Union Berlin vs Heidenheim Prediction & Match Preview

• None of Union Berlin’s seven games since the turn of the year has seen three or more goals scored.
• Heidenheim lost just one of the previous nine Bundesliga outings.
• Four of the previous five head-to-head clashes between these rivals finished with fewer than three goals scored.

Heidenheim’s eight-game unbeaten run came to an end last weekend. Sovereign Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen had too much for Frank Schmidt’s troops, beating them 2-1 seven days ago at Voith-Arena. Heidenheim will be hoping to bounce back on Saturday afternoon. They travel to the capital to take on resurged Union Berlin side in Gameweek No 23.

Union Berlin escaped the danger zone with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim. They have three wins in the last five league affairs and are now eight points above the relegation area. The team’s resurgence started with the appointment of Croatian manager Nenad Bjelica.

Bjelica has obviously found the right defensive formula. Union Berlin have been among the toughest teams to break down in 2024. Union Berlin have conceded only four goals in seven league outings since the turn of the year. The run looks beyond impressive if we know the opposition included the likes of RB Leipzig or Bayern Munich.

Recent Meetings

The home court advantage represented a massive role in the short history of this matchup.

Union Berlin thus have three wins, two draws, and one loss in the previous six home outings against Heidenheim.

Only one of the previous five H2H meetings between these rivals provided three or more goals.

Union Berlin vs Heidenheim Prediction

Both Union Berlin and Heidenheim have been excellent defensively so far in the second half of the season. We have so many reasons to expect a low-scoring scenario when they come across each other. The return game at Voith-Arena is one. Heidenheim celebrated a 1-0 victory over Union Berlin in September last year. Furthermore, none of Union Berlin’s seven league games in 2024 has seen three or more goals. Four of Heidenheim’s last six Bundesliga affairs ended with fewer than three goals scored. The Under 2.5 goals FT pick has to be the way to go at the 1.80 odds.

It is very hard to separate the two outfits at this point. Union Berlin will enter the tie in higher spirits after successive 1-0 wins but Heidenheim lost just one of the previous nine Bundesliga outings. Looking at the odds, the value is with the visitors who are 1.80 to leave Stadion An der Alten Forsterei undefeated on Saturday afternoon.
