Union Berlin vs Heidenheim Predictions

In-form Union can down Heidenheim

Union Berlin are the bet at home to Heidenheim on Saturday. Steffen Baumgart’s side should have too much for Frank Schmidt’s strugglers at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei.

Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season, but Union Berlin are three places above Heidenheim in the table. The hosts are 13th with nine wins and 13 defeats, while the visitors are 16th with seven wins and 20 losses and are sat in the relegation play-off position.

Union Berlin are unbeaten in their last eight Bundesliga games and come into this match in good form.

Heidenheim’s recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six games. They recorded a 1-0 win over Stuttgart at odds of 5/1, but also suffered a demoralising 4-0 defeat by Bayern Munich.

Their struggles in front of goal are a major concern, with the visitors failing to find the net in four of their last five Bundesliga matches.

The visitors have struggled to keep out their opponents this season. Heidenheim have conceded 31 goals away from home in the Bundesliga – an average of 1.94 goals per game from their 16 matches on the road.

Union Berlin to get the 2-0 home win looks a decent correct-score option. At least one side failed to score in Heidenheim’s last six Bundesliga games, and seven of their 20 defeats this season have been by a two-goal margin.
