Correct score prediction: Heidenheim 2-2 Werder Bremen
Heidenheim have had a difficult start to the Bundesliga season, recording only one victory in six top-flight matches, and that undoubtedly is not the return they will be satisfied with, as they are confined to the basement of the standings.
The solitary victory of the hosts came in gameweek five, but they could not build on that momentum, as they fell to a 1-0 loss to Greuther Furth in their last Bundesliga outing.
Meanwhile, Bremen earned a crucial triumph in their last league contest, when they got past St Pauli by the odd goal, making it their first victory in four weeks. Considering the recent results of both sides, a stalemate could be on the cards in this fixture.
