Match Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen vs. Heidenheim
Leverkusen are the favorites in this encounter, but I do not expect a very high-scoring game from the hosts. Bayer faced additional physical demands midweek due to their participation in the Champions League and have not been particularly prolific in attack recently. In their last 11 home Bundesliga matches, the team has scored more than two goals only twice, and in five of those games, they managed just one goal.
Heidenheim rarely achieves positive results away from home, but they fight for points until the end and do not allow opponents to create many scoring opportunities. In their last 12 away league matches, the club has conceded more than two goals only twice and even kept a clean sheet in three games during this period. I believe Heidenheim will manage to contain Leverkusen's attack enough to avoid conceding too many. My prediction: Bayer Leverkusen Individual Total Under 2.5 goals
