The Matchday 13 Bundesliga clash between Heidenheim and Freiburg will take place on December 6 at the Voith-Arena. Heidenheim vs. Freiburg: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Heidenheim
In the last round, Frank Schmidt's side triumphed over Union in an away encounter (2-1). As a result, Heidenheim managed to end a six-match winless streak in the league (2 draws, 4 losses). Additionally, it was only the fourth match in this Bundesliga season where the club conceded fewer than two goals. With eight points, the team climbed to 16th place in the standings. It is also worth noting that Heidenheim, along with Augsburg, is among the two worst clubs in terms of goals conceded in the current championship (27 each).
- The club has not won in 9 of their last 10 home matches in the Bundesliga (3 draws, 6 losses).
- The team scored exactly 1 or 2 goals in 5 of their last 7 home league matches.
- Both teams scored in 5 of Heidenheim's last 7 home Bundesliga matches.

Freiburg
In the last round, Julian Schuster's side confidently defeated Mainz at home (4-0). As a result, Freiburg secured only their second win in their last eight Bundesliga matches (4 draws, 2 losses).

Match Prediction: Heidenheim vs. Freiburg
This season, Frank Schmidt's side has not impressed with their results, particularly lacking in attacking quality. Even at home, Heidenheim rarely manages to deliver a significant number of effective actions in front of the opponent's goal: the team has scored six goals in six home matches in the current Bundesliga season. Previously, the club was not very prolific either: in 8 of their last 10 home league matches, Heidenheim did not score more than once.
Freiburg also cannot boast outstanding scoring stats: in this Bundesliga season, the team has only scored six goals in six away matches. In fact, in 3 of their last 4 away league encounters, the players failed to score at all. Considering these pre-match statistics, I do not expect a very high-scoring game. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
