Hamburg have turned their season around with back-to-back wins, but they host a Stuttgart side that thrashed them 4-0 when the pair last met.
Anthony Eadson’s Hamburg vs Stuttgart predictions, best bets and score prediction are below, with the Bundesliga game at the Volksparkstadion starting at 2.30pm (UK time).
Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips feature for a game that should have goals in it.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Ermedin Demirovic to score anytime | 11/8 (Sky Bet) | Ermedin Demirovic leads the Stuttgart line and is among their scorers this season. The visitors have found the net in four of their five Bundesliga games and face a Hamburg defence that has shipped 15 goals in five, the second-worst record in the division. Demirovic’s hold-up play and movement make him central to Stuttgart’s attack, and he should see plenty of the ball against a back line that has struggled all season. At 11/8 with Sky Bet, the striker is a solid pick to get on the scoresheet in Hamburg. |
| Yussuf Poulsen to score anytime | 11/4 (bet365) | Yussuf Poulsen has led Hamburg’s mini-revival, scoring twice including in their 3-2 win at Hoffenheim last time out. Hamburg have found the net in each of their last two games after a barren opening month, and Stuttgart have kept just one clean sheet all season. Poulsen’s experience and physical presence give him a real chance against a visiting defence that concedes chances. With Hamburg likely to score in a game that should have goals, 11/4 with bet365 on the striker to find the net looks a fair price. |

How Hamburg go into the game
Hamburg have found some form after a dreadful start, winning their last two games 2-1 against Cologne and 3-2 at Hoffenheim. That followed three straight defeats to open the season, in which they lost by heavy margins without scoring, so the turnaround has been welcome.
Their defence remains a concern, with 15 goals conceded in five games, the second-worst record in the division. Yussuf Poulsen leads the scoring on two, and the Volksparkstadion crowd will hope the revival continues.
How Stuttgart go into the game
Stuttgart sit 11th and run hot and cold, with no draws in five games. They beat Paderborn 2-0 away last time out but had lost three of their previous four, including a 5-1 thrashing at Bayern Munich, so form is hard to read.
At their best they carry a real threat, having hit Cologne for four at home, and they won this exact fixture 4-0 against Hamburg a season ago. Ermedin Demirovic offers a focal point up front for the visitors.

| 31/03/18 | Stuttgart | 1-1 | Hamburg |
| 04/11/17 | Hamburg | 3-1 | Stuttgart |
Stuttgart will take confidence from a 4-0 win over Hamburg in their most recent meeting, though honours are fairly even across the last four games. The time before that, the hosts edged a 2-1 win of their own.

Hamburg vs Stuttgart score prediction
Stuttgart’s greater quality and Hamburg’s leaky defence tilt this towards the visitors, even if the hosts are in better form than their league position suggests. Expect goals at both ends in what should be an open game at the Volksparkstadion. Score prediction: Hamburg 1-2 Stuttgart.
