Heidenheim vs Bayern Munich Predictions

• Five of Heidenheim’s last seven games have contained 3+ goals
• There have been 3+ goals in eight of Bayern Munich’s last nine Bundesliga outings
• Bayern have netted 78 times in just 27 league fixtures this season

Will Heidenheim cause an upset?

It has already been an impressive season for Heidenheim, who sit comfortably above the relegation zone despite a six-game winless run in the Bundesliga.

Conceding goals has been the problem during that period, with their defence breached on at least two occasions in four of those games, while five of their last seven outings have contained 3+ strikes.

That would suggest they are unlikely to pull off a shock victory in this outing, as would the fact they have already been beaten 4-2 by opponents Bayern Munich in the reverse fixture.

Bayern must bounce back

The visitors will be fearing this is a potential banana skin fixture for them though, especially after losing 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund last week, after which Thomas Tuchel conceded the title race to Bayer Leverkusen.

The defending champions sit 13 points off top spot, despite a run of six wins from their last ten league outings, with eight of those fixtures containing 3+ goals.

Indeed, Bayern are the top scorers in the division by miles this season, netting 78 times and conceding a further 33, meaning their matches average a whopping 4.11 strikes per game.

I predict that Bayern Munich will win this game with 3+ goals in the fixture, selecting 3-1 as a correct score prediction.
