Bayern Munich vs Heidenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (7 December)

Stripped of its German champion title by Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich intends to react and regain its status as the best team across the Rhine. And all the lights are green for Vincent Kompany's players who are well and truly at the top of the Bundesliga with an already rather comfortable lead of 4 units ahead of their first pursuer, Eintracht Frankfurt. After being able to achieve 5 consecutive victories in the league, the last of which were against Sankt Pauli 0-1 and Augsburg 3-0, the Bavarians were held back last week by Borussia Dortmund in the Klassiker 1-1. They were then knocked out by Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday evening in the German Cup after playing a large part of the match outnumbered. Opposite, it will be time to sound the alarm on the side of FC Heidenheim which sinks a little deeper into the depths of the rankings each week.

Author of a very interesting last season, this team was able to qualify for the Conference League where it occupies a very suitable 9th place. On the other hand, the situation is much more problematic in the championship where the FCH is now in 16th place in the ranking after having only taken one point over the last 7 days. Worse still, Heidenheim remains on 4 losses in a row against Holstein Kiel 1-0, Wolfsburg 1-3, Bayer Leverkusen 5-2 and Eintracht Frankfurt 0-4.

Obviously, the long-injured Japanese defender Ito, the Portuguese midfielder Palhinha, the full-back Stanisic and the midfielder Pavlovic will not be operational for this meeting. The Bavarians also had a real setback last week with the injury of their star striker Harry Kane. The Bundesliga's top scorer with 14 goals suffers from a torn right thigh and risks not playing again before the winter break. Sent off at the start of the match against Bayer in the Cup this week, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer should be suspended this weekend. On the other hand, the French international Olise (7 goals in all competitions), the great hope Musiala (10 goals, 3 assists TCC) and the veteran Müller are good candidates for a place in the 11.

After missing a month of competition , right back Busch made his return last weekend. It was the same for the attackers Léo Scienza and Wanner (2 goals each) and the midfielder Honsak. On the other hand, the long-term absentees Keller and Niehues and the top scorer of this team Pieringer (4 goals, 2 assists) will not be able to challenge the leader this weekend. Midfielder Schöppner (2 goals, 1 goal in C4), for his part, should be able to start.
