VfB Stuttgart vs Hamburger SV 01.06.2023 Prediction: Bundesliga Qualification Final

Match Overview

VfB Stuttgart, who have been well known to reside in the top peripheries of the German 1. Bundesliga competition, will have to battle it out with Hamburger SV, who have come third in the 2. Bundesliga competition in the 1. Bundesliga Qualification final on Thursday. It is quite sad that Stuttgart find themselves in this position, given the sort of history that they have had in this division.

Key Highlights

There have been a total of 20 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which Stuttgart have won 11. Hamburger have been victorious on seven occasions while the rest of the two matches were played out as drawn encounters. When these two teams met last time around in the 2. Bundesliga in May 2020, Stuttgart had emerged victorious by a 3-2 scoreline. 

Injury Report

The home team will have to make do without the services of Thomas Kastaranas and Dan-Axel Zagadou for this game whereas Hamburger have a long list of injured players which includes the likes of Xavier Amaechi, Noah Katterbach and Andras Nemeth.

Prediction

Stuttgart appear to be the favourites to win this game but Hamburger cannot be ruled out entirely. They have done extremely well for themselves in the 2. Bundesliga this season and are aiming for qualification into the top tier by winning this game. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this match.
