Hamburger SV finished third from bottom in the Bundesliga this season, while VfB Stuttgart finished third in the second division. The two teams met in the first leg of the playoffs on May 24th, with Stuttgart coming out on top with a 2-1 victory. This means that Hamburger SV will need to win by at least two goals in the second leg to secure their place in the Bundesliga for next season.

However, it’s worth noting that VfB Stuttgart have been in excellent form recently, winning six of their last seven matches. They also have a strong record against Hamburger SV, winning three of their last four meetings. This could give them the confidence they need to secure their place in the Bundesliga for next season.
On the other hand, Hamburger SV will be desperate to avoid relegation for the first time in their history. They have a strong home record, winning six of their last eight matches at the Volksparkstadion. They will also be boosted by the return of striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga, who missed the first leg due to injury.
Taking all of this into account, it’s difficult to predict which team will come out on top in the second leg of the Bundesliga Relegation Playoffs. However, based on their recent form and their strong record against Hamburger SV, VfB Stuttgart could be the team to watch. That being said, Hamburger SV will be fighting tooth and nail to secure their place in the Bundesliga, so it’s sure to be an exciting and closely contested match.
