Stadium: Voith-Arena (Heidenheim an der Brenz)
05.04.2025 16:30
Saturday’s clash between Bayer Leverkusen and 1. FC Heidenheim at the Voith-Arena might look like a mismatch on paper — but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Leverkusen are chasing glory, with European qualification and possibly more within reach, while Heidenheim are scrapping for survival, trying to stay above the Bundesliga’s drop zone.
Leverkusen come into this one flying. Four wins from their last five league games, an average of nearly three goals per match, and an attacking unit that has become one of the most feared in Germany. They’ve got pace, depth, and the kind of momentum title contenders feed on. Heidenheim? They’re not winning headlines, but they’re holding their own. They’ve only lost once in their last five and have shown they can battle with the best — even if the margins are tight.
This is more than just first versus fifteenth. It’s a test of professionalism for Leverkusen — a game they’re expected to win, but one that could trip them up if taken lightly. For Heidenheim, it’s a chance to punch above their weight, in front of their fans, against one of the league’s elite. Whether they survive the storm or spark one of their own remains to be seen.

For Heidenheim, every point matters now. They’re not crashing, but they’re treading water — and the waves are getting stronger. In their last five Bundesliga outings, they’ve picked up two wins and two draws, with one loss. That sounds decent on paper, but a closer look shows a team struggling to find real control. They’ve scored 7 goals and conceded 7, averaging 1.4 in both columns. That’s a sign of a team in balance — but not dominance.
At home, they’ve had some grit, but not much firepower. While their fighting spirit is admirable, the reality is that they often find themselves chasing games or clinging on. Against sides with pace and width, they’ve been exposed. Leverkusen, with their fluid attacking style, will be one of their biggest tests yet. Heidenheim will need to be perfect defensively and take their chances — however few — if they want to pull off a shock result.
Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen are on a mission — and you can feel it in how they play. They’ve won four of their last five Bundesliga games, scoring a hefty 13 goals in the process — an average of 2.6 goals per game. With the league title still within reach, Xabi Alonso’s side is showing no signs of slowing down. They’ve brushed past tougher teams than Heidenheim lately, and even when they concede (7 goals in 5 games), they outscore their problems with style.
The pace of Jeremie Frimpong, the intelligence of Florian Wirtz, and the consistency across the pitch makes this one of the most complete squads in Europe right now. Away from home, they’re just as dangerous. Efficient, focused, and deadly on the counter — everything Heidenheim isn’t right now.

There’s a gulf in class here, and the current form doesn’t lie. Heidenheim will put up a fight — they always do — but unless Leverkusen shows up sloppy or overly casual, this should be a routine win. Heidenheim might get a few moments, but Leverkusen’s finishing and movement should overwhelm them.
