Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Bundesliga match.
Heidenheim remain embroiled in a relegation battle in the Bundesliga. With eight matches remaining, they sit seven points adrift of the safety of 15th place. Matters are made more difficult by their next opponent — Bayern Munich — who will be looking to bounce back after their elimination from the Champions League.
Heidenheim
In the last two rounds, Heidenheim came up short against strong opposition, losing to Eintracht Frankfurt (0:3) and Bayer Leverkusen (0:1). The results highlight their struggles, not only defensively but also going forward, registering just five shots on target across 180 minutes. Their problems are compounded by injuries to key attacking players Budu Zivzivadze and Mathias Honsak, both of whom are unavailable for the upcoming fixtures.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are now out of all competitions this season, which means their full attention is now on domestic matters. The team’s biggest strength lies in their attacking output. They are averaging 2.86 goals per game and have recorded 75.4 xG in 29 matches. Harry Kane continues to impress, contributing three goals and one assist in his last five appearances.
Heidenheim vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Having suffered a Champions League elimination, Bayern Munich will be determined to make a statement against Heidenheim. In the reverse fixture, they dismantled Heidenheim’s defence in a 4:2 victory, and they will be targeting a similarly dominant performance this time out.
