Heidenheim
LLWDWL
Heidenheim will be hoping for a better result following a 1-4 Bundesliga defeat in their last game at the hands of Werder Bremen.
In that match, Heidenheim managed 51% possession and 21 shots at goal with 8 on target. The scorer for Heidenheim was Luca Kerber (80'). For their opponents, Werder Bremen got 13 attempts at goal with 7 on target. Romano Schmid (14'), Jens Stage (33'), Marvin Ducksch (66') and Keke Topp (86') scored for Werder Bremen.
An interesting feature of more recent Heidenheim games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
From their previous six clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would have been a loser.

In their previous six clashes, Elversberg have helped themselves to a total of 13 goals. Elversberg have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions.

Here is a game where Elversberg will need to apply a lot of pressure to find the net against this Heidenheim side who we think might well manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
That’s why we have predicted a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Heidenheim at full-time.
A close call.
