Werder Bremen vs Heidenheim Prediction
Werder Bremen have enjoyed an impressive campaign thus far and remain in contention for the top seven or eight places in the Bundesliga. They do come into this one on the back of a 4-2 defeat to RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena at the weekend. Their 16 games have consisted of 57 goals with an entertaining style of football. They face a Heidenheim side that have risen to heights they never thought expected with last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League qualification but their Bundesliga form has suffered as a result as they sit third-from-bottom but they did earn themselves a 2-0 defeat of Union Berlin the other day. They will be buoyed by that so, whilst Werder are favourites, it should be quite an entertaining encounter for this one.
