Heidenheim
In Matchday 13, the team suffered a 2-4 defeat against Bayern Munich. This result extended Frank Schmidt's side's winless streak in the league to eight matches (1 draw, 7 losses). Heidenheim is positioned 16th in the Bundesliga standings, trailing the safe 15th spot by just one point. Notably, the club has scored only five goals in home league matches, which is one of the lowest in this tournament.
- The club has lost 4 of their last 5 home games in the Bundesliga.
- At least one team failed to score in 5 of Heidenheim's last 6 home league matches.
- The club conceded first in 4 of their last 5 home games in this tournament.
Stuttgart
In the previous round of the league, Sebastian Hoeneß's side defeated Union Berlin 3-2. In their last six matches in this tournament, the team has lost only once (3 wins, 2 draws). Heading into Matchday 15, Stuttgart is in 8th place in the Bundesliga standings, just one point shy of the European competition spots.
- Sebastian Hoeneß's side scored at least twice in 5 of their last 6 matches in this tournament.

Heidenheim vs. Stuttgart: Match Prediction
The goal-scoring rate in Heidenheim's recent Bundesliga matches has increased significantly, mainly due to their defensive issues: Frank Schmidt's side conceded 16 goals in their last four games in this tournament. Their attacking performance is slightly better, as the club does not sit back and even scores against strong opponents. This is confirmed by recent encounters with Bayer Leverkusen (2-5) and Bayern Munich (2-4).
Stuttgart has a reputation for being a high-scoring team, and in the 2024/25 Bundesliga season, they continue to play open football – their matches average 3.8 goals per game. The club excels in attack but makes defensive errors, resulting in at least four goals being scored in 5 of Stuttgart's last 7 Bundesliga matches.
I believe the upcoming game will also be a goal-fest. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
