Heidenheim vs Bochum Preview and Team News
Heidenheim Team News
Heidenheim have three Bundesliga matches left to save their status in the German top division. They currently sit 16th with 25 points, three ahead of 17th-placed Holstein Kiel and four ahead of bottom-placed and their Friday opponents, Bochum.
Their form has been a source of concern throughout the season. They’ve won just seven games in 31 rounds of fixtures.

While they’ve scored a lowly 33 goals, they’ve conceded 60 in the process. This record has exposed their lack of balance between attack and defence, which has condemned them to a fight for survival.
Ahead of Friday’s clash, Heidenheim secured a morale-boosting 0-1 win away to VfB Stuttgart. The victory, their second in their last five outings, will provide them with the motivation they need to seal survival in the Bundesliga.
Their bid will be boosted by the fact that they only have one player missing. Centre-forward Budu Zivzivadze will be unavailable with a ligament injury.

Bochum Team News
Bochum are rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga. However, with three matches and five points from safety, they still have a mathematical chance of pulling off a miraculous feat.
This task is made even more intriguing by the fact that they’re playing Heidenheim, who are four points ahead of them. A win will allow Bochum to cut this deficit to a solitary point with two games to go.

The biggest impediment for Bochum is their poor form, which has seen them collect a solitary point from their previous five events. They’ve won just five times throughout their 31 games played this season.
With 30 goals scored and 63 conceded, VfL have been in abysmal form on both ends. They’ll want a better balance when they travel to Heidenheim. They will have to achieve this feat without right midfielder Koji Miyoshi, who is out with a torn muscle fibre.

Bochum predicted lineup vs Heidenheim: (3-4-1-2): Horn; Oermann, Medic, Bernardo; Gamboa, Bero, Krauß, Wittek; Hagmann; Broschinski, Boadu.

- Pick: Heidenheim to win
- Odds: 2.26 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Heidenheim 1-0 Bochum
This will be a closely contested match, with both clubs desperately fighting for the three points on offer. This means they’ll be pragmatic in their approach, prioritizing tactical discipline, solidity, compactness, and aggression in closing down.
Heidenheim go into this game in a better run of form. They’ve won twice in their last five encounters, picking up six precious points in their fight for survival.
In contrast, Bochum have lost four and drawn once in their previous five, taking only one point. They’ve lost ground in their fight to stay afloat in this Bundesliga.
Heidenheim vs Bochum Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Heidenheim To Win By 1 Goals – Yes
- Odds: 3.92 (22Bet)
These two teams have not shown significant defensive solidity so far this term. However, in this six-pointer with relegation ramifications, there will be an emphasis on solidity and defensive bite.
These dynamics point to a match decided by fine margins. We could see a win by a goal by the hosts, looking to bolster their bid to stay in the Bundesliga next season.
