Hamburger SV form and stats

Hamburger SV, who have the most scored goals (22) in 2. Bundesliga, have collected 13 points from their 2. Bundesliga home games so far after 4-1-0. Hamburger SV has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Volksparkstadion. We remember; it was Darmstadt 98.

Hamburger SV drew their last game, 1-1 away at Arminia Bielefeld (placed 3rd). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Greuther Furth in a game that was won 2-0.

Hamburger SV's goalie Daniel Fernandes played a big part in securing one point against Arminia Bielefeld with a stunning 6 saves.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hamburger SV have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Hamburger SV, as the DFB Pokal home game vs Stuttgart is only three days away.

Hamburger SV can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 11 times. Hamburger SV have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

Stuttgart form and stats

The visitors are W2-D2-L0 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Bundesliga. Momentum is building for Stuttgart in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

The manager T. Walter was unhappy after their last game, a 2. Bundesliga match played at their home ground Volksparkstadion. Stuttgart suffered a 0-1 loss to Holstein Kiel (placed 14th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Wehen Wiesbaden.

Stuttgart are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of five matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Stuttgart manager T. Walter as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Hamburger SV.

The travelling fans enjoy Stuttgart's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. Stuttgart have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Hamburger SV, 2 draws and 5 wins for Stuttgart. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
