Heidenheim take on the visitors Sandhausen in the round 33 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, May 20th at
Heidenheim interrupted their four-match unbeaten streak over the past weekend and lost away to Paderborn (3-2). Interestingly, Heidenheim was leading with a score of 2-1 at halftime but conceded twice in the second half and ultimately lost. However, nothing catastrophic happened, even though Hamburg came closer to Frank Schmidt's team. Heidenheim has upcoming matches against the outsiders Sandhausen and Regensburg, and the probability of the team earning six points and securing direct promotion to the top tier is quite high. While Heidenheim occasionally faces difficulties in away matches, their home record is the best in the division. With eleven wins, four draws, and one loss, along with forty goals scored and sixteen conceded, they have a very impressive background.

Sandhausen, with 28 points, currently sit at the bottom of the Bundesliga 2 table. Honestly, it seems likely that this team will have to spend the next season in the third division. Theoretically, Sandhausen could still reach the promotion playoff zone, but it appears highly unlikely, especially considering their recent defeats against Eintracht and Hansa, which were crucial matches for them. In order for Gerhard Kleppinger's team to grasp at the "straw of salvation," they must win the away game against Heidenheim. However, given that they have only achieved three wins, three draws, and suffered ten losses (!) away from home throughout the season, with 17 goals scored and 29 conceded, it becomes challenging.
In my opinion, Sandhausen's chances of at least drawing against Heidenheim are close to zero. The hosts are superior to their opponents in all aspects of the game, highly motivated, and perform excellently on their home turf. Additionally, after two disappointing setbacks, Frank Schmidt's players will be particularly determined, and the only question is how many goals Sandhausen will concede. I believe that if the hosts don't squander their opportunities as they did in the match against Magdeburg, scoring two goals is the minimum expectation. Considering all the defensive issues the visitors face, there may even be more goals. My prediction: Home team to Win + Over 1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Heidenheim to win and Over 1.5 scored goals.
