In the previous round, the team suffered a 0-1 defeat away to Augsburg, ending their record seven-match unbeaten streak in this championship (2 wins, 5 draws).

Heidenheim
Frank Schmidt's side, on the other hand, ended their winless streak in the last round. The victory over Holstein (3-1) was the team's first in their last 10 league matches (3 draws, 6 losses). Moreover, Heidenheim scored more than two goals in the Bundesliga 2024/25 for only the third time. In the standings, the club remains in 17th place, but they have managed to narrow the gap to the playoff zone to just one point.

Wolfsburg vs. Heidenheim: Match Prediction
Ralph Hasenhüttl's side remains one of the most prolific teams in the current championship, although Wolfsburg's recent performances have been modest in attack. However, in the upcoming match, the club may delight with goals, as they face an opponent not known for reliable defense.
Heidenheim has conceded in 10 consecutive Bundesliga matches, with at least two goals in 7 of those encounters. Clearly, with such defensive statistics, achieving good results is challenging. The victory in the last round was only the second for Frank Schmidt's side this year, while the team has not won away in the Bundesliga for 10 matches.
Wolfsburg has performed well at home, remaining unbeaten in 8 of their last 9 matches in this tournament (3 wins, 5 draws). However, it should be noted that during this period, the club has only kept a clean sheet twice. I believe that the opponent, in need of points, will also put pressure on the home side's defense.
Considering these facts, my prediction: Wolfsburg will not lose and Total over 2.5 goals
