Hamburger SV host VfB Stuttgart at the Volksparkstadion on Saturday, aiming to extend a three-game winning streak.
The Rothosen have recovered from a tough start to the season that included heavy defeats in Leipzig and Mainz. Last weekend's 3-2 away win at Hoffenheim was particularly significant. Poulsen opened the scoring early, with Tetteh Moffi and Miro Muheim netting later to secure the three points. That result took HSV to six points from five matches, leaving them just one point behind their upcoming opponents.
Hamburger SV's winning run spans three different competitions. It began with a 2-1 Bundesliga win over 1. FC Köln, followed by a 2-0 friendly victory against FC Copenhagen, and was capped by the 3-2 league success at Hoffenheim. This positive trend contrasts sharply with the last meeting against Stuttgart in April, which ended in a 4-0 defeat. Sebastian Hoeneß's Stuttgart side travel north after a 2-0 away win at SC Paderborn, but had lost their two previous Bundesliga matches to Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund.
The back three consisted of Capaldo, Bornauw and Omari. The midfield included Albert Sambi Lokonga and Remberg, with Poulsen leading the line.
The match on the sixth matchday kicks off at 15:30 local time on Saturday, 17 October 2026. It represents an opportunity for Hamburger SV to continue their strong home form and overtake Stuttgart in the table.
