SV Darmstadt vs Heidenheim Predictions

• Darmstadt have lost eight of their last nine home Bundesliga matches
• Heidenheim have won two and drawn five of their last eight away league matches
• Darmstadt have conceded multiple goals in six of their last seven home league contests

Darmstadt are doomed to the drop

Don’t expect Darmstadt’s first Bundesliga win since October to change too much ahead of their home clash with Heidenheim on Sunday.

The Lilies remain rooted to the bottom of the pool and look likely to see their return to Bundesliga.2 confirmed either this week or next. But it was typical behaviour for an almost-relegated team to suddenly turn up and beat a club with more at stake than them in Cologne last weekend.

It is doubtful that Torsten Lieberknecht’s side can repeat that against a mid-table Heidenheim side that have not really improved their league position in the last couple of months.

Heidenheim have improved on the road

But Frank Schmidt’s men, who lost six of their first seven away games in the Bundesliga this season, have improved their away form. Heidenheim have only suffered one defeat in their subsequent eight league matches on their travels, a run which includes a 3-3 draw at third-placed Stuttgart.

They also recently turned Bayern Munich over at home and were not far away from securing a point at home to RB Leipzig last weekend.

Therefore, it looks a fairly simple solution to back Heidenheim to see off Darmstadt, who have lost eight of their last nine home Bundesliga matches.
