Will FCA also win their third Bundesliga match against Heidenheim?
FC Augsburg started this 62nd Bundesliga season with great ambitions. The good performances under Danish coach Jess Thorup should be further stabilized this season. However, the Fuggerstädter had to settle for a draw against Werder Bremen at the start and the bookies’ odds for a Heidenheim vs Augsburg bet are also rather pessimistic in terms of an away win
Because last season’s surprise team and upcoming opponents Heidenheim are already riding a wave of success early on in the new season. Schmidt’s eleven managed an away win against their fearsome opponents of recent years right at the start of the Bundesliga season – although victories away from home are not exactly the Swabians’ strong suit
The FCH have more experience of winning at home on the Schlossberg. Since Heidenheim is traditionally a strong home team, the Heidenheim vs Augsburg prediction of the bookmakers is in favor of the Brenzstädter. However, the Bavarian Swabians won both duels last season
A revenge for that is still to come and in our Heidenheim vs Augsburg betting tip, we assume that FCH will pose some problems for the Fuggerstädter in their own stadium this time. Above all, the FCA’s revamped defense could have some problems
Heidenheim vs. Augsburg prediction KI
According to supercomputer BETSiE and their Heidenheim vs. Augsburg AI prediction, soccer fans at the Voith Arena can expect a few goals in the game next Saturday. Heidenheim will score 1.42 goals – purely statistically speaking – according to the AI prediction, while the visitors from the Fuggerstadt will score 1.36 goals. The odds of our selected provider Betano, which assume a probability of around 62% for both sides to score, are therefore in line with the BETSiE forecast.
Like the bookmakers, BETSiE also estimates that the hosts are slightly more likely to win than the visitors. It is also interesting to note that the Heidenheim vs Augsburg AI prediction differs only minimally from the bookmakers’ odds calculation. Conversely, this means that there are no value bets on the three-way market for this match
Heidenheim – Statistics & current form
As if there had been no major upheaval in the summer, 1. FC Heidenheim have performed so far in the new season. So far, Wanner, Scienza & Co. have completely forgotten the departure of the entire offensive line from the previous season. The victory in the cup was followed by two away wins in a row – something that has not happened too often in the recent past for the Brenzstädter.
Heidenheim are known to feel much more comfortable in their own stadium. After the Swabians’ strong performances so far, it’s no surprise that the Heidenheim v Augsburg odds are leaning towards the hosts
Can they get their next three-pointer against Augsburg?
The previous week’s performance in Hamburg can be described as mature and ruthless. Schmidt’s eleven were not necessarily the better team, but the victory was won almost in the style of a top team. As Heidenheim made the most of their few opportunities, they ended up with their first three-pointer of the new season. And only the second win at the Millerntor at the tenth attempt, as well as the first triumph over St. Pauli after seven previous unsuccessful attempts.
The Swabians’ efficiency also appears to be continuing with the revamped attacking line-up. Once again, Heidenheim far exceeded their expected xG value (2 goals at 1.1 xG) – which was almost the norm in the previous season. And the upcoming opponent was also extremely efficient last weekend (2 goals at 1 xG). Our Heidenheim vs Augsburg betting tip is therefore that spectators will get to see a few more goals at the Schlossberg next weekend
Predicted line-up of Heidenheim:
Augsburg – Statistics & current form
FC Augsburg want to finally shed their gray mouse image this season and take the next step forward. The team’s performances have stabilized noticeably since Jess Thorup took over from the hapless Enrico Maaßen. Nevertheless, the FCA clearly ran out of steam in the final phase of the season. After the Fuggerstädter had been on course for the European Cup for a while, they lost their last five games of the season
However, eleventh place overall was still a good result; only twice before has Augsburg finished higher in the Bundesliga at the end of a season. The draw against Bremen at the start of the season was also a step in the right direction and ended the negative run. But being “sexy” also includes victories. However, the Heidenheim v Augsburg odds show that the bookies are showing a fair amount of skepticism that the first win of the season will be achieved on the Schlossberg
Can we secure our third win in a row against Heidenheim?
In order to reach the next level this season, the squad was turned inside out during the summer break. However, there is still room for improvement, at least defensively, as evidenced by the two goals conceded against Bremen. Captain and pillar Jeffrey Gouweleeuw will probably need some time to stabilize the processes with his new teammates. We’re therefore predicting that Heidenheim will once again fail to produce a clean sheet against Augsburg
Demirovic gone, goal threat still there
In offense, however, the team has compensated well for the departure of star striker Ermin Demirovic in the two games so far this season. Six goals have been scored in the two games so far this season. We therefore expect Augsburg to score at least one goal again at the Voith-Arena, especially as Heidenheim’s opponents last season were the Fuggerstädter. With a free bet without deposit, you can even eliminate any risk when betting on goals from both sides
Predicted Augsburg line-up:
Heidenheim – Augsburg head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Heidenheim vs Augsburg betting odds have not been offered by the bookmakers for too long. After four previous friendlies, the two duels in the last Bundesliga season were the first two competitive matches between the teams. Here, the Fuggerstädter, who won both duels, were able to gain an advantage.
After a wild 5:2 victory on the Schlossberg in the first half of the season, the Bavarian Swabians recorded a narrow 1:0 win at home in a match characterized by few highlights in the second half. Will victory number three against the Schmidt team follow next Saturday?
Heidenheim – Augsburg betting tip
The fact that Heidenheim lost both games against their upcoming opponents last season was certainly no coincidence. In Augsburg, Schmidt’s team will face an opponent that is similar to Heidenheim and therefore probably less of a challenge than a strong team. Augsburg will be poisonous and strong in tackles, virtues that Heidenheim usually display.
That’s why we think the Bavarian Swabians will score at least one point in the Voith Arena in our Heidenheim vs Augsburg betting tip. Last season, the Fuggerstädter were able to mercilessly exploit the inexperience of the then promoted team. After leading 2:0, Heidenheim still lost 2:5 on the Schlossberg. However, such a resounding victory seems utopian this Sunday
Because the Brenzstädter have now clearly arrived in the German top flight and have been able to stabilize defensively in particular since that appearance in autumn 2023. Nevertheless, we believe the Fuggerstädter are capable of scoring in the Voith Arena, as the “new FCA” is already working offensively. Augsburg also dominated both matches last season. However, the Fuggerstädter cannot seem to do without the obligatory goal conceded, which is of course also due to Jess Thorup’s attacking style of play.
Only three times since the start of the last season has a clean sheet been recorded, one of which was in the home game against Heidenheim. And this time? Augsburg have only failed to score four times in their last 17 away games. Heidenheim only failed to score in two home games last season.
That’s why we’re predicting a high-scoring game between Heidenheim and Augsburg and also expect both teams to get on the scoreboard next Sunday
