• VfL Bochum 1848 vs VfL Wolfsburg Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 02.12.2023

Bundesliga Preview

The main aim for RB Leipzig this term will be to finish in a Champions League spot, meaning that they can ill-afford too many slip ups this term. They have already appeared to be too easy to beat in the Bundesliga this term, as they have suffered three defeats in their opening 12 matches. However, a return to winning ways this weekend would move them up to fourth in the standings. 

Leipzig will need to rediscover their form, as they have suffered defeats in two of their previous three matches in the competition. Their latest setback was suffered last weekend, as they were beaten on the road by Wolfsburg. Leipzig dominated that fixture, but they lacked the quality in the final third to win maximum points after scoring just once from nine shots on target.

There will also be pressure on Heidenheim this weekend, as the German side sits just above the bottom three spots at this stage of the season. To this point, they have recorded three victories from their opening 12 matches, and they have allowed 26 goals already this term. 

Their recent form would also be a concern coming into this weekend, as they have suffered three defeats in their last five matches in the Bundesliga. However, they at least got back to some kind of solid form last weekend, as they played out a hard-fought draw against Bochum in front of their home fans. But, Heidenheim appeared to lack the quality in the final third to make the breakthrough in that clash. 

RB Leipzig vs Heidenheim Head to Head

Leipzig have won two of their previous six matches against Heidenheim, with three of the previous encounters having ended in draws. The most recent clash between the sides came in the second tier in 2016, with Leipzig landing a 3-1 win. 

RB Leipzig vs Heidenheim Prediction

Leipzig will see this match as a perfect opportunity to get back on track after dropping points in their previous match. We fully expect them to get over the line against their rivals, and we could see them securing a 2-0 success at the Red Bull Arena.
