Heidenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen Analysis
Heidenheim Preview
It has been an encouraging season to this point for the home team, as Heidenheim have defied expectations to sit clear of the relegation places. At present, they find themselves in ninth in the standings, and an unlikely victory on Saturday could see them move up to seventh.
There is reason for optimism looking at the Heidenheim scores, as they come into this round after going five without defeat. However, they have played out four draws over that period.
But, they did get back in the win column last weekend with a fine 2-1 win away from home against Werder Bremen. Both of their goals in that success were netted inside the opening 18 minutes.
It is worth mentioning that the Bundesliga team stats show that Heidenheim were 2-1 winners in their most recent home match against Leverkusen. That success was recorded in the DFB Pokal in February 2019.
Bayer Leverkusen
An incredible campaign for Bayer Leverkusen reached a new high last weekend, as they dismantled Bayern Munich to increase their advantage at the top of the league standings to five points.
For the first time, the leaders in the Bundesliga standings are now favorites to win the top-flight title this term. They come into this round still sporting their unbeaten record this term, and they also have the best defensive record having allowed just 14 goals.
It was an ultra-competitive display against Bayern last weekend, with Jeremie Frimpong putting the cherry on the victory in the fifth minute of injury time. Sensationally, they restricted Bayern to just a single shot on target in 90 minutes.
Alex Grimaldo could be a player worth considering when assessing the Bundesliga player stats. He netted the second goal in the win last weekend to take his goal involvements for the campaign to 17 in 21 league outings.
Heidenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen Head to Head
