Stadium: Voith-Arena (Heidenheim an der Brenz)
01.112.2024 19:30
Heidenheim's poor performance continued in the middle of the week, as they were defeated by Chelsea in the UEFA Conference League by a score of 0-2 at home. A humiliating setback away at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend also resulted in them allowing five goals to be scored against them. The team coached by Frank Schmidt suffered their fifth loss in the last six league matches they had played.
As a direct result of this, Heidenheim dropped to the fifteenth position in the Bundesliga table. When it comes to the relegation playoff slot, they are now only two points ahead of St. Pauli. Because Heidenheim will be playing Eintracht Frankfurt, who is now in second place, in the final encounter of Gameweek No. 12 on Sunday afternoon at Voith-Arena, it will be difficult for them to get back on track this weekend.
The spirit of Frankfurt is considerably higher than that of any other city. Last weekend, they were able to secure their third consecutive victory in the league by defeating Werder Bremen by a score of 1-0 at their own stadium, thanks to a goal scored by Mario Gotze. Eintracht followed it up with another victory in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night, when they defeated Midtyjlland by a score of 2-1 on Danish turf.

Heidenheim will enter their clash with Bayer Leverkusen having only scored once against Wolfsburg, despite the fact that they have produced 2.42 xG. Having only created 19 big chances in their previous nine Bundesliga games, the visitors' five big chances in that encounter constituted a major improvement over their prior performance. The difficulties that the squad is having in front of the goal, due to the fact that they have only scored twice in their past five games, will cause concern for the manager, Frank Schmidt, who described the loss as harsh.
Over the course of their most recent five matches, Heidenheim has only managed to win one, lose three times, and tie one. In point of fact, they have only won one of the previous seven Bundesliga games that they have played, and they have lost six of those games.
Considering that they have lost three of their last four league games away from home, their away record is particularly alarming. On the other hand, they were victorious in their most recent away game in the Conference League, which took place on November 7 and that was against Hearts.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Frankfurt will begin matchday 12 in second place in the league after starting the season with a record of seven wins, two draws, and two losses from their ten league games. Frankfurt is currently on a six-game winning streak across all competitions, demonstrating that their success is not confined to the Bundesliga alone. Die Adler began that sequence of results with a victory against Riga FS in the Europa League. Subsequently, they played Union Berlin in the league and ended up drawing 1-1 with them respectively.
Die Adler will be confident in their abilities to earn another victory on Saturday since they have not yet suffered a defeat at Deutsche Bank Park this season. This is because they have not yet suffered a loss there. In reality, Frankfurt has won three of their four league games played at home, as well as six of their eight challenging games played at home.
Expert Betting Tips
There is a streak of five consecutive victories for Eintracht Frankfurt across all competitions. After seven victories in the first eleven rounds of the Bundesliga, they are only six points behind Bayern Munich, who are now in first place. Over the past few months, Heidenheim has not been cutting down any trees. After the previous six matches in the Bundesliga, they only managed to earn one point on the board.
Frankfurt is favoured to win as they have triumphed over Heidenheim in each of the three head-to-head matches that have taken place in the past. In their most recent two league losses, Heidenheim suffered setbacks to Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen, each of whom scored eight goals.
