Notably, Augsburg has scored only 21 goals in this Bundesliga campaign, with only three teams performing worse in this regard.

In the previous round, the team lost to direct competitor St. Pauli 0-2. The club has secured only one victory in their last 10 league matches (1 draw, 8 losses). Heidenheim is in 16th place in the standings, trailing the safety of 15th place by 3 points.

Augsburg vs. Heidenheim: Match Prediction
Augsburg has adopted a defensive approach in recent home matches, conceding only 6 goals in their last 6 league games. As a result, the average goal count in these matches is just 1.67 goals per game. This defensive focus has paid off, with the club suffering only two defeats in their last 6 encounters (3 wins, 1 draw). It's worth noting that the team failed to earn points only against Bayer Leverkusen (0-2) and Stuttgart (0-1), both currently in the top four of the standings.
Heidenheim has disappointed their fans with recent away results. The club has lost 5 of their last 6 away league matches, drawing the other with Werder Bremen (3-3). Additionally, the last head-to-head encounter between the teams at Augsburg's ground ended 1-0. I expect a similar outcome in the upcoming game. My prediction: 1X and Total under 3.5 goals
