​Monday, June 5, at 9:45 p.m. at the Volksparkstadion stadium, the return matches in the first German league will be counted. Prima sport 2.

Hamburg will need a miracle to turn the tide in this match after Stuttgart won 3-0 at home in the first leg on June 1 (Mavropanos 1, Vanyoman 51, Girassi 54).

Six-time German champion Hamburg is playing in the second round in a row after losing to Hertha Berlin last year (1-0 away and 0-2 at home).

The Tim Wolter-coached side look destined to stay at least one more season in the 2. Bundesliga, where they landed in the summer of 2018 when the former 1983 European champions were relegated for the first time in their history.

Hamburg finished 3rd in the 2.Bundesliga with 66 points, just one point behind directly promoted Heidenheim and Darmstadt.

The Hanseatic League experienced real drama in the last match, winning 1-0 at already relegated Sandhausen, while Heidenheim came back from 0-2 to 3-2 at Regensburg, also mathematically relegated, the equalizer coming in the 90+3 minute and the winning goal at 90+9 minutes!

Stuttgart are feeling emotional even after 3-0 in the first leg, especially since they have already been relegated twice in the last seven years, and the barrier touched them only because Schalke lost in the last round at Leipzig.

Stuttgart are 16th in the Bundesliga with 33 points, one behind Augsburg and two behind Bochum, who they could overtake if they can beat Hoffenheim at home in their last game (was only 1-1).

Since 3 April 2023, the Swabians have been coached by Sebastian Haeness (son of former German international Dietre Haeness and nephew of the equally famous Uli Haeness), following the dismissal of Bruno Labbadia (who in turn took charge of four teams months earlier).

Stuttgart’s last game was in 2019, when they were relegated 2-2 at home and 0-0 away to Union Berlin (promoted directly just one year later, with the 2022-23 season their third in a row in the Bundesliga).

Apart from the first leg of the play-off, the last time the two teams met was in the 2019-2020 Bundesliga 2, with Stuttgart beating Hamburg 2-1 on the away leg and 3-2 in the second leg at home.

Superbet offers odds of 1.62 on the 1X prediction: a home win or a draw in 90 minutes of regular time for Hamburg vs Stuttgart.
