Heidenheim vs Werder Bremen prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-10-17 13:30.
[p]Heidenheim face Werder Bremen with the hosts sitting bottom of the Bundesliga before this weekend, while the visitors will be looking to kick on after earning a priceless win last time out.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Heidenheim will have stewed over their truly awful start to the season during the international break, having lost five of their six Bundesliga matches this term (W1) largely thanks to scoring a league-low four goals. The three points they possess is their lowest tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign, but perhaps some encouragement can be taken from those points coming in a 2-1 win over Augsburg in their last home encounter, despite that being just their third victory in their last 19 Bundesliga games at Voith-Arena (D2, L14).[/p]
[p]Bremen endured a painful end to September after suffering 3-0 and 4-0 defeats to Freiburg and Bayern Munich respectively, but the mood was lifted at the club in early October with a 1-0 win over St. Pauli. The River Islanders now hit the road having lost three of their four away outings this season, but should still be confident ahead of this trip, since they have won their last six league games on their travels against teams sitting bottom of the table. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]These sides produced 11 goals in their two H2Hs last season – a 3-3 draw and a 4-1 win for Werder Bremen – so Heidenheim head coach Frank Schmidt will be eyeing his revenge, having never lost to Bremen manager Horst Steffen in four previous meetings (W2, D2).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Heidenheim have conceded first in six of their last seven Bundesliga encounters.[/p]
[p]Heidenheim scored before half-time in only one of their last eight home matches.[/p]
[p]None of Bremen’s last four games have seen both teams score.[/p]
[p]Each of Bremen’s last five away league matches produced over 3.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Heidenheim’s Luca Kerber scored home and away against Bremen last season, with both efforts contributing to his last five goals having come after half-time. Looking to steal the show will be Samuel Mbangula, who has made it 1-0 to help guide his team to victory in four of his last six scoring appearances.[/p]
[p]Heidenheim are set to welcome back Budu Zivzivadze from suspension on Saturday. An ankle problem will keep Bremen’s Felix Agu out for some time, but their first-choice goalkeeper Mio Backhaus could return from injury here.[/p]
