Hamburger SV vs VfB Stuttgart — head-to-head

All-time storyline

Hamburger SV and VfB Stuttgart have met just once, with Stuttgart holding a clean record. Their only prior fixture on April 12, 2026 ended 4-0 in favor of Stuttgart, a dominant away performance that underscored their control. The match stood out as Stuttgart’s attack overwhelmed Hamburg’s defense, with multiple players finding the net in a one-sided contest. That result left Hamburg without a win or even a draw in the fixture, while Stuttgart claimed a decisive victory. Today, this rivalry remains a footnote in both clubs’ histories, given the limited meeting record. Hamburg will aim to erase the memory of that defeat, while Stuttgart can point to their solitary encounter as evidence of their edge. Though the sample size is tiny, it still frames Stuttgart as the side to have had the upper hand in this pairing. For both sets of supporters, the rivalry is more about tradition than frequent meetings.
