The Round 19 Bundesliga match between Heidenheim and RB Leipzig will take place on 24 January at Voith-Arena. Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Heidenheim
Heidenheim drew 1:1 away at Wolfsburg in the previous round. The home side have not won in five Bundesliga matches (2 draws, 3 defeats). This is Heidenheim's second-longest winless run in the 2025/26 Bundesliga, yet the club managed to score in four of those matches. However, the home side have still not kept a clean sheet this season. Thanks to the single point gained, the home side moved out of the relegation zone, but the gap is only one point.
- Both sides scored in 6 of Heidenheim's last 7 Bundesliga matches.
- At home, the home side have failed to win in 5 of their last 6 Bundesliga matches (3 draws, 2 defeats).
- The club scored in 5 of its last 7 home games in this competition.
Potential Heidenheim Lineup (4-4-2)*
Diant Ramaj – Benedikt Gimber, Patrick Mainka, Marvin Busch, Jonas Fehrenbach – Jan Schöppner, Adrian Beck, Niklas Dorsch, Arijon Ibrahimovic – Matthias Honsak, Marvin Pieringer.
Defender Leart Paqarada and forward Budu Zivzivadze will miss the match due to injuries.
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig were beaten 1:5 at home by Bayern in the previous round. The visiting side have suffered their second heavy defeat of the current championship and their third heavy loss in four Bundesliga matches (1 win). Note that in the defeats during this period RB Leipzig conceded at least three goals. Nevertheless, the visitors remain among the four most reliable defenses in the league (24 goals conceded). In the main table the visiting side occupy fifth place, one point behind the Champions League zone.
- The visiting side beat Heidenheim in 4 of the last 5 Bundesliga head-to-heads (1 draw).
- RB Leipzig failed to score more than once in 9 of their previous 10 away league matches.
- At least four goals were scored in 4 of the club's last 5 matches in this competition.
Potential RB Leipzig Lineup (4-3-3)*
Péter Gulácsi – David Raum, Castello Lukeba, Willi Orban, Ridle Baku – Xaver Schlager, Christoph Baumgartner, Nicolas Seiwald – Romulo, Antonio Nusa, Yann Diomande.
Forward Johan Bakayoko and midfielder Assan Ouédraogo are injured.
Heidenheim vs RB Leipzig: Match Prediction
The home side have taken a significant portion of their points in the current championship at home. The home side have avoided defeat in 5 of 9 home matches (2 wins, 3 draws), while their two losses came against Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, who lead the tournament in wins. The opponent does not look easy either, yet the visiting side appear not to be in their best form at the moment. Yes, RB Leipzig have a clear advantage in head-to-heads, but in the entire Bundesliga history meetings Heidenheim have lost to them by more than one goal only once.
It is worth noting that away games in the 2025/26 Bundesliga have been difficult for RB Leipzig. In their last five away matches the visiting side have registered only one win (2 draws, 2 defeats). Moreover, the visiting side have won away by a margin of at least two goals in only 2 of their previous 19 league away matches. It is unlikely we should expect a confident performance from the visiting side against a Heidenheim that is fighting desperately to survive.
Prediction: Heidenheim (+1.5)
