VfB Stuttgart will face Hamburger SV in the relegation play-off for the last Bundesliga starting place for the 2023/24 season. VfB keeper Fabian Bredlow is suffering from a torn medial ligament in his knee.

Dan-Axel Zagadou has overcome his foot pain and trained again for the first time on Tuesday. HSV coach Tim Walter had to do without Ludovit Reis (34th yellow card) and Bakery Jatta (yellow-red suspension) on Matchday 5. Laszlo Benes and Ransford Königsdörffer moved into the starting line-up for the two.
