Hansa Rostock vs Heidenheim Predictions

• Each of the last six H2H meetings produced under 2.5 goals within 90 minutes.
• Games involving Hansa Rostock and Heidenheim were amongst the bottom-six lowest scoring league games last season.
• Heidenheim failed to win seven of their last eight competitive away games.

An edgy start to the season

Finishing in an uninspired bottom-half position last season, Hansa Rostock head into this season opener with hopes of something a bit better this time around. A positive pre-season may have soothed the pain of recording a winless six-game finish to 2021/22, yet it remains to be seen whether they can translate that into league success.

The visitors will head here with victory in mind after missing out on promotion by eight points last term. However, some sketchy away form needs to be addressed, with Heidenheim running out winners in just one of their last eight competitive away games.

An honourable mention must go out to Heidenheim for smashing their pre-season schedule with a simply unbelievable 29-0 victory last month, though we expect this one to be a much lower scoring affair considering the six-game trend in H2Hs between these sides.

The spoils may be shared

Given that these sides sat amongst the bottom six in terms of average goals per-game last season and the compelling streak in the H2Hs, we predict that this game will produce under 2.5 total goals.

As for the correct score, we are sticking with a lacklustre 1-1 draw for small stakes.
