Augsburg - Heidenheim predictions

Augsburg might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Heidenheim are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

Heidenheim will have little to hope for in this match. 4.03 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Augsburg performed beyond all expectations in their previous Bundesliga match against Darmstadt 98 . They grabbed an early lead and rode out the momentum until the very end, which resulted in a resolute 0:6 away win.

The previous round ended with a 1:2 home loss for Heidenheim. They were matched with Eintracht Frankfurt, though, who were definitely the favourites.

The hosts are here after a series of home games marked by a high concession rate. For instance, they yielded more than 5 goals over the previous 3 matches at WWK Arena.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Augsburg’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Reece Oxford, Raphael Framberger, Mads Pedersen, Patric Pfeiffer. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Jan-Niklas Beste, Lennard Maloney, Thomas Keller, Elidon Qenaj. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.67, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
