FC Cologne vs Heidenheim prediction

When taking into account that FC Cologne only picked up two points from the last nine available to them, Heidenheim have every reason to believe they can go there and win, which really would ignite their hopes of making what would be arguably one of the greatest escapes ever seen in the Bundesliga. Rooted inside the automatic relegation places for the vast majority of the season, two wins and a draw from their last four has breathed new life into Frank Schmidt’s side.

Momentum is so huge when it comes to a relegation battle and whilst Heidenheim are benefitting from that right, FC Cologne are not playing well at the moment. The visitors are fighting for everything and believe they can pull off something special. Factor in the results we’ve seen from them over the past few weeks and backing Heidenheim to pick up another point or even all three in Cologne is a play worth backing.

FC Cologne vs Heidenheim tip: Double chance - draw/Heidenheim
