Match preview
Augsburg suffered a 0-2 defeat to Mainz in the previous round, snapping a four-match unbeaten run (2 wins, 2 draws). Manuel Baum's team has been conceding regularly – six consecutive matches now – and continues to struggle with finishing, remaining one of the league's least prolific sides.
However, Augsburg are much more confident at home: six Bundesliga matches unbeaten (3 wins, 3 draws), and in six of their last seven at the WWK Arena, they've conceded no more than once. They've earned 15 of their 22 points on home soil – this is the main argument in favor of the hosts.
Heidenheim are enduring a rough patch: the 0-2 loss to Hamburg was their sixth defeat in the last eight rounds. Frank Schmidt's team has been leaking goals at an alarming rate – 47 conceded this season, the worst record in the league – and in just one of their last eight games have they allowed fewer than two goals.
The away record is even more concerning: eight defeats in their last ten away games (1 win, 1 draw). However, Heidenheim have found the net in five consecutive away matches, making a both teams to score scenario quite realistic.
Probable line-ups
- Augsburg: Damen, Schlotterbeck, Banks, Chavez, Fellhauer, Rexhbecaj, Massengo, Gregoritsch, Kömür, Wolf, Claude-Maurice.
- Heidenheim: Ramaj, Busch, Mainka, Gimber, Traoré, Ibrahimović, Dorsch, Dinkçi, Behrens, Niehues, Pieringer.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Heidenheim have conceded first in 10 of their last 12 Bundesliga matches.
- Augsburg are unbeaten at home in their last six league games.
- Heidenheim have the league's worst defense – 47 goals conceded.
Prediction
Augsburg are solid at home and face a side that consistently collapses at the back. Even with a less-than-sparkling attack, the hosts should capitalize on the visitors' defensive weaknesses. I expect the Bavarians to at least avoid defeat, and for the match to see over two goals – the optimal bet: "Augsburg double chance and over 1.5 goals"
