Freiburg vs. Heidenheim: Match Prediction
The success in the last round should help Julian Schuster's side recover from their recent setbacks. Moreover, the upcoming match will be at home, where Freiburg has shown excellent results, winning 4 of their last 6 league games, with the only defeat coming against Bayern and a goalless draw with Mainz, who are aiming for European spots this season. The upcoming opponent has more modest objectives.
Heidenheim is struggling in their battle for survival. The team has lost 10 of their last 12 league matches (1 win, 1 draw), and only the even worse results of two other bottom teams have kept Frank Schmidt's side from sinking to the very bottom. Freiburg defeated them decisively in the first round at home (0-3), and Heidenheim has suffered 6 losses in their last 7 away Bundesliga games.
My prediction: Freiburg to win
