Heidenheim are struggling a bit lately, having lost three of their last five matches. They did manage one win and a draw in that run, but their form has been inconsistent.

Leverkusen haven't been winning much recently either, with just one win in their last five games, though they have drawn three of them. When these two teams have met before, the games have often been very open with lots of goals, including a very heavy defeat for Heidenheim earlier this season. Based on their current form and the recent meetings, this looks like a match where Leverkusen is more likely to avoid defeat.
