Heidenheim vs Mainz Prediction and Betting Tips | February 16th 2025

Heidenheim and Mainz go head-to-head at the Voith-Arena in round 22 of the German Bundesliga on Sunday. Bo Henriksen’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their previous three meetings since December 2023.

Heidenheim turned in a solid team display on Thursday when they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Copenhagen in the first leg of their UEFA European Conference League playoff clash.

Head coach Frank Schmidt will hope that result can serve as a springboard for a turnaround in the Bundesliga, where they are currently on a run of four consecutive defeats and have won just one of their last 16 games.

With 14 points from 21 matches, Heidenheim are currently 16th in the league standings, four points behind 15th-placed Hoffenheim just above the relegation playoff spot.

Mainz, on the other hand, dropped out of the European qualification places as they were held to a goalless draw by Augsburg at the MEWA Arena last time out.

Henriksen’s side have failed to win four of their last five outings — losing three and claiming one draw — with a 2-0 victory over Stuttgart on January 25 being the exception.

Mainz have picked up 32 points from their 21 Bundesliga games so far to sit seventh in the league table, one point behind sixth-placed Freiburg in the final European qualifying spot.

While Heidenheim continue to push forward in the Conference League, they have struggled to impose themselves in the league, where they find themselves scrambling for points in the danger zone.

Mainz boast a slightly superior squad on paper and we fancy them to come away with the desired result.
