Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig Prediction and Betting Tips | October 6th 2024

Heidenheim and RB Leipzig return to action in the German Bundesliga when they square off at the Voith-Arena on Sunday. Frank Schmidt’s men will head into the game looking to get one over the visitors, having lost their last three meetings since a 1-1 draw in September 2015.

Heidenheim picked up a dream start to the 2024-25 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign as they secured a 2-1 victory over Slovenian outfit Olimpija on Thursday.

Schmidt’s men now turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory over Mainz last Saturday to end their run of two back-to-back defeats.

With nine points from five matches, Heidenheim are sixth in the league standings, level on points with seventh-placed Freiburg.

Leipzig, on the other hand, were condemned to a second consecutive UEFA Champions League defeat in midweek when they were beaten 3-2 by Italian giants Juventus.

While Marco Rose’s men have struggled to get going in Europe, they have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the new Bundesliga campaign, picking up three wins and two draws from their opening five matches.

With 11 points from the first 15 available, Leipzig are currently third in the league standings, two points behind first-played Bayern Munich.
