Heidenheim have made a pleasing enough start to the season following their promotion last term. They will be looking to land a third victory of the campaign on Sunday when they come up against Augsburg in front of their home fans.
Bundesliga Preview
There was a widespread belief that Heidenheim would struggle in the Bundesliga following their promotion back to the top flight last season. However, they have made a pleasing enough start to the new season, as they currently sit tenth in the league standings, and boast a five point advantage over the automatic relegation spots.
The newcomers to the division have landed victories in two of their seven matches this term, with both wins coming in their previous four fixtures. However, they are yet to find consistency to their performances, as they have suffered two defeats in their previous three league matches. Their most recent defeat was suffered on the road against Eintracht Frankfurt, as Heidenheim conceded goals in both halves in that 2-0 defeat. But, their home form is a very notable angle this weekend.
Augsburg already look to be struggling at this stage of the season, as they sit toward the wrong end of the standings after seven rounds of matches. The visitors this weekend have won just once in their seven matches this term, and a defeat this weekend could see them end the round in the relegation places.
Augsburg will be looking to bounce back to their best form this weekend, as they have suffered defeats in each of their previous two matches. Their most recent defeat was suffered in from of their home fans at WWK Arena, as they lost 2-1 against Darmstadt.
Heidenheim vs Augsburg Head to Head
This will be the seventh meeting between the sides since June 2012. Augsburg have landed victories in each of the previous three, which includes a 2-0 success in December 2022. The last win for Heidenheim in this fixture was secured on the road in September 2014.
Heidenheim vs Augsburg Prediction
These two German sides are both very evenly matched, meaning a close encounter is extremely likely in the Bundesliga this weekend. Both sides have poor defensive records at this stage, meaning that over 2.5 goals could be a solid selection. However, the narrow preference is for Augsburg, who have dominated the previous encounters between the sides in recent seasons.
