Stuttgart will make its return to the Bundesliga after a season of absence, despite its clear defeat at home (3-1) against Darmstadt on the 34th and last day of the German 2nd Division Championship on Sunday. The VfB, five times German champion, finished in 2nd place in the ranking (58 points) and will accompany in the elite Bielefeld, assured of his return to the 1st division, left in 2009, two weeks ago (68 pts). Former German international striker Mario Gomez, 34, scored Stuttgart’s lone goal, but the scorer passed through Bayern Munich and Fiorentina will no longer wear his club training jersey next season.
Heidenheim, club of the region of Stuttgart, snatched with the general surprise the 3rd place (55 pts), synonymous with barrage of accession against the 16th of Bundesliga, Werder Bremen. Heidenheim, who was still playing in the 5th division in 2008, however lost 3-0 to Bielefeld (55 pts), but Hamburg who could take advantage of a misstep, was humiliated at home (5-1) by Sandhausen. The HSV (4th, 54 pts) had never left the Bundesliga since the creation of the German Championship in 1963 until its relegation in 2018. It will therefore spend in 2020-21 at least a third season in the 2nd division.
