THE PREDICTION

Both Hansa Rostock and Heidenheim finished outside of the 2. Bundesliga top ten last season, so each have plenty of room for improvement this time round. Aside from the bottom three, Hansa Rostock were the lowest scorers in the division, so it is no surprise that they have made a number of changes on the playing side to try and improve their fortunes. This is likely to wind up being a cagey opening weekend encounter with both teams prioritising defensive stability and solid set-up, ensuring they don’t get caught out on the counter-attack. Neither will want to begin the new campaign with defeat and backing a draw looks a shrewd play here, as both Hansa Rostock and Heidenheim would likely see this as a positive result moving forward.
