RB Leipzig vs Heidenheim prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-08-29 13:30.
[p]Two sides who both competed in Germany’s third tier in 2013/14, RB Leipzig and Heidenheim, will clash for a third straight Bundesliga season with both teams looking to avenge their respective opening day defeats.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Ole Werner could hardly have posted a worse start to his Leipzig tenure as his Bundesliga bow saw him oversee their worst ever top-flight defeat in a 6-0 drubbing by champions Bayern Munich. That defeat extended their winless league sequence to six games (D3, L3) and came on the back of their worst-ever Bundesliga finish of seventh in 2024/25 which prompted the managerial switch. A return home may be their best avenue of stimulating a resurgence, as it is where they collected five of their last six Bundesliga victories.[/p]
[p]Occupying the away dugout is the Bundesliga’s longest-serving boss, Frank Schmidt, who has taken Heidenheim from the doldrums of the fifth tier all the way to avoiding relegation via a play-off to secure a third season at the top. As he approaches his 19th year in the hotseat, he will likely contend with another difficult season in or around the relegation zone after Heidenheim fell to a 3-1 home defeat to Wolfsburg on the opening day. Hoping to upset the odds here, the visitors may draw some confidence from the fact that nine of their last ten points were earned away from home. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Leipzig and Heidenheim have faced each other ten times across each of Germany’s top-three tiers in this fixture’s relatively short history since 2013 (LEI: W5, D4, L1). Leipzig manager Ole Werner may have a point to prove here given his own poor personal record against Frank Schmidt’s Heidenheim (W1, D2, L5). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Leipzig conceded at least two second-half goals in five of their last seven Bundesliga games. [/p]
[p]Ten of Leipzig’s last 12 home league games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Heidenheim avoided defeat in less than a third of their league games as pre-match outsiders since the beginning of last season (W6, D4, L21). [/p]
[p]The side that scored first avoided defeat in each of Heidenheim’s last 11 away league games (HEI: W3, D3, L5).  [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Loïs Openda has scored in all four of his games against Heidenheim (G4, A1), and has never lost against this opposition since joining Leipzig (W3, D1). Heidenheim’s Léo Scienza became the first player across Europe’s traditional big-five leagues to score three competitive goals from direct free kicks during 2025 after his opening day strike. [/p]
[p]Lukas Klostermann remains doubtful for Leipzig, while Heidenheim must make do without the services of Sirlord Conteh. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Considering that Leipzig have lost just once in this fixture’s history, and with just one clean sheet across the last nine H2Hs, backing Leipzig to win and both teams to score could be a smart double. [/p]
