Stuttgart
Stuttgart finished 16th in the 1. Bundesliga and will have to fight for a place in next season’s Bundesliga in a play-off against a team from the 2. Bundesliga. They had every chance of avoiding such a scenario if they had beaten Hoffenheim at home in the last round, but instead ended up with a 1-1 draw. In Bundesliga 1, Stuttgart won five home games, drew six games, and lost six matches with a total difference of +1 (GF 23 – GA 22).
Hamburg
In the 2. Bundesliga, Hamburg finished third and will now try to get into the 1. Bundesliga through the play-offs. They were the best guest team in their division. In seventeen away matches, Tim Walter’s team won nine, drew three, and lost five. During that time, they scored 32 goals and conceded 25.
Prediction
Both teams do not have reliable defensive lines. At the same time, they both have good attacking potential. If you look at the previous matches between these teams, you will see that they often score goals against each other.
According to the bookmakers, Stuttgart is the favourite in this match, but Hamburg is not inferior to Stuttgart in any way and is capable of putting up a serious fight.
In our prediction for the Stuttgart vs Hamburger match, we focus on “both teams to score” with the option “yes”, and a coefficient of 1.68.
Probable result: both teams to score with the option “yes” and odds of 1.68.
