Hamburg vs Heidenheim Prediction and Betting Tips

Hamburg will host Heidenheim at the Volksparkstadion on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have endured a perhaps expectedly difficult return to the German top-flight and now sit 17th in the table as they continue to search for their first win and goal in this Bundesliga campaign.

They traded tackles with champions Bayern Munich upon returning from the international break last weekend. They suffered a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of the Bavarians, conceding the first four of those goals in the opening half-hour.

Heidenheim have endured an even poorer start to their league campaign after their 5-0 thrashing of Bahlingen in the domestic cup last month. They were beaten 2-0 by Borussia Dortmund last time out, with a red card to Budu Zivzivadze 21 minutes into the contest making an already difficult task nearly impossible.

The visitors, who sit rock-bottom in the division, are one point behind their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them should they secure maximum points in Hamburg on Saturday.

Hamburg vs Heidenheim Prediction

Die Rothosen are on a run of back-to-back defeats in competitive action after going undefeated in their previous two. They have, however, been the better side in this fixture in recent years and will be looking to capitalize on that record this Saturday.

Heidenheim have lost their last four regular season Bundesliga games by an aggregate scoreline of 11-2. They could see their early-season struggles continue this weekend.

Prediction: Hamburg 1-0 Heidenheim
