FC Heidenheim – Borussia Mönchengladbach
We are slowly entering the decisive phase of the Bundesliga, in which it is important to score well in order to go into the final matchdays with self-confidence. Heidenheim and Gladbach meet on Saturday, two teams that are direct rivals this season, albeit somewhat surprisingly. Find out who will come out on top in this clash in our Heidenheim – Gladbach betting tip.
Heidenheim have had a frustrating matchday. They lost 1-0 away against a dominant Augsburg side who were able to make the most of their strengths. Offensively, Heidenheim did little in this game and failed to convert their few chances into anything tangible.
It was Gladbach’s turn in the cup quarter-finals against third-division side Saarbrücken during the week and, like FC Bayern and Eintracht Frankfurt, they were dealt a cold shower. In the 90th + 3rd minute, Saarbrücken counter-attacked the Bundesliga club in the manner of the house and thus shot themselves into the semi-finals in the last minute. It will be exciting to see how Gladbach deal with this dramatic defeat on the next matchday

Heidenheim Form & Balance Check
Heidenheim have completely disproved many pre-season predictions and are playing a very solid season. They are back in eleventh place in the table and are still able to keep their distance from the relegation zone.
However, things have been more difficult in the second half of the season than at the start and they have only managed one win from their last eight games. The team has lost its last two games and is now looking to make amends
Efficiency at Heidenheim
Heidenheim are very committed and have the most sprints in the Bundesliga this season, as well as a top running performance. However, they often fail to reward themselves for this effort and are unable to use their work ethic effectively. If they manage to become even more efficient in the distribution of their energy, they could do well against Borussia again.
Heidenheim facts & analysis
- Most sprints in the league
- Only one win in the second half of the season
- Last game lost
Gladbach Form & Balance Check
Gladbach have been searching for their form since the start of the season and have fallen short of their own expectations. In the eight games of the second half of the season, they have only won once and are in twelfth place. Places 7-15 in the league are all within eight points of each other, so Gladbach must be careful not to get into the dangerous zone
Defensively weak Gladbach
With 49 goals conceded in their 25 games so far this season, Gladbach have the third-worst defense in the Bundesliga. Only VfL Bochum and bottom-placed Darmstadt are worse than them. If Borussia are to have any hope of beating Heidenheim, their defense must be more stable and dynamic
Gladbach facts & analysis
- Third worst defense
- twelfth place in the table
- Last game draw
Coach Frank Schmidt will have to do without Gimber, who is suspended for yellow cards, against Gladbach. Siersleben will replace him in central defense. Pieringer, who had to be substituted against Augsburg on the last matchday, is also doubtful. Theuerkauf is an option for him.
Gladbach coach Gerardo Seoane will not have to do without any of his regulars. Hack could move into the starting eleven after his convincing performance in the draw against Cologne, while Neuhaus is also likely to take Reitz’s place
Heidenheim – Gladbach head-to-head & stats
In total, this encounter has only taken place three times. And Borussia Mönchengladbach won all three of those games. The first leg this season ended 2:1, but Heidenheim put in a convincing performance. We’ll see on Saturday afternoon whether they can get their first win against Gladbach in the upcoming game
