Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (24 January)

We will seriously have to increase the pace for Heidenheim at the dawn of this return phase. Indeed, the locals are currently only in 16th place in this Bundesliga and they are 3 points behind the first non-relegation team. After having won 2 decisive successes in December, Franck Schmidt's men fell back into their mistakes by lining up 5 matches without a victory against Sankt Pauli 2-1, at Bayern Munich 0-4, Cologne 2-2, at Mainz 2-1 and finally against Wolfsburg 1-1 last weekend. For its part, Leipzig has long been the only team in Germany to be able to follow from afar the infernal pace imposed by Bayern Munich at the top of the classification. But this time is now over for RasenBall Sport which has just lost 3 times in the last 4 days.

Dominated by Union Berlin 3-1 and Bayer Leverkusen 1-3 before the winter break, the Red Bulls found a smile again by beating Freiburg 2-0. But last weekend, they were once again no match for a ruthless Bayern Munich 1-5. In the standings, Leipzig slipped to 5th position, a short distance from the podium with a match in hand.

Heidenheim still regrets the absences of young defender Behrens, promising Kölle, Kosovar international Pacarada and Georgian striker Zivzivadze (1 goal) who are all continuing their convalescence. The relatively ineffective striker Conteh must also remain in the hands of the medical staff. If he is still the top scorer of this team with his 5 goals, the interesting Schimmer must be content with a supersub role. Against Wolfsburg, it was playmaker Beck who scored the only goal for his team. Leipzig will not be at full strength for this meeting either.

Indeed, the long-term injured Gebel and Henrichs, former senior defender Klostermann and important winger Bakayoko (2 goals) are all on the floor at the moment along with the important Ouedraogo. Remember that during the winter transfer window, midfielder Haïdara signed with RC Lens while the Slovenian Kampl preferred to leave the club following a family death. On the other hand, the young Ivorian winger Diomandé (6 goals) will be present in the same way as the excellent Austrian Baumgarnter (6 goals, 6 assists) and the Brazilian striker Romulo (6 goals, 3 assists) who scored in the last 2 days. The probable line-ups for Heidenheim - RB Leipzig:Heidenheim: Ramaj - Traoré, Mainka, Gimber, Föhrenbach - Schöppner, Niehues, Dorsch - Pieringer, Ibrahimovic, Kaufmann.
