  1. Head to head

    These two sides have met 11 times in all competitions, and only one of those matches have ended in a draw, back in 2020 in 2. Bundesliga. This match is often tightly contested, with one goal being the difference between the two.

    Stuttgart have won nine of the 11 matches, but the match has been more balanced over recent years, with the two sides both winning away from home in the Bundesliga last season.

    The Hamburg side pulled off an amazing comeback against Giants Borussia Dortmund in game week one, and have since won their two following matches, including a 2-0 win in the Hamburg derby and coming back from 1-0 down to beat Augsburg 2-1 last time out.
