Heidenheim vs Freiburg Prediction & Betting Tips (21 September)

For the first in its history in the Bundesliga, FC Heidenheim already caused a sensation last season by overcoming the fight for maintenance from afar and even taking 8th final place in the ranking last year, which will allow it to play in the Conference League in the coming weeks. Building on its momentum, this team got off to an excellent start this year in the league by winning its first two matches against Sankt Pauli 0-2 and Augsburg 4-0. Unfortunately for him, FCH was called to order last week by Borussia Dortmund 4-2. Despite this setback, he still occupies a place at the foot of the podium with 6 points on the clock.

For its part, SC Friborg wants to find a new dynamic this year after the departure of its historic coach Christian Streich during the off-season. Disappointing 10th in the ranking last May, the Black Forest club would like to return to Europe in the coming years, having become accustomed to distinguishing itself on the continental scene for some time. Victorious on the first day against Stuttgart 3-1, the Brazilians from Brigsau then had to surrender against Bayern Munich 2-0 but they resumed their march forward by winning against Bochum 2-1 to return to contact of their opponent of the day. 

Heidenheim will not be able to come forward in full force for this meeting. Indeed, midfielder Keller (knee), rookie Niehues, striker Thomalla and replacement goalkeeper Feller are not currently operational, all injured. FCH can still count on most of its offensive elements in good shape at the start of the season. We think of the young nugget Paul Wanner (18 years old) who has already scored 2 goals and delivered an assist in 3 games this season. We will also monitor the performances of Breunig (2 goals) and Pieringer (1 goal, 1 assist). Affected by a muscle problem, the potentially starting Austrian center forward Michael Gregoritsch (7 goals, 4 assists last year) must yet to forfeit.

He is not the only one to have to throw in the towel since the too fragile Kyereh, the important defender Gulde and the replacement striker Philipp are also absent. All were joined in the infirmary by playmaker Merlin Röhl who was injured against Bochum last week. With 2 goals and an assist, Austrian striker Adamu is showing good form at the moment. This is also the case for the Japanese Doan (1 goal) and the Italian Grifo (2 assists).
