Bayern Munich vs Heidenheim Prediction & Tips
Bayern will surely have their minds set on the second leg against PSG, after falling by a narrow 5-4 margin in the highest-scoring UCL semifinal in history, played on Tuesday. In the Bundesliga, Bayern has already clinched the title and comes into this match off an incredible 4-3 victory, coming back from a 0-3 deficit in the previous round—a result that tied the league record for most comebacks in a single season by a team (eight). Those four goals also extended their Bundesliga scoring record to 113 goals this season, a figure they will look to increase to avoid going two games without a win against bottom-of-the-table teams, following the 2-2 draw against then-last-place Mainz in December.
The Bavarian side, which continues to break records, now faces one of the most vulnerable defenses in the Bundesliga, that of Heidenheim, which has conceded 66 goals—a key factor in its current situation. Escaping the bottom three is practically impossible for Frank Schmidt’s men, as their four-point deficit to 16th place (and the promotion spot) with just three matches remaining has never been overcome in the era of three points per win in the Bundesliga. Despite everything, it’s not all bad news for the visitors, who have racked up as many wins in the last three matches (W2, L1) as they did in the previous 23 (D7, L14).
