The runaway leaders in the Bundesliga continue their campaign on Saturday, as Bayer Leverkusen bid to open up an eight-point advantage at the summit over Bayern Munich. However, Heidenheim could present a tricky opponent this weekend.
Before Betting On Heidenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen
A stunning campaign for Bayer Leverkusen reached new heights last weekend after claiming a dominant home victory against Bayern Munich. The success has enabled fans to dare to dream that the impossible could be achieved this term, with the German side chasing a first-ever Bundesliga win. They come into this round five points clear, and that advantage could be stretched to eight points this weekend.
Heidenheim are also in solid recent form, and they could yet have their sights set on a European finish this term. The German side currently sits ninth in the standings, but they are just five points off sixth-place Eintracht Frankfurt. The home side have avoided defeat in their last five matches, but they have won just once over that period.
This will only be the third time that these sides have collided in a professional fixture. Leverkusen landed a 4-1 success in the reverse fixture this term, but the leaders were beaten 2-1 in the only other clash between the sides. However, it could be hard to ignore Leverkusen’s dominant form this term, as they are unbeaten in their last 31 competitive matches.
However, Heidenheim are also on their best unbeaten sequence in the top-flight after avoiding defeat in their last eight matches. Only one promoted side has enjoyed a longer unbeaten run in their first season in the Bundesliga, with Leipzig avoiding defeat in 13 matches in their first campaign.
