Match Prediction: Leipzig vs. Heidenheim
Marco Rose's team has stalled, securing only one win in their last five championship matches, but they have a good chance to earn three points in the upcoming game. They host one of the tournament's underdogs, who are also expending energy in the Conference League.
Heidenheim has lost 7 of their last 8 away Bundesliga matches, with their only draw during this period coming against Werder just seconds before the final whistle. Notably, Frank Schmidt's side has been poor defensively during this period, conceding 21 goals. Furthermore, they have conceded at least two goals in 11 of their last 13 championship matches.
Leipzig has won 3 of their last 4 home Bundesliga games and also shared points with Bayer. Marco Rose's side has defeated Heidenheim in all three head-to-head Bundesliga encounters. I believe the team can extend this series to four matches.
