Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Heidenheim
Match Time & Date:
17/02/2024
15:30
Prediction: 1-3
Bayer Leverkusen
After rolling over Bayern Munich 3-0 in the Bundesliga derby, Bayer Leverkusen will look to retain top position in the standings when they take on Heidenheim on Matchday 22. The BayArena outfit are on the right track to win their first Bundesliga trophy, but Liverpool target Xabi Alonso must warn his men against complacency. Odilon Kossounou is back from international duty, while all Exequiel Palacios, Victor Boniface, and Arthur are sidelined with injuries.
Heidenheim, on the other hand, did well to shock Werder Bremen on the road in their last league fixture, with the team moving closer to the Conference League berth. Bayer Leverkusen, though, are more of a team than Heidenheim and we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. All Exequiel Palacios, Victor Boniface, and Arthur are out of contention with injuries for the league leaders.
