Augsburg vs Heidenheim Prediction
Confidence and momentum can breed good results and Augsburg will be hoping it remains that way as they host Heidenheim, who are treading water just outside the Bundesliga’s automatic relegation spots. Consecutive 0-2 triumphs away from home against Union Berlin and Werder Bremen were impressive as much for the defensive resilience of Augsburg along with their potency going forward.
Heidenheim continue to slide alarmingly and a poor start here could see their confidence drain away fairly quickly. They’ve kept just one clean sheet in all competitions since November 7th and it’s hard to see them getting anything here when taking into account their fragile backline, so back Augsburg to maintain their winning streak.
