Hamburger SV welcomes Hertha Berlin to the Volksparkstadion for this second leg promotion/relegation match. The hosts have a major advantage after winning the away leg 1-0 and all they need is a draw to gain promotion back into the Bundesliga for the first time since the 2017/18 season. Hamburger SV have been in great recent form as they have won their last five matches. They scraped into the promotion playoffs by winning their last six Bundesliga 2 matches and ended on the same number of points as fourth placed Darmstadt but progressed due to a better goal difference. Hamburger SV have been excellent at home and have only lost twice in the league season. In their last three home matches in Bundesliga 2 they have scored nine times while only conceding one goal.

Hertha Berlin have only themselves to blame if they get relegated as they missed the opportunity to win the first leg. In their last three matches of the Bundesliga they only managed to pick up one point as they finished the season on the same number of points as 15th placed Stuttgart but had they had the inferior goal difference. Hertha Berlin have failed to win any of their last four matches while they have only won three of their last 19 matches across all competitions. Their away record is just as poor, winning one of their last 12 matches on the road. Hertha Berlin will take some hope into this match as they won 2-1 on their last visit to the Volksparkstadion back in 2018.
