Heidenheim vs Cottbus Preview
After failing to spoil Wolfsburg’s party at Volkswagen Arena, Heidenheim will be eager to bounce back with a strong performance against Cottbus. Frank Schmidt’s men suffered a 3-1 defeat but will be determined to preserve their unbeaten home record in the new 2. Bundesliga season. Breunig, Busch and Conteh remain unavailable, while Georgia international striker Budu Zivzivadze is doubtful. Heidenheim have made an impressive start at Voith-Arena, winning three of their four home matches and averaging 2.50 goals scored per game.
Cottbus, meanwhile, are likely to stick to their attacking approach despite playing out a surprisingly low-scoring draw with Nurnberg. Justin Butler has overcome a minor injury and is fit to feature, providing a boost to the visitors’ attacking options. Energie have scored an average of 2.00 goals per game overall, but defensive problems remain a concern, with 2.50 goals conceded per away match.
Heidenheim’s home advantage and stronger results on home soil make them favourites, although Cottbus possess enough attacking threat to contribute to an entertaining contest. With the hosts averaging 4.00 total goals per home match and Cottbus’ away games producing 4.50, Heidenheim to win, Over 2.5 goals and Both teams to score markets seem interesting.
