Freiburg - Heidenheim predictions

With the 1.78 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Heidenheim, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

It would be a minor miracle for Heidenheim to win at Freiburg, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.73 price on most online sportsbooks.

Asslim as it might have been, the HT/FT victory (Bochum) was not something we expected from Freiburg and their previous Bundesliga outing. They were the underdogs at 2.62 betting odds but they still emerged victorious.

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

Freiburg’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Bundesliga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Heidenheim 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.

Heidenheim displayed relatively shaky form in the 21 games they’ve appeared in so far. They’re dangerously close to the bottom of the table, placing at number 16th in the standings. Such placement makes the difficult matchup in Schwarzwald-Stadion even more concerning for their supporters.

The last time these two teams met Freiburg managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

Max Rosenfelder, Florent Muslija, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.73, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
