VfB Stuttgart vs FC Heidenheim Prediction

VfB Stuttgart Form

VfB Stuttgart recorded a win, a loss and a draw in their previous three matches, where they first beat Bochum 0-4. They were then defeated 1-2 against Werder Bremen, before drawing 4-4 against Union Berlin. VfB Stuttgart just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Bundesliga matches at the MHPArena. They also drew zero and lost five of these six encounters, in which they scored 11 and conceded 13 goals.

FC Heidenheim Form

FC Heidenheim endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 0-1 by Bayer Leverkusen, before Eintracht Frankfurt ran out 3-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Bayern Munich, who came out 0-4 winners. FC Heidenheim claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by nine goals to five.

FC Heidenheim are closer to the relegation zone than they would have wished for at this late stage of the season. They are still capable of pulling clear though and securing another season in the top flight.

Anything but a home win would be a stunning result, and we back VfB Stuttgart not to be stunned, just like we back numerous goals to be scored when they face FC Heidenheim.
