GERMANY
Stuttgart has a handy 3-0 lead from the first leg of its Bundesliga promotion-relegation playoff against Hamburger SV but the second leg is being played in Hamburg’s 57,000-capacity stadium in front of a passionate crowd.

Hamburg played every season since the Bundesliga’s foundation until relegation to the second division in 2018 and hasn’t been back since.
