STUTTGART, Germany (Interstat) — Stuttgart opened its Bundesliga season with a commanding 4-0 victory over Hamburg SV II on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at MHPArena.

The hosts controlled play from the start. Angelo Stiller opened the scoring in the 21st minute, followed by Chris Führich’s goal in the 32nd. Defender Maximilian Mittelstädt added a third in the 56th minute before substitute Bilal El Khannouss completed the rout in the 86th.

The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, whose simulator had forecast a 2-2 draw despite also giving Stuttgart an 86 percent probability to win. Stuttgart begins the campaign with a win, while Hamburg SV II starts with a loss.

Key contributors included Stiller, Führich, Mittelstädt and El Khannouss with goals, and Nicolás Capaldo and Deniz Undav with assists. Chema, Capaldo and Undav received yellow cards.
