Bayer Leverkusen<\/a> travel to face Bundesliga<\/a> bottom side Heidenheim<\/a> in a clash where the gulf in quality and recent form could hardly be greater. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Leverkusen have dominated this fixture and remain in the top six, Heidenheim are rooted to the foot of the table and are yet to keep a clean sheet this term. Kick-off is at 14:30 on Saturday 21 March at Voith-Arena, a venue where Leverkusen\u2019s recent visits have brought them maximum points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on current form and a dominant head-to-head record, our best bets for this match heavily favour Bayer Leverkusen. The statistics overwhelmingly point to another away win, but there could be value in the goals market given both teams\u2019 defensive vulnerabilities. We\u2019re especially confident in a high-scoring Leverkusen victory, considering their attacking output and Heidenheim\u2019s leaky back line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Over 4.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n3\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>
(25.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing over 4.5 goals because these sides have produced 24 goals in their last five meetings, and both defences have shown vulnerabilities. Leverkusen games average nearly three goals, and Heidenheim have conceded 58 in 26 matches. Recent head-to-heads have included scorelines like 6-0 and 5-2, so a goal-fest is far from unlikely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams To Score \u2013 No<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Betfair<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing ‘No’ because Heidenheim have failed to score in three of their last five meetings with Leverkusen, and Leverkusen have registered seven clean sheets this season. Given Heidenheim\u2019s attack has produced just 24 goals all season, there is a good chance the visitors keep them out again.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
