Stuttgart vs. Heidenheim: Match Prediction
In the previous round, Sebastian Hoeneß's team demonstrated that they have no issues converting chances. Stuttgart scored more than two goals for the ninth time this season, with 14 goals in their last six Bundesliga matches. However, such scoring prowess hasn't always translated into points. Additionally, Stuttgart has an embarrassing streak of home losses, though these defeats were mostly against top-half teams. Facing relegation-threatened Heidenheim, the hosts can expect a favorable outcome.
For Frank Schmidt's side, even maximum points in the remaining rounds might not be enough for survival. However, they have no choice but to take risks and push forward. Yet, the team's defense has been weak even when not required to attack actively: Heidenheim has conceded 27 goals in their last 12 Bundesliga away matches, securing just one win in this stretch.
My prediction: Stuttgart will not lose and Total over 2.5 goals
