Bayer Leverkusen vs Heidenheim Prediction and Betting Tips | November 23rd 2024

Bayer Leverkusen and Heidenheim return to action in the German Bundesliga when they square off at the Bay Arena on Saturday. Frank Schmidt’s men have failed to taste victory in their last five league matches and will head into the weekend looking to find their feet.

Bayer Leverkusen failed to return to winning ways just before the international break as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Bochum after conceding an 89th-minute equalizer at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion.

This followed a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of English Premier League leaders Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League, a result which saw their 11-game unbeaten run come to an end.

Bayer Leverkusen have picked up 17 points from their 10 Bundesliga matches so far to sit fourth in the league standings, level on points with fifth-placed Freiburg.

Elsewhere, Heidenheim continue to struggle for results at the bottom end of the Bundesliga standings as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Wolfsburg last time out.

Schmidt’s men have now failed to win their last five league games, losing four and picking up one draw since claiming a 2-0 victory over Mainz on September 28.

With 10 points from 10 matches, Heidenheim are currently 14th in the Bundesliga standings, just two points above the bottom three.
