Heidenheim will host Werder Bremen at the Voith-Arena on Saturday in the final round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have endured a disappointing campaign but have picked up important points at the tail end of the season and are headed for the relegation playoffs, although a remarkable set of results on the closing day could see them secure a dramatic escape.
They picked up an impressive 3-0 victory over Union Berlin in their last match, with Jan Schoppner's second-half strike sandwiched between goals from Adrian Beck.
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league this season, with their weak goal difference now set to deny them a spot in Europe. They played out a goalless draw against RB Leipzig last time out and had multiple chances to get on the scoresheet but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
The visitors sit eighth in the league table with 48 points from 33 matches. They are only three points behind Mainz in sixth place, but have a goal difference of -6 and can practically be considered out of the running for continental football.

Heidenheim vs Werder Bremen Prediction
Frank Schmidt's men have picked up two wins and a draw in their last three matches. They have, however, won just one of their last nine home matches and could struggle here.
Bremen are on a run of three consecutive draws and are undefeated in their last seven outings. They have been solid on the road of late and should avoid defeat here.
