1 Fsv Mainz 05 vs Heidenheim Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 14/12/2023, 08:30  by Steve Ashfield in Bundesliga Predictions

Mainz look to end a run of four Bundelsiga games without a win when hosting Heidenheim. The home side begin the weekend one from bottom in the table with the visitors 13th. Mainz are in the automatic relegation places but only a point from the play-off position and safety. They have only scored 12 goals in their 14 league games this season and just one in the last four. The last two have both seen them fail to get on the scoresheet. Their last league game was a goalless draw at Koln who are a place above them in the Bundesliga table. The 05ers have the worst home record in the league with only four points from six games and just five goals scored. Four of their last five home games have ended in defeat but they did get a win over RB Leipzig. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the Carnival Club's last five fixtures.

Heidenheim are five points above their opponents. They have won four league games this season but been beaten in eight. Just one of their last four league fixtures has ended in victory. That was a 3-2 home win over Darmstadt who are currently bottom of the Bundesliga. It was a struggle though and they had to come from 2-1 down to get the win. Away form has seen Heidenheim really struggle with just one point from seven games. That's the worst away record in the Bundesliga and only seven goals have been scored. We go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this game.
