FC Union Berlin vs Heidenheim prediction 2024-02-24
In-form Union Berlin will try to extend their winning run in Bundesliga to three games when they take on Heidenheim on Matchday 23. The capital club have been impressive at the back of late and they are likely to rely on their solid defence in Saturday’s game as well. Rani Khedira has joined Andras Schafer in the recovery room, while both Kevin Volland and Diogo Leite are banned for the match.
Heidenheim, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen. Frank Schmidt’s troops are stuck in the middle of the table and given Union Berlin’s signs of improvement in February; home win should definitely be considered. Both Thomas Keller and Elidon Qenaj are out of contention with injuries, while Denis Thomalla is a major doubt (illness) and the forward will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Prediction: 2-0 (Union Berlin)
