HAMBURG v STUTTGART PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is a match between two sides in the bottom half of the table after seven matches. Hamburg are five places and four points ahead of their opponents at the weekend. However, last season Stuttgart finished sixth while Hamburg were 15th, though relegation was never really an issue. Stuttgart’s matches produced on average more than three goals per game last season while Hamburg’s total for scoring and conceding over the same period was less than 2.5.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Hamburg beat Greuther Furth away from home in their last match, creating one goal from marginally more than half the possession. This season to date Furth have the worst record in the league and have won just one match in seven games. Home advantage should lead to Hamburg dominating possession but they will have to be more creative to win this match. The goals of Heung Min Son have been important for the side this season and he looks likely to selected for this match. Stuttgart drew their last match against Bayer Leverkusen at home, achieving a decent chance creating efficiency in that match. Vedad Ibisevic is a key player for the side.

HAMBURG - STUTTGART PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

On current form this match appears to be a home banker but based on form from last season Stuttgart can avoid defeat. Over the course of the season they proved themselves to be a better side than their opponents, despite making a moderate start to the current campaign. Stuttgart avoided defeat in 10 of 17 matches played on the road last season which suggests they can share the points with a team of Hamburg’s ability. That side won just three times at home during 2011-12 and only one other side won fewer games at their own stadium.
