Stuttgart Preview – Can Stuttgart escape?
The equation is simple for Saturday’s hosts, Stuttgart – the hosts must win their final game of the season against Cologne and hope Hertha Berlin lose, if they’re to avoid the relegation play-off against a side from the Bundesliga 2 with a Bundesliga spot up for grabs.
With just two wins out of their last nine matches overall though, Stuttgart will do well to grab the three points here as the draw has dominated proceedings in recent times on home soil, as the hosts have been involved in no fewer than five stalemates in this period.
On a positive note, Stuttgart have lost just one of their last five home games.
Cologne Preview – Can Cologne make one final push?
Cologne also need the other Berlin side to lose (Union Berlin) and need to take all three points in this upcoming clash at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena against Stuttgart if they’re to have any chance of achieving a top six finish in this season’s Bundesliga.
Cologne had previously put together an impressive four-match winning streak in the German top flight thanks to wins against Mainz, M’gladbach, Arminia Bielefeld and Augsburg but defeat at home to Wolfsburg last weekend was a hammer blow to the visitors’ chances of possible European football next season, despite winning three of their last four away games.
