Heidenheim
Frank Schmidt's side were defeated 0-2 by Borussia Dortmund at home in their last match. An early sending-off for Heidenheim influenced the outcome.

Hamburg vs. Heidenheim: Match Prediction
Merlin Polzin's side has struggled in the early Bundesliga season, particularly in creating chances. Hamburg is one of only two clubs yet to score in the current championship. Additionally, the team has not been prolific even at home, managing to score more than once in only two of their last 11 home league matches.
Heidenheim has recently performed well on the road, losing just twice in their last seven league matches (3 wins, 2 draws). This success is largely due to solid defensive performances, as they have conceded more than one goal only against Leipzig and Eintracht in their last eight away Bundesliga encounters. Moreover, they managed three clean sheets during this period.
I don't expect the hosts to make significant progress in attack, so I don't foresee many goals from them. My prediction: Hamburg individual total under 1.5
