Heidenheim vs Koln Prediction & Match Preview

Heidenheim vs Koln Prediction

• Seven of Heidenheim’s previous eight league games saw goals scored at both ends.
• Koln won just 1 of 16 away outings in this term of Bundesliga.
• Heidenheim lost only one of the previous eight league affairs.

Koln produced an amazing comeback to dispatch Union Berlin in the last weekend’s relegation six-pointer at RheinEnergieStadion. The win kept their slim hopes of the top-flight survival going into the final day of the season.

To secure the playoff spot, Koln need to beat Heidenheim and Union Berlin to lose at home to Freiburg. A wing of four goals also needs to go in Koln’s favour. It is too big a longshot for head coach Timo Schultz and his troops but the last weekend’s win will certainly give them a big boost.

Heidenheim are 9th in the league standings. They could potentially secure the UEFA Conference League spot with a win here and Freiburg’s loss at Union Berlin on the final day. Heidenheim played a 1-1 stalemate away at Freiburg seven days ago.

Heidenheim still search for their maiden win over Koln. The hosts have two draws and one loss in the previous three clashes against the Billy Goats. The outfits shared spoils in a 1-1 stalemate in the return match played in January this year at RheinEnergieStadion. None of the previous three head-to-head clashes between these rivals provided three or more goals.

Heidenheim have been playing attacking football in the second half of the season. Seven of their last eight league games provided goals at both ends. The run includes the last weekend’s stalemate at Freiburg. It was an open game packed with chances on both ends.

Koln, on the other side, go into this on the back of a 3-2 comeback win over Union Berlin. Based on the performances these two outfits offered last Saturday, we have to back goals at both ends as the main betting option here at the 1.50 odds.

Koln desperately need a win to potentially rescue themselves at the death. However, they’ve managed just a single victory on the road since the start of the season. On the other side, Heidenheim own a positive record at home with 6 wins, 5 draws, and 5 defeats in 16 league fixtures at Voith-Arena.

Last but not least, the hosts also need a win for an outside shot at playing European football next season. We will back Heidenheim to win or draw double chance pick at the 1.53 odds.
