Heidenheim vs Bayern Munich prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-04-05 13:30.
[p]Heidenheim started this round in 11th and a comfortable ten points clear of the Bundesliga relegation zone. Staying in the league will represent a success for the league newbies, meaning you could argue their season objective is already accomplished. Their recent form would align with any belief they might have taken their foot off the pedal though, as they’ve failed to win any of their past six league games (D3, L3).[/p]
[p]The hosts might see this game against a wounded Bayern Munich as a free hit, and that freedom could help them overcome the inferiority complex they appear to have been suffering from throughout most of the campaign so far. Heidenheim won just one of their 12 games against sides starting this round in the top seven (D3, L8), and were denied from improving that record last round away to Stuttgart when the third-placed outfit netted an equaliser during second-half stoppage time (D 3-3). [/p]
[p]It was a painful weekend in what has been a season to forget for Bayern as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to rivals Borussia Dortmund. The result led to manager Thomas Tuchel conceding his side will be relinquishing their Bundesliga crown to runaway leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who finished the gameweek with a comfortable 13-point lead. As a result, Bayern now risk losing successive Bundesliga outings for just the second time this season. [/p]
[p]The visitors will aim to restore some pride here, and nine goals scored across their last two H2Hs (W2) does suggest they should arrive into the contest confident, particularly when taking into account the Bavarians’ dominant record against the league’s lower-ranked sides. They have secured wins in all but one of their 12 games against sides sitting 11th or below, and the reverse H2H (4-2) was one of seven games against such sides that saw Bayern net 3+ goals. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Tim Kleindienst has scored for Heidenheim against each of the Bundesliga’s top-three clubs this season, including a strike against Bayern in November. Harry Kane had scored six goals in three games for Bayern prior to his blank against Dortmund, and looking further back he also netted twice in the reverse. [/p]
