Stuttgart hosts Hannover in round 1 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, July 26th at Mercedes-Benz Arena (Stuttgart)
In the last season, Stuttgart had a chance for salvation, but it lost to Union Berlin in the relegation playoffs. No, the club did not lose literally. Both matches were tied. However, the away match ended with a 0:0 score, but Stuttgart managed to concede twice at home - 2:2. Actually, the results of those playoffs characterize the team in the best way. The club has changed a coach. Tim Walter, who previously trained Holstein, representing Bundesliga 2, replaced Niko Willig. How equivalent is the replacement, and how will Walter bring Stuttgart back to the elite? There are more questions than answers. At the preparation stage, the team played seven friendly games. It won five matches and lost two times.

Hannover even lost a chance to stay in the elite, having relegated to Bundesliga 2 directly. Mirko Slomka, who has already managed the team and was expelled for negative indicators, is a head coach now. It is another very controversial replacement. However, Slomka approached the preparation with special care. Hannover played ten (!) friendly game before the start of the season. Truth be told, all opponents were Germans. Hannover lost 2 times, one game was tied, and seven confrontations ended in victory.
Approximately equal conditions before the beginning of the season promise us a scoring match. The rivalry between the clubs will be very cruel, but as it usually happens in such games, the factor of the home field can be decisive in determining the winner. Nevertheless, I offer to bet on the exchange of goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
