THE PREDICTION
These two sides are tied on 19 points in mid-table going into Saturday’s encounter. Heidenheim have picked up 15 of those points at home and are unbeaten in 19 league matches at the Voith-Arena, a remarkable run which stretches back to October 2019. Nurnberg’s results on the road have been mixed, with two wins, two draws and two defeats from their six away outings. Both meetings between the two sides last season ended in 2-2 draws and this should be another close contest, but Heidenheim’s strength on home turf is likely to see them over the line.
