On Saturday afternoon, in-form Heidenheim host Wolfsburg at the Voith-Arena as both teams look to move up the Bundesliga table.
Heidenheim form guideThe home team goes into this clash on the back of a four-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga. In fact, a 1-1 draw at Koln last time out ended a three-game winning run in the German top flight.
The recent good form has led to talk of a European challenge this season, as Franck Schmidt's team are just six points outside the league’s top six.
Heidenheim has been particularly strong on home soil in their maiden Bundesliga campaign and has won five of their previous seven league games. The good run includes a current four-game unbeaten streak consisting of three wins and a draw.
One of the biggest factors in Heidenheim’s stellar home form this season has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in six of their eight Bundesliga games on home soil this season.
Wolfsburg form guideNiko Kovac’s team is in 11th place in the table, trailing their hosts by a point in the standings. This season has been an inconsistent one for the Wolves.
Their recent Bundesliga form hasn’t been great either, as the visitors have won just one of their previous five league games, having suffered three defeats in the poor run.
Wolfsburg have been poor travellers in recent months, as they have won just one of their previous eight league games on their travels, having suffered a disappointing six defeats.
Their recent away games have at least offered goals, as six of their last nine matches in the Bundesliga have produced over 2.5 goals.
What am I am backing?Heidenheim has looked confident of late in the Bundesliga, and I am backing Franck Schmidt's team to record another home win in the German top flight.
