David vs Goliath at the Voith-Arena: Heidenheim's Survival Test
Merece la Pena Puntuación Futmetrix: 61/100. This isn't a six-pointer—it's an execution: league leaders Bayern against a relegation-haunted Heidenheim side clinging to hope.
The Setup
The Stakes are brutal for one side. Heidenheim sit 16th with just eleven points from thirteen games, their home record a nightmare—two wins from seven attempts (28.6%). Goal difference of minus 16 tells the story of a team drowning. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich remain flawless: twelve wins, zero defeats, 49 goals scored. Away from home, they're even more lethal—83.3% win rate across six matches. The Stars shine brightest: Harry Kane has five goals in his last five games (7.6 average rating), whilst Michael Olise delivers five assists from the same span.
Key Battle
Heidenheim's only path involves suffocating Bayern's width and disrupting their rhythm through compact defending. Bayern will press relentlessly, expecting space to open. The battle: Heidenheim's defensive shape versus Bayern's suffocating possession. One team has the tools to execute; the other is praying for a miracle.
Our Prediction
Bayern 4-1. The visitors dominate from kickoff, controlling possession and tempo. Heidenheim snatch a counter-goal early in the second half—their only moment—before Bayern's quality reasserts itself. Kane and Olise orchestrate the demolition.
