Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Out-of-sorts Heidenheim will look to put an end to their five-game losing run in the Bundesliga when they face Stuttgart on Matchday 14. Heidenheim do not seem to be at their sharpest and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. All Mikkel Kaufmann, Marvin Pieringer, and Luka Janes miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Union Berlin and we predict that they will take advantage of Heidenheim’s vulnerabilities. In their last meeting in the German top flight the two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon. All El Bilal Toure, Deniz Undav, Jamie Leweling, Luca Raimund, and Dan-Axel Zagadou remain on the sidelines with injuries, speaking of the away team. In Undav’s absence, a man to watch in the away team will be Bosnia international Ermedin Demirovic.
