Double chance : 1. FC Heidenheim or draw

This Bundesliga match between 1. FC Heidenheim and FSV Mainz 05 looks like a very close contest, but Mainz come into it in much better shape. Heidenheim have lost three of their last five games and have only won once, so they are struggling a bit. Mainz, on the other hand, are flying high with four wins and a draw from their last five matches, showing they are in excellent form.

Recent meetings between these two have been tight and low-scoring, with three of the last five ending with two goals or fewer, meaning it's often a battle. Given Heidenheim's poor run and Mainz's strong away form, Mainz are the team to back here. This should be a fairly open match, but Mainz's confidence and consistency should see them edge out a win on the road.
