Heidenheim - Bayer Leverkusen predictions

With most bookies pricing a home win at 7.03, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Heidenheim don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

It’s hard to see this match going any other way than an away win. Priced at 1.44 with most bookies, this match is a fairly one-sided affair, and Heidenheim will need to give quite the performance if they want to get any points out of it.

Heidenheim’s confidence is soaring after a major breakthrough in their previous Bundesliga game. Despite a very hard matchup against Wolfsburg and a home-field disadvantage, Heidenheim secured an early lead and turned it into a narrow 0:1 victory.

The last home win we saw from Bayer Leverkusen surprised no one. They had a clear advantage in form and played on their home turf against Bochum, so the decisive victory was predicted by almost every expert who paid attention.

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 Voith-Arena.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Leverkusen have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Bundesliga. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Deep in the bottom part of the Bundesliga table, Heidenheim will have to dig deep in the closing stages of the season if they wish to stay in the league. The hosts are currently sitting in 16th and things are highly unlikely to take on a positive change after their Saturday meeting with Leverkusen.

The first time they matched with Heidenheim, Leverkusen ended the match with a lead of more than two goals. They’re playing as the away team this time, but most bookies are pricing their victory at 1.44, which makes them the favourites.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1 if you use the 1xbet sportsbook.
