Bayern Munich – 1. FC Heidenheim 1846
Two weeks ago, Bayern won against Galatasaray Istanbul in the Champions League and then faced a promoted team at home in the Bundesliga at the weekend. Now it’s the same story again, only the opponent on Saturday is not Darmstadt, but Heidenheim. You can find out whether the record champions will score eight goals like they did against the Lilies in our Bayern – Heidenheim betting tip.
And just like two weeks ago, Munich beat the Süper Lig champions, this time 2:1, meaning Bayern have already qualified for the last 16 of the top flight. The record champions also recorded a recent success in the Bundesliga. FCB beat BVB 4:0 last Saturday.
Heidenheim, on the other hand, benefited from their home strength again at the weekend. The men from the Ostalb secured their third home win against the top team from Stuttgart to consolidate 13th place. Heidenheim are now looking for their first away win against Munich

Bayern Form & Balance Check
Munich are slowly getting back into their dominant rhythm. In the Champions League, Bayern once again secured twelve points from their first four games and have now gone 17 matches in the group stage of the top flight without losing a point. The last defeat in this phase of the top flight even dates back to 2017.
Bayern have also already qualified for the round of 16 thanks to their 2:1 win against Galatasaray. FCB’s dominance in the league is also clear to see. The Munich side are two points behind league leaders Leverkusen and are still without defeat. Last weekend, Bayern also claimed a commanding 4:0 victory in the classic against Borussia Dortmund
Kane as a real goal scorer
The central construction site in Bayern’s attack last season was the center of attack. The departure of Robert Lewandowski was not adequately compensated for. Without a classic center forward, FCB were often too transparent. Neither Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting nor Mathys Tel were able to replace the Pole. In the summer, a genuine center forward was therefore at the top of Bayern’s wish list.
After much toing and froing, FCB finally presented the striker of their dreams. Harry Kane moved from Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League to the Isar and is now aiming for his first club title in his career with Bayern. The Englishman has hit the ground running, scoring an impressive 19 goals in his first 15 competitive games in the record champions’ shirt

Heidenheim Form & Balance Check
This summer was a historic one in Heidenheim an der Brenz, as local side FCH were promoted from the Bundesliga 2 to the German top flight for the first time. After promotion, many experts also saw the chances of the men from the Ostalb staying in the league as quite good. And at the moment, it seems that these experts are right.
Heidenheim are always an unpleasant opponent and are on an equal footing in many games. This was also the case in the previous week, when VfB Stuttgart visited Brenz and gritted their teeth against the Heidenheim defense. With ten points from their first ten games, Heidenheim are currently in 13th place
Heidenheim’s attacking trio
The team from 1. FC Heidenheim impresses with a lot of consistency. Coach Frank Schmidt’s men don’t rotate much in attack in particular. Tim Kleindienst and Eren Dinkci have played every game for Heidenheim in the Bundesliga so far. Jan-Niklas Beste, on the other hand, has missed one game due to the birth of his child.
And the trio have also performed well so far. The three men have contributed a total of 13 goals, accounting for 87% of all Heidenheim’s goals. In addition, seven of the ten assists are also attributable to the trio. The three will now be looking to get back on the scoresheet against Bayern.
Heidenheim facts & analysis
- In 13th place in the Bundesliga table
- Won 2:0 against Stuttgart in their last match
- First away point in the Bundesliga
Predicted line-up – last update on November 9, 2023
Coach Thomas Tuchel won’t rotate much against Heidenheim either. We only expect two changes compared to the success against Galatasaray in the Premier League. Firstly, Kimmich will have to return to the stands as he is still suspended. Secondly, Jamal Musiala was injured and will miss a few games for FCB.
We also expect the visitors from the Ostalb to play in a 4-2-3-1. Against Stuttgart, Heidenheim were very stable in defense and repeatedly made pinpricks. We therefore expect little movement in the starting eleven. Only Jonas Föhrenbach could return to the starting line-up
