| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Potential Match-Winners
- Romulo da Cruz (RB Leipzig) – Odds-on in the scorer markets, Romulo is Leipzig’s focal point in attack and is priced at 5/4 @ Bet365 (44.4%) to score anytime. His movement will test Heidenheim’s defence that’s conceded 39 goals already.
- Antonio Nusa (RB Leipzig) – Known for his pace and ability to get in behind, Nusa’s runs could exploit Heidenheim’s low possession and poor ball retention numbers.
- Marvin Pieringer (Heidenheim) – One of Heidenheim’s key attacking outlets. If the hosts are to get anything, Pieringer’s ability to convert one of their rare big chances (Heidenheim have missed 28 big chances this season) will be vital.
- David Raum (RB Leipzig) – With strong passing accuracy (84.4%) and a willingness to get forward, Raum’s supply line could be decisive from wide areas, especially against a low-possession opponent.

Final Thoughts
With RB Leipzig showing a clear edge in both recent meetings and season-long stats, the value looks to be with the away side. Heidenheim’s issues at both ends – no clean sheets, low possession, and missed chances – set up well for Leipzig’s clinical attack and solid defence. Will Leipzig’s strong away record hold up, or can Heidenheim finally break their head-to-head duck? The most likely scenario points to another Leipzig win, and we’re backing them at 4/7 @ Bet365 (63.6%) as the standout pick.
