Stadium: Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg)
29.03.2025 16:30
Wolfsburg welcomes Heidenheim to the Volkswagen Arena in what promises to be a fascinating mid-table Bundesliga clash on March 29, 2025. While the giants of the league battle it out at the summit, these two sides are engaged in their own compelling subplots — Wolfsburg aiming for a European push, and Heidenheim still proving themselves in top-flight German football.
Their historical encounters heavily favor the Wolves — Wolfsburg has never lost to Heidenheim in six official meetings, winning five and drawing one. Most recently, in November 2024, Wolfsburg cruised to a 3-1 away victory. Their dominance has been consistent: they’ve averaged 2.3 goals scored per game against Heidenheim while conceding just 0.5.
This season, Wolfsburg’s performances have been inconsistent but sprinkled with individual brilliance, especially from Mohamed Amoura (10 goals, 8 assists) and Jonas Wind (8 goals, 3 assists). The team’s 49 goals in 26 league games show offensive firepower, although their average possession (45.1%) and pass completion (under 50%) highlight a more direct style.
Heidenheim, meanwhile, are enjoying a historic Bundesliga campaign. Despite being underdogs in most fixtures, they have taken points off top sides and average 1.5 goals scored per away game, a respectable return for a newly promoted side. Marvin Pieringer and Mathias Honsak lead their attacking charge, contributing to the club’s 31 goals so far this season.
The clash promises to be a battle of tempo — Wolfsburg’s vertical play versus Heidenheim’s transitional organization. With goals likely at both ends and plenty of attacking threat on display, this match could be a sleeper hit in the Bundesliga weekend slate.

VfL Wolfsburg, a club with past glories in the Bundesliga and European football, finds itself in a rebuilding phase, trying to regain consistency. Their 2024/25 season has been a mixed bag — showing moments of real quality, especially in attack, but lacking the cohesion needed to challenge for the top four.
With 49 goals scored in 26 matches, Wolfsburg are well above average in offensive output. Their attacking trio — Mohamed Amoura (10 goals, 8 assists), Jonas Wind (8 goals), and Tiago Tomas (6 goals) — has carried the team through many tight encounters. Amoura’s explosiveness and direct running have been key, while Wind continues to be a reliable finisher and creative link.
However, defensively, the Wolves have struggled at times. Their average of 1.0 goals conceded per game masks some shaky recent displays, and injuries to players like Mattias Svanberg and Rogério have hurt their midfield stability. With possession stats at just 45.1%, Wolfsburg often rely on quick counter-attacks rather than building methodically from the back.
Despite these limitations, Wolfsburg have been dominant in previous clashes with Heidenheim and typically raise their level in front of the home crowd. Managerial tweaks have improved their pressing structure in recent weeks, and their recent draw against St. Pauli and win over Bremen show resilience.
With Europe still a mathematical possibility, Wolfsburg will see this match as a must-win — and their recent record suggests they know how to handle Heidenheim’s challenge.
1. FC Heidenheim 1846
1 FC Heidenheim’s rise to the Bundesliga is a fairy-tale in progress, and their performances this season have reinforced their claim to top-flight status. Despite a modest squad and limited budget, Frank Schmidt’s men have played with courage, tactical discipline, and attacking intent — particularly in transition.
They’ve managed 31 goals in 26 matches, with Marvin Pieringer (6 goals) and Mathias Honsak (4 goals) leading the line. Heidenheim’s attacking play is complemented by creative midfielders like Jan Schöppner and Leonardo Scienza, both of whom have also chipped in with goals and assists.
Their average possession of 43.2% and pass completion around 51.5% speak to a pragmatic style of play — they absorb pressure and break quickly. Away from home, they’ve been spirited, averaging 1.5 goals scored per game, and recently held Hoffenheim and beat RB Leipzig, showcasing their ability to compete against stronger sides.
Defensively, however, they remain vulnerable. They’ve conceded 1.8 goals per game away and suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat at home to Gladbach. Their organization can break down under sustained pressure, and against a high-energy side like Wolfsburg, that fragility could be exposed.
Nonetheless, Heidenheim are no pushovers. They’re unpredictable and fearless, and while they lack elite talent, they make up for it with structure, energy, and smart pressing. They’ll aim to disrupt Wolfsburg’s flow and strike on the break — and if they stay compact, they could make things difficult for the hosts.

Expert Betting Tips
This match looks primed for goals and excitement. Wolfsburg, despite recent stumbles, have the historical and statistical edge. Their record against Heidenheim is flawless — 5 wins and 1 draw in six matches — and they’ve scored an average of 2.3 goals per match in those encounters.
The home side is stacked with attacking talent: Amoura and Wind provide creativity and finishing, while others like Tomas and Maehle can chip in with goals. Their 49-goal season tally suggests they will find the net — especially against a Heidenheim defense that has conceded 1.8 goals per away game.
Heidenheim’s away form is better than expected, with key scalps like Leipzig showing they can surprise. They average 1.5 goals scored away, and with Pieringer and Honsak in decent form, they’re likely to create chances.
That said, Wolfsburg’s firepower and depth should prove too much, especially with home advantage. Expect an open game, and possibly goals at both ends.
