Heidenheim - Bayer Leverkusen predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 8.20 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Heidenheim to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

Bayer Leverkusen are expected to win this match, which is made quite clear by the 1.41 odds that can be found with most bookies. The odds are not so short as to make an Away Win bet not worth taking, though, which also implies a certain degree of risk.

Heidenheim’s confidence is soaring after a major breakthrough in their previous Bundesliga game. Despite a very hard matchup against Werder Bremen and a home-field disadvantage, Heidenheim secured an early lead and turned it into a narrow 1:2 victory.

The away team’s performance the last time we saw them was nothing short of impressive. Top online bookmakers didn’t favour one team or the other, but Team from Leverkusen ended up winning the bout 3:0 after leading the proceedings throughout the runtime.

Leverkusen have scored 7 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Leverkusen already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Marnon Busch, Thomas Keller, Elidon Qenaj, Luka Janes have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 2.63 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
