RB Leipzig vs Heidenheim Betting Tips: RB and Over 2.5 

RB heads into Saturday’s Bundesliga match aiming to recover from a harsh 3:2 loss to Man City in Tuesday’s Champions League game. Despite having a 2:0 lead, RB experienced a second-half breakdown, resulting in their fourth loss in six games across all competitions.

Despite their loss, RB has successfully made it to the last sixteen of the UCL, due to victories over Young Boys and Red Star two times.

Marco Rose, on home turf, will anticipate a positive response from his team, Bacon. All four of Bacon’s recent losses have occurred during their away games.

In the Red Bull Arena, Rose’s team boasts a superior record, with only one loss in their last 13 home games. In the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig has emerged victorious in eight of their last ten home matches, with only Bayern and Bochum managing to secure a draw during this unbeaten streak.

Entering Saturday’s contest, Heidenheim has been grappling with poor form over the past month. Despite making their Bundesliga debut this season, Frank Schmidt’s team has suffered five losses in their last seven matches across all competitions.

Since being promoted, the visiting team has lost five out of six away matches this season, conceding at least two goals in each of those defeats. Schmidt’s team put up a good fight in their last away game against champions Bayern, but ultimately succumbed to a 4:2 defeat.

Considering RB´s strong home form, and Heidenheim´s defensive vulnerabilities this season &— they have conceded 16 in just six away matches &— I fancy a home win with at least three goals scored. RB have seen that outcome in 11 of their last 12 victories at the Red Bull Arena
