Heidenheim vs Augsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-09-26 13:30.
[p]Heidenheim return to the Voith-Arena still searching for their first Bundesliga points of the season, while visitors Augsburg may see this as an opportunity to end their own recent struggles.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Heidenheim prop up the Bundesliga table after suffering four successive defeats to open the campaign, with their most recent reverse, a 2-1 loss at newly-promoted Hamburg, arguably the most frustrating result of that sequence. Frank Schmidt’s men have netted just twice in the league so far this term, that’s despite firing in 20 shots and accumulating just short of three xG against Hamburg! Schmidt, now in his 18th season in charge, may be running out of time to find answers as this serves as a continuation of last term’s poor form that saw them only survive relegation via the play-off.[/p]
[p]Augsburg’s own struggles continued in a 4-1 home defeat to Mainz, a third straight Bundesliga loss since opening the campaign by impressively thumping Freiburg. Sandro Wagner’s tenure is therefore off to an inauspicious start, with cracks beginning to show in defence given that they’ve conceded nine times across those three defeats. With pressure mounting on the young coach, he’ll hope for improvements on the road, though Augsburg have lost three of their last four away league games (W1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Heidenheim have lost three of the last four H2Hs (W1), but the exception came in style as they ran out emphatic 4-0 winners in last season’s corresponding fixture.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Heidenheim haven’t scored more than once in any of their last six home league games (D1, L5). [/p]
[p]Heidenheim have attempted the fewest shots in the division (39).[/p]
[p]No side has picked up more yellow cards after the opening four rounds than Augsburg (13).[/p]
[p]The first meeting of the season between these two in each of the past two campaigns produced 4+ match goals. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Teenager Adam Kölle might well be in line for his first Bundesliga start for Heidenheim after he came off the bench to grab his maiden top-flight goal in last week’s 2-1 loss. Samuel Essende finally returned from his lengthy four-game suspension last time out, and reminded Augsburg what they’d missed by scoring his side’s consolation goal. [/p]
[p]Heidenheim’s Leart Paçarada has been ruled out indefinitely with an ACL injury, while Augsburg are still expected to be without Dimitrios Giannoulis and Anton Kade. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]While goals are usually plentiful when these two meet for the first time in the campaign, both are lacking confidence and quality at the moment, so we’re backing a 0-0 draw![/p]
