Hamburg will entertain Stuttgart at the Volksparkstadion in the second leg of the Bundesliga playoffs on Monday.
The first leg in Stuttgart last week ended in a 3-0 win for the visitors. Konstantinos Mavropanos, Josha Vagnoman, and Serhou Guirassy were on the scoresheet while Hamburg saw Anssi Suhonen sent off in the 69th minute. It was the biggest win in the first leg of the playoffs since 2009.
The hosts have not been able to return to the Bundesliga since their first-ever relegation from the top flight in 2018 and now find themselves three goals down on aggregate. As they are unbeaten at home in all competitions since November, they'll look to produce a remarkable comeback.
Only three teams from 2. Bundesliga have won promotion to the top flight since the playoffs were re-established in 2008.
