Stuttgart and Hanover 96 will be back in the Bundesliga next season after sealing their promotion from the second division on Sunday.

Stuttgart's 4-1 thrashing of Wuerzberg confirmed them as second division champions, two points clear of Hanover, whose 1-1 draw at Sandhausen was enough to finish ahead of Eintracht Braunschweig.

Third-placed Braunschweig could still join them in Germany's top flight for the 2017/18 campaign.

Braunschweig face 2009 German champions Wolfsburg, who finished third from bottom in the Bundesliga, in a two-legged promotion/relegation play-off on May 25 and 29.
