Hoffenheim vs Heidenheim prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-10-24 13:30.
[p]Both Hoffenheim and visitors Heidenheim come into this Bundesliga game with some momentum, with the hosts surging into the top half after a massive win and the away side lifting themselves off the foot of the table.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Hoffenheim made the gruelling trip north to face St. Pauli last Sunday looking to end a three-game winless sequence (D1, L2), and the travel proved worth it as they ran out 3-0 victors. Manager Christian Ilzer would have been elated with the three points, but halting an 11-match run without a top-flight clean sheet would have felt great too, serving as the perfect confidence builder for Die Kraichgauer in their bid to end a five-game losing streak at the PreZero Arena – the club’s worst-ever sequence of Bundesliga home defeats.[/p]
[p]Heidenheim are hardly in the kind of form to take advantage of their opponents’ home misery, but their 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen last Saturday would have felt like a victory to them, especially as they had to fight back twice to earn a point. That result means that Frank Schmidt’s men are now 17th, but there will be fears of an immediate return to the bottom of the table, as FCH have lost all three of their league away games this season, scoring just once in the process, rendering them the only Bundesliga side yet to collect a single away point this term.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The very short H2H history between these sides saw Hoffenheim win the first such competitive encounter 3-2 in August 2023, with three draws contested since then.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Hoffenheim have led at half-time just once in their last 12 league matches.[/p]
[p]Hoffenheim have lost six of the last 12 Bundesliga home games that they have started as betting favourites (W3, D3).[/p]
[p]Heidenheim have conceded first in seven of their last eight Bundesliga encounters.[/p]
[p]None of Heidenheim’s last nine away league fixtures have produced more than 3.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Grischa Prömel rounded off the scoring for Hoffenheim against St. Pauli, and another strike from him here could promise an entertaining affair, as six of the last seven matches he has found the net in have featured over 3.5 goals. Heidenheim’s Budu Zivzivadze has fond memories of this fixture, having scored against Hoffenheim the last time that they met – a goal which has contributed to three of his last four strikes coming after half-time.[/p]
[p]Hoffenheim appear to have no new injuries, but Mikkel Kaufmann will miss out for Heidenheim after going off against Bremen with a leg fracture.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Picking a result here seems tricky, so it may be safer to look elsewhere for a bet, such as the over 10.5 match corners market, which would have paid out in four of Hoffenheim’s last five games.[/p]
