RB Leipzig vs Heidenheim Prediction

RB Leipzig were forced to watch other teams leapfrog them in the table on Saturday but now they get their chance for three points and will be expected to take it against the most out-of-form side currently in the Bundesliga. Five straight defeats speak for itself and Heidenheim are sliding towards relegation if they can't turn things around.

However, the visitors won’t be expected to reverse their slump here against a strong RB Leipzig, who are motivated and desperately need three points themselves for different reasons. Any outcome other than victory for the hosts would be seen as a big surprise.
