The fight to finish second will have Stuttgart eyeing a win when they host Borussia Monchengladbach in the final Bundesliga round. Stuttgart start this game placed third while Monchengladbach are 13th, with a chance to finish one place higher. The hosts were never really going to challenge for the league title. However, for a side that had to stay up via the relegation playoff, this has been a massive season. They may still finish ahead of former champions Bayern Munich who currently occupy second spot. Stuttgart are sure to finish at least third, and their place in the Champions League next season is sealed. To them, there isn’t much to gain from this encounter but finishing the season with a bang. They warmed up well for it, with two straight wins, the most recent a 1-0 victory over Augsburg. After a three-game drought, Sehrou Guirassy returned to scoring ways with the only goal that delivered three points. Stuttgart are now on 70 points after 33 games, two points behind deposed champions Bayern Munich.

Borussia Monchengladbach’s place in the Bundesliga is safe for the coming season, thanks to their tally of 34 points thus far. They are four points above the relegation playoff zone, and coming here, they can rise to 12th. It is also possible they can drop two places down with a loss in this game. Two wins in their last three matches against Stuttgart will fill them with confidence coming here. In the reverse fixture in January, they thumped Stuttgart 3-1 at home. It was another of these teams’ high-scoring meetings, and also the eighth straight in which both scored. In terms of recent form though, Borussia Monchengladbach will come here as the underdogs. They failed to win any of their last five matches, each of the last three ending in draws. Most recently, Borussia Monchengladbach drew 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt. That marked the second straight game when they scored first but dropped points. With such, they’ve managed just one clean sheet in their last 13 matches in all competitions.
