Heidenheim vs St. Pauli Prediction and Betting Tips | January 18th 2025

The German Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Heidenheim and St. Pauli square off at the Voith-Arena on Saturday. Alexander Blessin’s men head into the weekend on a run of three consecutive defeats and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Heidenheim turned in a resilient team display last Wednesday when they fought back from behind twice to salvage a 3-3 draw against Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion.

Before that, Frank Schmidt’s side snapped their run of nine consecutive games without a win across all competitions on January 11 courtesy of a 2-0 home victory over Union Berlin.

With 14 points from 17 matches, Heidenheim are currently 15th in the Bundesliga standings, level on points with Saturday’s hosts in fourth place.

St. Pauli, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot last time out as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Bochum at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion. Blessin’s men have lost three consecutive games across all competitions, stretching back to a 1-0 victory over Stuttgart on December 21.

St. Pauli will be backing themselves to bounce back this weekend as they visit the Voith-Arena, where they have won their last three visits since January 2021.
