Heidenheim vs B. Monchengladbach prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-02-28 14:30.
[p]Heidenheim’s relegation-threatened campaign initially started with such promise after winning their opening two Bundesliga matches of the season, but, 23 rounds down, those two triumphs account for half their league victories across the entire campaign. They looked on course to finally add another last week at RB Leipzig but relinquished a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 which stretched their winless league streak to seven matches (D2, L5).[/p]
[p]That’s the longest active winless run in the division, while their seven points accumulated at home this season remains the lowest of any Bundesliga team. With all seven of their home games against sides starting this round inside the top ten ending in defeat, it’s hard to see Heidenheim snapping that run and cutting a sizeable pre-round six-point gap to safety. [/p]
[p]Given the home side’s struggles, Borussia Mönchengladbach will see this as an ideal game to bounce back from their surprise 3-0 home defeat to Augsburg. That halted what had been a solid four-match unbeaten league run (W3, D1), and perhaps being back on the road can work in their favour with both trips in that sequence delivering wins, which affords them the chance to win three successive Bundesliga away games for the first time since May 2020. [/p]
[p]H2H form will only serve to boost their tag as favourites as they’re unbeaten in five competitive matches against Heidenheim (W4, D1). But none of the two games played at this venue within that run delivered a victory inside 90 minutes (D2) so the away side shouldn’t be overconfident, especially as anything less than a victory could see their five-point gap to the top four widen. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Heidenheim forward Marvin Pieringer has five league goals this season, and he might feel optimistic about adding to that here given he scored last time out against Leipzig and also in the reverse H2H (L 3-2) – both goals came from the penalty spot. Tim Kleindienst has been in red-hot form of late, netting the decisive goal in each of Mönchengladbach’s last two away league wins.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Ahead of the round, Mönchengladbach have scored a joint-league high nine headed goals this season. [/p]
