Heidenheim

Heidenheim were brave in last week’s 3-2 away loss to Borussia Dortmund, even taking the lead against a much stronger opponent.

Despite that spirit, they remain at the bottom of the table, winless in seven Bundesliga matches, and six points from safety.

Heidenheim's games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals in ten of their last eleven matches, reflecting both attacking effort and defensive vulnerability.

Hosting Hamburger SV, this is a crucial relegation “six-pointer,” and Heidenheim will need to combine courage with focus if they hope to get maximum points.

Hamburger SV

Hamburger SV keep a safe distance from the relegation zone thanks to solid home form, but their away record is alarming.

Winless in nine road games, scoring just four goals while conceding 18, HSV are arguably the Bundesliga’s poorest travelers this season.

Last weekend’s 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich was a massive result, but isolated heroics like that are unlikely to translate into consistent points on the road.

Draws at both half-time and full-time in their last three matches show that while Hamburger SV are difficult to beat, they rarely impress away from home.

The Betting Verdict

Heidenheim hosts a Hamburger SV side who struggle away from home and have scored just four times in nine road games. Yet, Heidenheim have not beaten HSV in six straight meetings, drawing twice and losing four.

Expect a tight but tense match. It looks like a physical, nervous encounter, like most duels between sides at the bottom scrapping for points.

Heidenheim left a solid impression on me with their displays recently, and perhaps this is the game to turn their fortunes around.

Back Heidenheim to win this game narrowly at valuable odds.

The Pick :

Heidenheim 1-0 Hamburger SV

FIXED ODDS BETTING :

Take Heidenheim to win at odds of 2.75 at Bet365

HANDICAP BETTING :

Having said that I don't like backing relegation teams, I am going to have a wee bet on bottom of the Bundesliga table Heidenheim to win here against one of the weakest road teams in the Bundesliga.

Hamburg are 0-3-6 4:18 in their nine away games this season, a run which has caused my sheet to push them down to 909 ranking points, which is almost 100 points or 1 goal worse than the average performer.

Heidenheim are not great at home, but their 2-3-5 10:22 record does show that home wins are possible, and they really do NEED to win this match if their going to escape relegation this season.

There is not a lot of data on matchups between two teams ranking this low in the Bundesliga - just 19 games since 1998 - but the stats tell me that the home side wins 53% of the time.

So I will take Heidenheim to win at home at odds of 2.96 at CLoudbet or 2.88 at Bet365 - it's very +EV - and the probability is higher than most value bets.
