Freiburg vs Heidenheim Prediction and Betting Tips

Freiburg will host Heidenheim at the Europa-Park-Stadion on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have had their struggles in the league this season but continue their push for continental football as they sit ninth in the table with 30 points from 20 matches.

After a difficult run of results in January, the Breisgau-Brasilianer returned to winning ways last time out, beating Bochum 1-0 on the road with Kiliann Sildillia heading home the sole goal of the contest in the first half to register his maiden Bundesliga strike.

Heidenheim, meanwhile, lit up the Bundesliga last season but have failed to hit similar heights this season and now find themselves fighting for survival. They were beaten 2-1 by Borussia Dortmund in their last match, sitting two goals down before Mathias Honsak halved the deficit midway through the second half.

The visitors sit 16th in the table with just 14 points picked up all season. They are two points above last-placed Bochum and will be desperate to pull clear with a win on Saturday.

Heidenheim have lost their last three games on the trot and have won just once in the league since September. They have lost all but one of their last six away matches and could see defeat here as well.
