climb to 16th if:

They win at home to Paderborn and Wiesbaden fail to beat St. Pauli
They draw and Wiesbaden lose by a margin that sees a 13-goal swing in Hansa's favour

Wiesbaden will hang onto the play-off spot if:

They equal or better Rostock's result
They lose and Rostock draw, without the defeat causing a 13-goal swing in goal difference
