Match Prediction: Leipzig vs. Heidenheim
Marco Rose's team has struggled, securing only one win in their last five league matches, but they have a good chance to earn three points in the upcoming game. They face one of the league's bottom teams, which also has to contend with commitments in the Europa Conference League.
Heidenheim has lost 7 of their last 8 Bundesliga away matches, with their only draw coming against Werder Bremen just seconds before the final whistle. It's worth noting how poorly Frank Schmidt's side has defended during this period, conceding 21 goals. Moreover, they have conceded at least two goals in 11 of their last 13 league matches.
Leipzig has won 3 of their last 4 home Bundesliga matches and drew with Bayer Leverkusen. Marco Rose's side has been stronger than Heidenheim in all three previous Bundesliga encounters. I believe they can extend this winning streak to four matches.
My prediction: Leipzig to win and Total Over 1.5 goals
