Match Analysis

Heidenheim's recent form shows signs of resilience, despite their low league position. They secured two wins and a draw in their last three outings, including a notable away victory against Wolfsburg and a solid home win over Holstein Kiel. However, their defensive fragility remains a concern, conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game in the last five matches, with only one clean sheet to their name. Leverkusen, on the other hand, have been in impressive form, although they suffered a surprise defeat against Werder Bremen. Their attack has been prolific, averaging 2.4 goals per game over their last five matches, supported by a strong expected goals figure of 2.248. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding just 1.2 goals on average per game in the same period, which could be crucial against Heidenheim's unpredictable attack.

Final Prediction

Leverkusen's edge in this matchup lies in their superior attacking prowess and overall consistency, as evidenced by their current league standing and recent performances. A key factor to watch during the game will be Leverkusen's ability to exploit Heidenheim's defensive vulnerabilities, potentially leading to a high-scoring affair. With both teams having shown the capability to score, fans can expect an entertaining spectacle.
