On April 19, in the 30th round of the German Bundesliga, a match between Heidenheim and Bayern Munich will take place. Despite the class difference, the encounter promises to be intense: the hosts are desperately fighting for survival, while the visitors continue their race for the championship. Let's consider a bet on the winner of this clash.
Heidenheim
Heidenheim is having a tough season and occupies the 16th place in the Bundesliga table, sitting in the relegation playoff zone. After 29 rounds, the team has only 22 points, trailing the safe 15th spot by 7 points.
In the last five rounds, the team has earned 7 points: two wins, one draw, and two losses. In the last two matches, Heidenheim lost — at home to Bayer 0:1 and away to Eintracht 0:3.
The team performs particularly poorly at home: over the last six home matches in the championship — only one win and five losses. Overall, in home games this season, Heidenheim has secured only three wins out of 14 possible — one of the worst records in the league.
It is also worth noting that in the first round, Bayern confidently defeated Heidenheim at home with a score of 4:2.
Bayern
The Munich team continues to lead the championship and after 29 rounds tops the table with 69 points, ahead of Bayer by 6 points. In the last Champions League match, the team drew 2:2 with Inter and was eliminated from the tournament on aggregate. Now, Vincent Kompany's men have only the Bundesliga title race left.
In the championship, Bayern shows confident results — a draw with Borussia Dortmund 2:2, and victories over Augsburg 3:1 and St. Pauli 3:2. However, in all competitions, the team has not won in three consecutive matches, which only increases motivation for the upcoming clash.
Bayern remains the most prolific team in the league — 83 goals scored with the best defense of the tournament, conceding only 29 goals. Away, the Munich side looks especially stable: the team is on an eight-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.

Prediction for the match Heidenheim - Bayern
Heidenheim is in the playoff zone and shows extremely weak results in home matches. Meanwhile, Bayern, despite being knocked out of the Champions League, maintains their lead in the championship and remains the most stable team in the Bundesliga. Vincent Kompany's squad boasts a powerful attack that should have no trouble breaking through the defense of one of the underdogs. My bet is on Bayern to win with a -1.5 handicap at odds of 1.78.
