FC Augsburg vs FC Heidenheim 1846 Prediction: Augsburg to win

The two clubs that are nearly tied on points in the Bundesliga rankings, Augsburg and Heidenheim, will face off on Saturday 9th March 2024 at 17:30 (GMT+3) at the WWK Arena. The Bavarians will probably stick to their attacking strategy in an attempt to capitalize on their consecutive victories against Freiburg (2-1) and Darmstadt (6-0). The home victory should be taken into consideration, as Augsburg displayed their finest performance of the year over the weekend. 

Heidenheim has been struggling of late. In the previous three league games, the squad has only managed one point. Considering their poor performance in a 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, we predict a win for the home side.  

FC Augsburg

When Augsburg hosts Heidenheim in the next Bundesliga match, they will be aiming for their third consecutive victory. The two teams are tied at 29 points, with Augsburg in 10th position and Heidenheim in 11th place with 28 points. With 12 points separating them from the relegation playoff spot, Augsburg is optimistic they can escape a late showdown. They are going for a double against Heidenheim in this, their second competitive match. They prevailed 5-2 in the opening leg of this match. After defeating Darmstadt 6-0, they will have their sights set on another significant victory. They will seek to capitalize on the momentum after winning in the Bundesliga for the second time in a row. Augsburg will need to make some adjustments, though, since they have only won one of their last five home league games. They do, however, have a starting point because they have scored twice in each of the last three home games.

In addition to Patric Pfeiffer, Reece Oxford, and Raphael Framberger still being out due to injury, Mads Pedersen has been given a match-day ban.

FC Heidenheim 1846

Heidenheim has performed well thus far, albeit they won't reach the heights they did in the second division the previous season. They are the most productive of the promoted teams, and they are nearly there in their primary goal of staying up. They have 28 points going into this game, 11 more than the playoff zone for relegation. They have only secured seven wins in the Bundesliga this season, with two of those victories coming away from home. This demonstrates how much more work they will need to put up the three points that are on the table. They have performed rather well in their last road games. In contrast to their five losses in their previous five road games, they had two victories and three draws in their past five away games.

In the match on Saturday, the visitors will be without Jan-Niklas Beste, Thomas Keller, Elidon Qenaj, and Leonard Maloney.
