Relegated at the end of the play-offs during the 2018-2019 season, Stuttgart did not lag in the 2nd division. Indeed, the former club of Benjamin Pavard finished in 2nd place in the standings, with all the same 10 lengths behind the leader, Arminia Bielefeld. Beaten by Liverpool in preparation (3-0), the Souaves then built up confidence by winning in front of Hamburg (3-2), Arminia Bielefeld (2-0), and Strasbourg (4-2). Last week, they got the job done by winning against modest club Hansa Rostock (0-1) in the German Cup.
For its part, Friborg missed a great opportunity to offer itself a place in Europe last year. In the long shot to try to grab a ticket for the Europa League, Christian Streich’s men finally finished in 8th place in the standings, a small point behind the last qualifier. Beaten only once in preparation for two draws and two wins, they won their qualification for the 2nd round of the German Cup by winning in front of Waldhof Mannheim (1-2) last weekend.
