The Matchday 21 Bundesliga clash between Heidenheim and Hamburg will take place on february 7 at the Voith-Arena. Heidenheim vs Hamburg: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Heidenheim
The team lost away to Borussia Dortmund in the last round (2:3). Frank Schmidt’s side have now gone seven league matches without a win (2 draws, 5 defeats), although Heidenheim have found the net in five of those games. Even so, with 19 goals scored, the club ranks among the bottom three for attacking output. At the same time, the team have conceded at least two goals in 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga matches. With 13 points, Heidenheim sit bottom of the standings.
- There were goals in both halves in 12 of the club’s previous 13 league matches.
- At home, the team have failed to win 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga games (3 draws, 3 defeats).
- In 5 of the previous 7 home matches in this tournament, Heidenheim conceded at least twice.
Potential Heidenheim Lineup (3-5-2)*
Diant Ramaj — Marnon Busch, Patrick Mainka, Tim Siersleben — Omar Traore, Julian Niehues, Niklas Dorsch, Eren Dinkci, Hennes Behrens — Mathias Honsak, Marvin Pieringer.
Defender Leart Paqarada and forward Budu Zivzivadze will miss the match through injury.
Hamburg
Merlin Polzin’s side shared the points for a third straight match in the last round, and the 2:2 draw with Bayern Munich can arguably be viewed as a win. However, the team have not managed an outright victory in six Bundesliga games. It is also worth noting that Hamburg have scored more than one goal only for the fifth time in the current league campaign. The club have climbed to 13th in the overall table, and Hamburg boast the best goals-conceded record (29) among teams in the bottom half of the standings.
- The team scored in 6 of their last 8 Bundesliga matches.
- Away from home, Hamburg have lost 5 of their previous 6 league matches (1 draw).
- The club conceded at least once in 6 of their previous 8 away games in this tournament.
Potential Hamburg Lineup (3-4-3)*
Daniel Heuer — Viliam Mikelbransis, Nicolas Capaldo, Luka Vuskovic — Bakery Jatta, Nikolai Remberg, Albert Sambi-Lokonga, Miro Muheim — Fabio Vieira, Daniel Elfadli, Ransford Königsdörffer.
Defender Warmed Omari, as well as forwards Robert Glatzel and Yussuf Poulsen, will miss out due to fitness issues. Defender Nicolas Capaldo is suspended.

Heidenheim vs Hamburg: Match Prediction
The mood in Frank Schmidt’s camp is clearly far from ideal. The team last won in early december, and after that it seemed there would be a good chance to pick up points consistently, with games against nearby rivals in the standings to come, but even there they could only draw with Wolfsburg. It is difficult to expect positive results with such problems at the back. Even at home, Heidenheim have conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 7 league matches. Fans may not get to see the team keep their first clean sheet any time soon.
That draw with Bayern Munich in the last round will surely give Hamburg a confidence boost. Overall, the visitors currently look slightly better than the upcoming opponents. Merlin Polzin’s side have avoided defeat in 6 of their previous 8 Bundesliga matches (2 wins, 4 draws). Hamburg may not be a free-scoring team, but they do find the net with decent regularity. And if they managed to score twice against the best defence in the league, then it will be difficult for the worst team by that metric as well.
