Heidenheim vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips | September 21st 2024
Heidenheim play host to Freiburg at Voith-Arena in round five of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Julian Schuster’s men picking up a narrow victory over Bochum.
Heidenheim were outclassed and outplayed by Borussia Dortmund last Friday as they fell to a 4-2 loss when the two teams squared off at Signal Iduna Park. Before that, Frank Schmidt’s men were on a run of 13 consecutive wins across all competitions, stretching back to a 1-1 draw against Freiburg on May 11.
Heidenheim now return home, where they have picked up three straight competitive wins and are unbeaten in six of their last seven outings since mid-March.
Freiburg, on the other hand, picked up their second win of the new Bundesliga campaign last Saturday when they edged out Bochum 2-1 at the Europa-Park Stadion.
Sandwiched between the two wins, Schuster’s men fell to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Bayern Munich courtesy of goals in either half from Harry Kane and Thomas Muller.
While Freiburg will look to pick up where they left off against Bochum, they have failed to win their last three Bundesliga away matches, claiming one point from a possible nine since April’s 1-0 victory at Darmstadt.
