Heidenheim

In Matchday 15, Frank Schmidt's side lost to the tournament's underdog, Bochum (0-2). This result extended the club's losing streak to seven matches in the league. The team is in 16th place in the standings, trailing the safe 15th spot by four points, while the gap to their nearest chaser, Holstein Kiel, has shrunk to two points. Notably, Heidenheim has scored the fewest points in home matches in the Bundesliga 2024/25 (4).

• The club has not won in their last six home matches in the league (1 draw, 5 losses).
• At least three goals have been scored in six of Heidenheim's last eight home games in this tournament.
• The team conceded first in five of their last six matches at their stadium in the Bundesliga.

Union

In the last round, Bo Svensson's side lost to Werder (1-4). This result extended the team's winless streak to eight matches in the league (3 draws, 5 losses). The club is in 12th place in the Bundesliga standings, with only a one-point lead over their closest chaser, Augsburg. Notably, Union has scored only 14 goals in this championship – only two clubs have worse records in the tournament.

Poor results in previous games led to a coaching change, with Steffen Baumgart becoming the new head coach.

• The club has lost five of their last six away matches in the league.
• At least one team failed to score in five of Union's last seven away matches in this tournament.
• A goal was scored in the first half in four of the club's last five away games in the Bundesliga.

Heidenheim vs. Union: Match Prediction

The Berlin side has not been able to boast a strong attacking performance in away matches in the Bundesliga 2024/25 – the club has scored only six goals in eight games, and in half of these matches, Bo Svensson's team failed to find the net. It should be noted that the club is preparing for the upcoming match under a new coach, Steffen Baumgart, who is unlikely to improve the team's attack in such a short period.

Frank Schmidt's side also faces clear issues with scoring, particularly at home, where the club has scored only two goals in their last six league matches. I believe that in the upcoming game, both teams will focus on solid defense and are unlikely to delight the audience with a flurry of goals. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
