Hoffenheim vs Heidenheim prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-03-08 16:30.
[p]Hoffenheim have experienced a revival of late, going unbeaten in their last three Bundesliga games (W2, D1) which has seen them secure more points in that time than in their ten league outings prior to this run (W1, D3, L6). Their reward is breathing space in the relegation battle, as they head into the weekend eight points clear of the bottom three and hunting their first set of back-to-back Bundesliga wins this season. [/p]
[p]Despite their team’s recent uptick in form, the PreZero Arena faithful might still have their doubts since Hoffenheim are winless in their last eight home matches in all competitions (D4, L4). The Kraichgauers’ downfall in the league has been their woeful defence, with Hoffenheim without a clean sheet in any of their last 32 Bundesliga home matches – the longest such streak in competition history![/p]
[p]Their next visitors are Heidenheim, a side who are winless in their last eight top-flight matches (D2, L6) and as a result, are heading into matchday 25 sitting bottom of the table for the very first time. Their dismal tally of just 15 points is a huge concern, particularly given no team with 15 or fewer points to their name after 24 games has ever gone on to avoid relegation. [/p]
[p]Heidenheim’s recent away form paints an even worse picture, since Frank Schmidt’s men are currently without a domestic win on the road in their last ten such outings (D2, L8). H2H history offers little inspiration for Heidenheim either, who are without a victory in three top-flight meetings between the pair, with the reverse fixture ending in a 0-0 draw.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramarić scored in both H2Hs last season, with both goals coming from the penalty spot and serving as the last goal of the match. Marvin Pieringer is the only current Heidenheim player who has scored against Hoffenheim, and he might be confident of doing so again, as five of his seven Bundesliga goals since have come away from home. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: Hoffenheim have never lost a Bundesliga home match against a side sitting bottom of the table (W8, D5). [/p]
