Command Analysis

FC Heidenheim

Current form
Heidenheim won the right to play in the Conference League last season, which was a huge success for a modest club. However, this moment clearly played a cruel joke with the team, which was not ready to compete at a distance in such a busy schedule. As a result, in the European Cup, they completed the tournament path at the 1/16 finals stage, failing to cope with Copenhagen, and in the Bundesliga they finished only in 16th position in the play-off zone. It should be noted that Frank Schmidt's team spent the end of the championship at a high level, having suffered only one defeat in the final four rounds.
Disqualifications and injuries
The entry of Kretzig and Janes into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In seven of Heidenheim's last eight matches, at least one of the opponents did not score goals.
- In three of the previous five matches, Heidenheim had not lost in the first half.
Approximate composition: Muller – Mainka, Gimber, Sirsleben – Traore, Scheppner, Dorsch, Honsak – Wanner, Beck – Piringer.

Эльфсберг

Current form
Elversberg has made significant progress over the past few years and has gone through a difficult path from the country's fourth football division to one of the contenders for a place in the Bundesliga. In the second Bundesliga, Horst Steffen's team finished in third place, just one point behind Hamburg. Elversberg delivered a powerful finish, won the final three rounds and thereby created a three-point gap from Paderborn, who took fourth place. It should be noted that throughout the season in the championship, the team successfully played in foreign arenas – only three defeats in 17 matches and only 12 goals conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yekel and Dragon will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

8.30Tip and bets
Heidenheim improved significantly at the end of the season and was close to avoiding play-offs. It is noticeable that when the team left the Conference League, the results improved decently, but before that it was difficult to play in a difficult schedule. Elversberg has become one of the openings of the season in the second Bundesliga, but still there is little experience of battles with representatives of the main division, and today we have to play on the road. We believe that the experience and the home field factor will help the hosts win today and create a reserve for themselves before the return game.
Our prediction is that Heidenheim will win with an Asian handicap (0) for a coefficient of 1.69
Bet on the total
The key to Elversberg's success is a reliable defensive game. In the league, the team conceded only 12 goals in 17 matches played away. We do not think that the guests will deviate from their usual style of play today, they will obviously try to restrain, first of all, the enemy's attack.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.03
A bet on yellow cards
Let's pay attention to the fact that the Heidenheim players are not known for rudeness in home matches, they did not receive more than two yellow cards in eight of the ten previous matches. Based on these statistics, we recommend another reliable betting option.
Bet: the total number of Heidenheim yellow cards is less than 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.55
