Hoffenheim - Heidenheim predictions

We don’t expect Hoffenheim to have any issues beating Heidenheim. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.59 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Hoffenheim and the fact that Heidenheim are given 5.39 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

The latest away win we saw from Hoffenheim came as quite a surprise. They were in a stalemate for most of the first half against St. Pauli , a relatively tough match-up. The second half swung completely in their favour, however, resulting in a decisive 0:3 victory.

The odds in the visitors’ previous matchup put them on equal footing with their opponents Werder Bremen, and the HT/FT Draw confirms this assessment. Of course, Heidenheim still got the short end of that stick. They were the hosts in that game, after all

After recording more than 5 concessions in the previous 3 home games alone, confidence in Hoffenheim and their ability to bank on home-field advantage is shaky.

Heidenheim are on a bit of a losing streak when it comes to away games. They’ve lost 3 of them consecutively.

Heidenheim are going into round 8 in a very rough spot. They’re already down in the relegation zone after acquiring just 4 points so far. Although they’ll have plenty of time to move up in the standings, they’re not very likely to earn any points in this upcoming match.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, the most recent record we have is of a draw game in the previous season. As the hosts and favourites, Hoffenheim would not be happy with a tie again, so they’ll be trying hard for a more conclusive result this time.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
