FC Nurnberg to win promotion from the German Bundesliga 2 has drifted to 9/4 with BetTom, out from 6/4, as three of three bookmakers ease their odds.
The odds on FC Nurnberg to win promotion from the German Bundesliga 2 have drifted out to a best price of 9/4 with BetGoodWin, up from a previous price of 6/4, which is a strange look for a side who are sitting second in the table and winning games.
Three of three bookmakers have eased their odds on FC Nurnberg to win promotion from the German Bundesliga 2.
Hertha BSC are the runaway favourites at 1/50 with BetAhoy, with FC Nurnberg third-shortest at 9/4 with BetTom.
FC Nurnberg beat SV Darmstadt 98 2-0 on Saturday, with second-half goals from Piet Scobel and William Bøving.
Nurnberg sit second on the log with 24 points, behind unbeaten leaders Hertha BSC.
Nurnberg did their job on Saturday. Darmstadt left the Max-Morlock-Stadion beaten 2-0, with Piet Scobel and William Bøving both striking after the break. That result lifted the home side to second in the 2. Bundesliga table on 24 points. Look only at the pitch and very little explains a weaker price. A team winning at home and climbing the log is usually the one getting backed, not pushed out, and the way Nurnberg finished the job in the second half is exactly the kind of result that builds a promotion push.
So why the drift? No direct catalyst has been confirmed, and pinning it on one thing would be guesswork. What the weekend did confirm is that the top of this league is being run from Berlin. Hertha BSC beat Wolfsburg 2-1 at the Olympiastadion to keep their unbeaten start going, with Oluwaseun Adewumi and Deyovaisio Zeefuik on target after Cleiton's first-half red card for the visitors. Across the wider German Bundesliga 2 odds, Wolfsburg are still priced ahead of Nurnberg despite sitting below them in the table, and the bookies have eased on Nurnberg all the same. The market is clearly less convinced by Nurnberg's form than the standings are.

Who is favourite to win promotion from the German Bundesliga 2?
Hertha BSC are the favourites at 1/50 with BetGoodWin, and after going unbeaten through their opening 11 matches it is hard to argue with that. Behind them the market order runs Wolfsburg, then FC Nurnberg, then FC Kaiserslautern. That is where Nurnberg's supporters can feel a touch hard done by, because the bookies have them behind a Wolfsburg side they currently sit above on the log.
Hertha Bsc Berlin – 1/50 with BetGoodWin. Top of the table on 31 points and still unbeaten.
Wolfsburg – 3/10 with BetGoodWin. In the top four on 19 points, even after losing in Berlin with ten men.
FC Nurnberg – 9/4 with BetGoodWin. Second in the table on 24 points. Drifted out from 6/4 regardless.
FC Kaiserslautern – 5/1 with BetGoodWin. The longest price of the four selections quoted here.
Latest bookmaker offer
Can FC Nurnberg win promotion from the German Bundesliga 2?
They can, and at 9/4 with BetGoodWin the price now looks more generous than their league position deserves. That number carries an implied probability of under one in three for a side sitting second. The next test comes after the international break, when Nurnberg go on the road to face Heidenheim at the Voith-Arena on Friday 27 November 2026. Win there, keep the momentum from the Darmstadt result rolling, and this drift could quickly look like an overreaction. Slip up, and the bookies who eased their prices will feel justified. Our view is simple: the table is a better guide than this move, and the odds on FC Nurnberg have stretched far enough to deserve a second look.
