*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Heidenheim halted their three-game losing streak with an impressive 1-0 victory at Stuttgart last weekend.
While they have been impressive on the road, winning two of their last three away matches, Frank Schmidt's troops have lost seven of their last eight home games across all competitions.
Like their opponents, Bochum are going through a rough patch. They are currently on a six-match winless streak in the Bundesliga, earning only one point in that stretch.
Interestingly, this game is a must-win for Bochum, who will be relegated from the Bundesliga if they lose.
With only three matches left to play, Dieter Hecking’s men are nine points from safety, and four points behind Heidenheim, who currently occupy the relegation/promotion playoff spot.
Ahead of their encounter, Heidenheim are the expected winners at 5/4 (2.25). Teams with these odds generally have a 44.4% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Marvin Pieringer
Marvin Pieringer is Heidenheim's top scorer in the Bundesliga this season with seven goals and two assists. The former Schalke 04 forward has not scored or registered an assist in his last four appearances for the club. He will fancy his chances of getting back to scoring ways against one of the league's worst defences.
