Voith Arena – Heidenheim

Heidenheim
Second-from-the-bottom Heidenheim has a very difficult task ahead. Bundesliga survival is a top priority, and they would make a big first step by beating Koln, who are five points above them.
Heidenheim lost four of their last six games, with all six matches ending with three or more goals scored.
When we look at the big picture, there are some signs that they are moving into good direction. They picked up 11 points from the last 11 games, which is still too few, but not the worst.
The first thing they must improve is scoring – only 13 goals in 15 games makes Heidenheim currently the worst attacking side in the Bundesliga.
Koln
Koln finished last year as a team with the worst form in the Bundesliga – winless in six straight, losing four times. They are also winless in four road games, losing three times, and they do not look that big of a favorites to me here.
Unlike Heidenheim’s high-scoring matches, Koln’s recent games were all tight, with under 2.5 goals landing in their last four games.
The Betting Verdict
This is a game with a strong potential for upset. Heidenheim is very motivated to escape automatic relegation spots; they showed good recent displays, while Koln were terrible last month.
I believe the odds for the home win are pretty valuable, so let’s go with Heidenheim to win the match.
