Match Prediction: Heidenheim vs. Borussia Monchengladbach
The last round match was dominated by Gladbach until the dismissal of their goalkeeper Jonas Omlin. In the upcoming game, Borussia's problem in goal will be particularly acute, as first-choice goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas is almost certainly out for the season. Substitute Tobias Sippel played his first match in two years and conceded three goals from four shots on target against Augsburg. In their last 6 away Bundesliga matches, Gerardo Seoane's side conceded 14 goals.
Heidenheim struggles in attack but now has a good chance to add to their goal tally. In their last five home league games, they failed to score against Mainz and St. Pauli, but these clubs are among the top four least conceding teams in the tournament. Additionally, Frank Schmidt's side has scored against Gladbach in all three Bundesliga encounters, including twice in the away match in the first round.
My prediction: Heidenheim Individual Total Over 1
