Augsburg vs Heidenheim prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-03-08 14:30.
[p]A myriad of defensive errors from Darmstadt allowed Augsburg to run riot with a 6-0 victory last weekend, equalling their joint-biggest win in the competition. Now within touching distance of the top half after a pair of consecutive victories, Augsburg will hope to bridge that gap with another resounding result against Heidenheim, much like their stunning 5-2 reverse victory.[/p]
[p]It has been a case of gradual improvement for Augsburg at home this year, with them scoring exactly twice in each of their last three home league games and an improving end result each time (W1, D1, L1). The hosts don’t often flounder as favourites either, with just one defeat in league action when favoured by the bookmakers (W5, D2, L1). [/p]
[p]Trying to upset the odds will be Heidenheim, who were leapfrogged by their hosts in the previous round after a three-game winless run of their own (D1, L2). Whilst the visitors impressively remain 11 points above the drop zone as we enter the business end of their first-ever top-flight season, they cannot afford to rest on their laurels with a possible 30 points still to play for.[/p]
[p]Playing away from home may actually suit the visitors, who remain unbeaten in a club record five consecutive Bundesliga road trips (W2, D3). That run came after failing to win any of their first seven away trips in the competition (D1, L6), so their improvement cannot be understated, though it must be noted that the Bundesliga surprise package did squander leads to draw in two of their last three away contests. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: No Augsburg player has ever been involved in more league goals in one season than Ermedin Demirović’s current haul of 22 (G14, A8), with three of those coming in the last round and one in the reverse. Tim Kleindienst put Heidenheim ahead inside of 20 minutes on that day, but three of his last five scoring appearances ended in defeat for his side. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: A joint league-high 92% of Augsburg’s home league games this season saw both teams score. [/p]
