Correct score prediction: Wolfsburg 2-1 Heidenheim

Heidenheim are at the bottom of the Bundesliga table with 12 points from 17 games. They are without a win in their last four games and have not kept a clean sheet in their last 20 games.

There have been over 2.5 goals in five of Wolfsburg's last six games, and in Heidenheim's last eight games, which is why it is safe to predict a 2-1 scoreline in favour of the home side.

DRAW: 3/1 (4.0) – 25%

AWAY: 19/5 (4.8) – 20.8%

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

We can clearly see that Wolfsburg are favourites for this game. After a difficult start to the season, they have jumped to 11th in the Bundesliga table, and have picked up three wins out of their last five.

Given their recent impressive form, the bookmakers have priced them at 13/20 (1.65), with 60.6% chance of winning.

Wolfsburg have scored first in five of their last six meetings against Heidenheim, and we back them to score first again at 8/15 (1.53), with 65.4% implied probability.

The home side have scored in all of their last 10 games, and Heidenheim have done that in five of their last six games. Thus, BTTS – Yes at 8/13 (1.62) is tempting.

There have been under 10.5 corners in each of their last seven meetings between the two sides, and Total corners – Under 10.5 at 4/7 (1.57) is a decent bet.
