Bayer Leverkusen vs Heidenheim prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-11-07 14:30.
[p]After a superb midweek win in Europe, Bayer Leverkusen look to build more winning momentum when they welcome Bundesliga basement-dwellers Heidenheim.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Last weekend’s 3-0 defeat to Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich was Leverkusen’s first league defeat since they appointed Kasper Hjulmand to succeed Erik ten Hag in September (W5, D1), so beating Benfica 1-0 away from home in the Champions League on Wednesday was the ideal response. They’ve also been solid at home and will be confident of returning to winning ways in the league after going unbeaten across their last four Bundesliga games here (W3, D1), and after winning their last two games at the BayArena without conceding, Leverkusen could now string three such victories together for the first time since January 2023. [/p]
[p]Heidenheim sit bottom of the pile in the Bundesliga having won just one of their nine league fixtures this term (D2, L6) and none of their last four (D2, L2), although those two draws have at least kept them in touch with the rest of the division. Those stalemates both came at home, and can’t help them escape the fact that five points after nine Bundesliga matches is their worst-ever tally in the top flight. Form on the road hardly inspires much hope of turnaround starting here, as they possess the Bundesliga’s worst league away record this term (L4), and are on the brink of losing five top-flight away games in a row to equal an unwanted club record.[/p]
