Heidenheim vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips

Heidenheim and Freiburg square off at Voith Arena in round 13 of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Frank Schmidt’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having lost both home and away meetings between the two teams last season.

Heidenheim turned in a resilient team display last Saturday when they netted twice in stoppage time to secure a 2-1 comeback victory over Union Berlin at the An der alten Forsterei.

This was a much-needed result for Schmidt’s side, who had failed to win their previous eight games, losing six and claiming one draw — a run which saw them crash out of the DFB Pokal.

Heidenheim have picked up eight points from their 12 Bundesliga matches so far to sit 16th in the league table, two points above rock-bottom Mainz.

Meanwhile, Freiburg booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal on Wednesday when they secured a 2-0 victory over Darmstadt at the Europa-Park Stadion.

Julian Schuster’s men have gone unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches in all competitions, picking up five wins and two draws since October 29.

This fine run of results has seen Freiburg surge into eighth place in the Bundesliga table with 16 points from 12 matches, level on points with ninth-placed Werder Bremen.
