Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
HSV will be aiming to extend their winning run to four matches when they take on fellow promotion-chasing Heidenheim in the 2. Bundesliga round 20. Die Rothosen have a chance to overtake Darmstadt in top position, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the away team. January signing Andras Nemeth could make his first 2. Bundesliga start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-0 win over Hansa, whereas Mario Vuskovic is banned for the match.
All Amaechi, Mickel, Heil, Suhonen, and Krahn miss out with injuries. The hosts, on the other hand, failed to extend their winning run to five games at the weekend, with the team losing to Eintracht Braunschweig on the road. Heidenheim, though, are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and we are positive that they will hold HSV to a draw. Adrian Beck and Elidon Qenaj should be the only absentees in the home team.
