Match announcement
FC Heidenheim
GermanyCurrent form
Heidenheim has not stood the test of strength this season, combining performances in European Cups and the Bundesliga. True, in the Conference League they managed to get into the playoffs thanks to a good starting period. In the national championship, things are worse. After 15 rounds, Frank Schmidt charges are in 16th place in the playoff zone with 10 points to their credit. The gap from the saving 15th place is four points. At the moment, the losing streak in the Bundesliga has reached seven matches. Perhaps the break will benefit the team. Plus, we note the strengthening of the squad - the arrival of the best striker of the second Bundesliga Budu Zivzivadze. Left back Frans Kretzig also came from Stuttgart on loan.

Nijus will miss the game due to injury. Piringer will serve a suspension.

Probable line-up: Müller - Traore, Mainka, Gimbert, Ferenbach - Dorsch, Scheppner - Schienza, Wanner, Honsak - Zivzivadze.
Union Berlin
GermanyCurrent form
Union had a confident start to the Bundesliga season, and was in the top 6 for some time. However, problems in attack prevented the team from staying among the leaders for long; it is difficult to achieve success over the long term only through reliable defense. As a result, a decent decline followed, and after 15 rounds, the Berliners are only in 12th place in the table with 16 points. Steffen Baumgart charges, who took charge of the team during the break, are approaching the upcoming match on a streak of five defeats in a row in the championship. In the last round, a crushing 1:4 defeat was recorded against Werder.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stein will miss the game due to injury. Khedira will not play today due to a card accumulation.
Interesting trends for betting

- Union have lost five of their last six away matches in the Bundesliga
Estimated line-up: Rennow - Duki, Vogt, Leyte - Trimmel, Kemlein, Schaefer, Rothe - Skov, Hollerbach, Vertessen.

11.00Tip and bets
Union has changed its coach, and we can fully expect that we will no longer face such a pragmatic team with a clear bias towards defense. Heidenheim usually plays bold football, is not afraid to attack with large forces, we can recall the goals scored against Bayern, Stuttgart, while the hosts are very vulnerable in defense. We think that, taking into account all the changes, the bookmakers are somewhat underestimating the probability of a high total in the upcoming game.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.10
Bet on the outcome
Union has lost five matches in a row in the Bundesliga, but at the same time receives the status of favorite in the upcoming game. Of course, Heidenheim is not shining with results either, but the team had a very busy schedule of performances, they needed a break. We think that, taking into account the odds, it is worth taking a risk and betting on the hosts.
The second bet is Heidenheim victory with an Asian handicap (0) with odds of 2.25
Bet on corners
Both teams need points, clearly no one will bet on defense today. We expect that there will be many attacks and, accordingly, corners.
Betting Tip - total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.85
