Our prediction for the Heidenheim vs Union Berlin match
The "Red-Blues" made their debut in the country’s top division in 2023. They did it in the most successful way possible: a club that many predicted would struggle for survival, ended up collecting 42 points. By surpassing Freiburg and Werder Bremen on additional criteria, they secured 8th place. Meanwhile, Union Berlin, which had steadily progressed over the years, dropped from 4th to 15th place, with Bochum, which ended up in the relegation playoffs, having the same 33 points.
Frank Schmidt and his team made their European debut this season, starting with five victories, including qualification. Then, they added just one point in the last three rounds but still managed to reach the playoffs. In the Bundesliga, they began with two wins but then lost eleven of the next thirteen matches, winning only against Mainz in September. They were also knocked out early in the cup. Bo Svensson was appointed in the capital in the summer but lasted only half a year. The Dane started well, but then his team was beaten by Arminia in the cup, and in the league, they have not won in the last eight matches.
The hosts score 1.2 goals per match but concede 1.2 more on average. The capital club manages to score 0.93 goals per match away but concedes 1.27.
