Stuttgart vs Heidenheim Match Preview

Stuttgart is ranked at the third place with 31 points. This is the spot that gives them a ticket for promotion to next season's top division. They face a direct rival now, so they will try to set things clear with a win. They were in a decent run before the winter break, with two wins, two draws and a loss in the last five matches, where they scored ten goals averaging two goals per game.

Playing at home here surely should give them a slight edge, considering they are the team with the second-best home performance, winning seven out of nine games and scoring 18 goals.

Heidenheim, on the other side, is ranked right after them at the 4th place with 30 points. They have been quite surprising this season as they started slow but improved a lot in the last couple of months. Before the winter break, they were on a run of three wins a draw and a loss in the last five duels and further than that had lost just one of the last nine matches.

In the friendly games during the break, we saw some very nice performances by them, where they won four out of four and scored a total of 14 goals. I expect them to try and come out with a positive result out of this game as they already did in the previous one this season.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score a goal here. Stuttgart is favorite to win because they are playing at home and I doubt they would fail to find the back of the net at least once. Heidenheim is in good momentum and despite how this match ends, I fancy them to score a goal as a minimum.
