Union Berlin - Heidenheim predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.68, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

Considering what they’re up against, Heidenheim can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.23 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Union Berlin earned a standing ovation for the last round’s victory. The last Bundesliga trip saw did not have them as firm favourites to win, on the contrary. They still did well enough to take the halftime lead and close the game in style (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY).

Heidenheim are coming on the back of a 0:3 defeat at home, which was painful but hardly unexpected. Not many Bundesliga betting predictions expected them to be able to stand up to Borussia M'gladbach, and they fell behind fairly early.

Union Berlin will likely want to shake things up offensively after lukewarm results in the previous few matches. Outcome aside, both of their latest two away games ended with 1 or 0 goals in total.

Given 10 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Heidenheim's defensive line is much to be desired.

The form we saw from Heidenheim so far leaves much to be desired. They’re in the relegation zone going into round 12. Though they have a lot of time to improve their results, they’re in for a tough road ahead.

Although the bookies are quite clear on who’s more likely to win this matchup, don’t let the 1.68 home win odds fool you. This game’s away team defeated Union Berlin on several occasions in the previous season, each time with a goal difference of two or more.

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

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.93, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
