Stuttgart - Heidenheim predictions

Heidenheim will have little to hope for against Stuttgart. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

Considering what they’re up against, Heidenheim can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 10.70 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The hosts are coming off of a decisive 0:3 away win in their most recent Bundesliga match. Most bookmakers online saw them winning as the most likely outcome, but the fact they kept ahead for most of the game and recorded a convincing result is still reassuring to their supporters.

Heidenheim were off to a bad start in their previous Bundesliga outing. Although they were the home team, they were behind on half-time against a relatively stronger opponent - Borussia M'gladbach. Heidenheim managed to scrape together a 1:1 draw before the end, which isn’t bad all things considered.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Although the 1.30 betting odds for a home win show that Stuttgart are the favourites, their track record against Heidenheim this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Dan-Axel Zagadou, Nikolas Nartey, Samuele Di Benedetto for the hosts, and Jan-Niklas Beste, Lennard Maloney, Thomas Keller, Elidon Qenaj, Luka Janes for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.43 at 888Sport.
