Heidenheim

LLLWDW

Heidenheim, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 0-3 Bundesliga success versus Union Berlin.

In that game, Heidenheim had 51% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For Heidenheim, the goalscorers were Adrian Beck (12', 73') and Jan Schöppner (56'). Union Berlin got 10 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

A recurring aspect of more recent Heidenheim games is the number of nil scores.

From their previous 6 clashes leading up to this one, in 6 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have lost. That aside, we’ll just have to find out whether that pattern might persist here in this match or not.

Their previous form shows that Heidenheim:

• have not lost a league tie with Werder Bremen in their last 4 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 3 league matches.

A succession of resolute showings from the Werder Bremen defensive players has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their past 6 fixtures overall. During the same period, their own attack force has managed to score 7.

ℹ️ Team News: Heidenheim

Christopher Negele (muscular problems), Luka Janes (muscular problems) and Frans Krätzig (Ill) will not be able to play for Heidenheim gaffer Frank Schmidt.

In all likelihood, Heidenheim look set to make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Oliver Baumann, Arthur Chaves, Leo Oestigard, Kevin Akpoguma, Pavel Kaderabek, Anton Stach, Dennis Geiger, Alexander Prass, Tom Bischof, Andrej Kramaric and Adam Hlozek.

🗞️ Team News: Werder Bremen

Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there is only the one fitness issue for the Werder Bremen gaffer Ole Werner to be concerned with. Oliver Burke (Foot bruise) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Werder could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Manuel Neuer, Konrad Laimer, Josip Stanisic, Eric Dier, Raphael Guerreiro, Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Michael Olise, Thomas Mueller, Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry.

🔮 Prediction

It’s looking like Werder Bremen and Heidenheim should both be able to find the back of the net at least once here although it’s difficult at this stage to select a clear winner.

We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square with both teams likely to score. We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 2-2 score after 90 minutes.
