Heidenheim will also upset the bulls on the Schlossberg?

Stuttgart, Dortmund and Munich have already visited Germany’s highest stadium this season. The top teams in the league had one thing in common – they all returned home without a win. Of the leading quintet in the league, only league leaders Leverkusen have taken full points from the Schlossberg so far this season

The mountain air on the Swabian Alb does not seem to be good for the top teams in the Bundesliga – but of course this is less due to the mountain air than to the home-strong hosts. The next top team in the league will do the honors in the Voith Arena next Saturday. Based on previous experience over the course of the season, it is a little surprising that the bookies’ odds for a favorite win in the Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig betting tip are set very low.

One of the main reasons for the bookies’ Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig prediction is probably the strong form of the Bulls and their unblemished record against promoted teams in the top flight so far. Marco Rose’s side have won five of their last six games in the Bundesliga, and the Saxons have never lost to a promoted team in the Bundesliga

And yet this year’s Champions League round of 16 finalists are not immune to slip-ups against the league’s so-called little ones this season either. As the league’s elite have learned the hard way this season, you don’t win on the Schlossberg in passing. Anyone brave enough to place an underdog bet at Betano will be spoiled by the Austrian bookie with increased super odds for this and other top European matches

Heidenheim – statistics & current form

For the upcoming home game, the Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig odds once again show a clear underdog role for Frank Schmidt’s team. Not only in the Bet365 app do the odds for a Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig bet climb into the five-figure range. With a correct bet, the British bookmaker has been benefiting from the abolished betting tax since this year

Heidenheim is not afraid of big names

Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Stuttgart have already upset FCH at the Schlossberg this season. Frank Schmidt’s team even managed a three-pointer against Munich and Stuttgart. The next victim will now be Champions League round of 16 finalists Leipzig, who travel to the Ostalb in impressive form.

Home strength was the basis for the Swabians’ survival in the league this season – relegation is probably only theoretical, albeit still possible. The FCH also fared better away from home in the second half of the season, with the Schmidt side only losing one away game. Most recently, they held fellow relegation candidates Bochum at bay with a draw.

Only four teams have taken full points at home in the Voith Arena this season, while Heidenheim have remained unbeaten at home ten times. Value therefore lies on a Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig betting tip on another unbeaten game for the hosts. Even though the Saxons travel to the Brenz in good form, the promoted team has already proven this season that it can upset the big favorites in its own living room.

Predicted line-up for Heidenheim:

RB Leipzig – Statistics & current form

The battle for fourth place is still razor-thin. Tied on points with BVB, the Saxons are fighting for the last available starting place in next season’s European top flight – the train for third place already seems to have left the station for both teams. Surprisingly, the bookies are very confident in their Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig odds that the Rose-Elf will not slip up at Brenz

Bulls travel to the Ostalb in top form

After being knocked out of the Champions League, RB Leipzig can now concentrate fully on the Bundesliga – because the Bulls were knocked out of the DFB Cup early on this season. The fact that the team only has to concentrate on one competition seems to give RB wings – in line with the motto of the Austrian sponsor. Since their elimination at Real Madrid, the Saxons have celebrated four wins in five games in the Bundesliga (4-1-0).

Nevertheless, a bet on an away win at Heidenheim against RB Leipzig should not be the first choice. Given that Schmidt’s side have already shown several times this season what a nasty opponent they can be, the odds on a win are simply too low in relation to the risk. Although the Bulls won the first leg at home against the newly-promoted team, Leipzig had to fear for victory until the very last minute due to their poor chance conversion, which has been a recurring theme throughout the Rose team’s season.

After all, the brave promoted team from Swabia managed to score against the fourth-placed team in the table in the previous round. In contrast to the odds of the three-way market, the Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig prediction of the bookies is that, as in the first leg next Saturday, several goals will be scored in the match and both teams will score.

Predicted line-up of RB Leipzig:

Heidenheim – RB Leipzig head-to-head comparison / H2H result

The two teams had already faced each other six times in the second and third divisions before this season’s first-round clash. In the first half of the season, this clash made its debut in the top flight, which Leipzig won 2:1. The Bulls lead the overall record in this encounter. Three wins for Rose’s side are offset by three draws and just one win for the Brenzstädter.

At the Voith Arena, however, the statistics between the two teams are exactly even (1-1-1). Should the Swabians score again against the Bulls next Saturday, attractive betting odds can be found at the bookies for a double chance for the home team at Heidenheim v RB Leipzig

Heidenheim – RB Leipzig betting tip

Will Heidenheim also cause the favorites Leipzig to falter or will the bulls do their thing on the Schlossberg? This season, the cheeky newcomers have already caused many a favorite to falter at home in the Voith Arena. Of the Bundesliga leaders, only Leverkusen, who are currently top of the table, have managed to prevail in Heidenheim – albeit by the narrowest of margins of 2:1.

It is clear that RB Leipzig cannot afford to slip up in the fight for the last available Champions League place. However, Marco Rose’s side have been particularly prone to slip-ups against smaller teams this season – most recently in the goalless draw at home to Mainz. Despite Leipzig’s strong form, doubts about an away win are therefore justified, especially as Heidenheim’s odds against RB Leipzig are low.

As FCH still need points to avoid relegation, we tend to predict that the Swabians will take at least one point from Heidenheim v RB Leipzig. Even a bet on the underdog with an Asian handicap of +1 still brings respectable odds

A better bet than the three-way market for Heidenheim v RB Leipzig is a bet that – as in the first leg – both teams will score at least one goal. The BTTS value for away games of the Saxons is 79%, that for Heidenheim home games 71%. In this respect, the rather low odds for a bet on goals on both sides in Heidenheim v RB Leipzig are not surprising – but there is probably no alternative.

Many of the players who will be on the pitch in the Voith-Arena next Saturday will also be seen at the European Championship in Germany next summer
