Freiburg vs Heidenheim prediction: Back hosts to triumph

Key Stats

  • Freiburg beat relegation favourites Bochum 1-0 in their last Bundesliga outing.
  • Heidenheim have lost three games on the bounce in the Bundesliga.
  • Freiburg have won three of their last four league games at home and they notched three times in each of those victories.
  • Heidenheim conceded 16 times in their last five Bundesliga away assignments combined.

Correct score prediction: Freiburg 3-1 Heidenheim

Heidenheim have been leaking too many goals on the road this term and having shipped 16 times in their last five away assignments alone, they could be in trouble again when they visit a Freiburg side that has notched three times in three of their last four matches on home soil.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Freiburg the clear favourites

  • HOME: 7/10 (1.70) – 58.8%
  • DRAW: 11/4 (3.75) – 26.7%
  • AWAY: 15/4 (4.75) – 21.1%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Freiburg snapped a three-game losing streak with a timely 1-0 win at bottom-club Bochum last time out and they have a 58.8% chance of following that victory up with another against Heidenheim.

Heidenheim meanwhile, are winless in four games and they have been priced as 15/4 underdogs here due to their dismal away record (P10 L7). View more of our latest football predictions and analysis on our dedicated page.

Höfler to patrol midfield again
