Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (20 April)

The first season in the history of FC Heidenheim in the Bundesliga can clearly be considered successful by the locals who never really had to fear for their retention in the elite. Author of rather consistent performances throughout the year, the locals occupy a very suitable 10th place in the ranking with a fairly comfortable lead of 8 points over the play-off before the last 5 days. And even if they are practically assured of maintaining their position, the newly promoted players are not letting up their efforts at the end of the season. Eye-catching against Mönchengladbach 1-1 and Stuttgart 3-3, they were then able to bring down Bayern Munich 3-2 before obtaining another draw against Bochum 1-1 last weekend.

Opposite, RB Leipzig is fighting above all to save the essentials at the end of the season, namely finishing in the top 4 to secure their ticket for the next Champions League. The RasenBall Sport has in fact lost too many points along the way, particularly in the heart of winter, to hope to accompany the best in the race for the title and the podium but it is now in very good form. Marco Rose's men have just won 4 victories over the last 5 days played Darmstadt 2-0, Cologne 1-5, Mainz 0-0, Friborg 1-4 and finally Wolfsburg 3-0 last weekend, which allows them to maintain 4th place, with a better goal difference than Dortmund, 5th.

Somewhat incredibly, at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 14 of the previous 15 RB Leipzig games at this level, and they are without a goal in eight away matches on the bounce. As for Heidenheim, both teams have scored in just five of their last 20 home fixtures in the Bundesliga, so don’t expect too many fireworks.
