Heidenheim vs Hamburg Predictions

• Heidenheim have only lost two of their 16 home games this season.
• Hamburg have dropped points in 12 of their 15 away games this season.
• The hosts score an average of 1.88 goals per home game.
• The visitors score an average of 1.63 goals per away game.

Heidenheim claimed a point away at Greuther Furth on Tuesday evening as the pair played out a goalless draw, while Hamburg were held at home by lowly Osnabruck despite taking the lead in the first half through Harnik. A point apiece means these two sides head into Sunday’s clash separated by just 2pts with Hamburg in 2nd place and Heidenheim in 4th.

The hosts have claimed a draw and a win in their last two matches against Hamburg with Fohrenbach’s 82nd-minute strike in Hamburg proving enough for Heidenheim to claim all 3pts back in December. Heidenheim head into this match as the form favourites with three wins, two draws and one defeat from their last six matches but Hamburg aren’t far behind having won two, drawn three and lost one of their last six league games.

Our prediction for a double chance bet in favour of Heidenheim this weekend in based largely on the form of both teams at home and on the road so far this season. The hosts have only lost two of their 16 home games, winning ten times and drawing on four occasions, while Hamburg have lost four, drawn eight, and won four of their 16 away trips.

Neither side have lost many games of late though and with the hosts scoring an average of 1.88 goals per home game and the visitors scoring an average of 1.63 goals per away game, our prediction for a 2-2 final scoreline looks a real possibility. Heidenheim have scored seven goals in their last two home games while Hamburg have scored two of more goals in three of their last five matches, which suggests there is a good chance we will see plenty of goalmouth action this Sunday.
