Main betting Tip: HC -1 Leipzig
RB Leipzig is the clear favourite in the match. Despite a heavy home defeat to Bayern Munich in their most recent outing, Ole Werner’s side retain superior overall quality, a markedly better goalscoring record (33 goals) and a stronger points tally (32) compared with Heidenheim’s 13 points and only 17 goals scored this season. The head-to-head record underlines Leipzig’s dominance: in the last five meetings across all competitions, RB Leipzig have claimed four wins while Heidenheim have yet to register one. Heidenheim’s defensive frailties (39 goals conceded) and modest home record (2 wins, 3 draws, 4 defeats) further favour an away victory.
Betting Tip 2: Both teams score? Yes
The recommendation that both teams will score is grounded in the defensive vulnerabilities and attacking characteristics of both sides. Heidenheim, despite their low goal return, have conceded frequently and are capable of finding the net on home soil when afforded chances. Leipzig, with a potent attack and an aggressive approach under Ole Werner, has scored regularly this season. Recent matches indicate a tendency for matches involving these sides to produce goals at both ends. The supplied best odds for “Both teams to score — Yes” is 1xBet — 1.54. Given the statistical tendencies and recent encounters, the “Both teams score — Yes” selection represents a pragmatic supplementary stake alongside the main away-win prediction.

Betting Tip 3: Over 3.5 goals
The third prediction is for over 3.5 goals. This match bears the ingredients for a high-scoring contest: Leipzig possesses the attacking capacity to generate multiple goals, and Heidenheim’s defensive record suggests they could concede several. Furthermore, the last direct meeting resulted in multiple goals for the visitors, and recent results involving RB Leipzig — including their heavy loss to Bayern Munich — underscore the potential for matches with high goal totals. The provided data specifies the Over 3.5 market as a recommended selection; however, an explicit best odds for this exact market was not included in the supplied information. Bettors are therefore advised to consult 1xBet or other bookmakers for the current Over 3.5 odds before placing stakes.
Statistics for 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 vs RB Leipzig
1. FC Heidenheim 1846 team news!
Under head coach Frank Schmidt, Heidenheim have struggled for consistency in the Bundesliga. The team have collected 13 points from 18 matches, with a record of 3 wins, 4 draws and 11 defeats and a goal tally of 17:39. Home form has not delivered the stability required to climb the table: 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats at the Voith-Arena. Schmidt’s side typically set up to be difficult to break down in spells but have conceded frequently this season, which has contributed to their precarious league position. Offensively, Heidenheim have been modest in output and will need to lift their goal production if they are to challenge a top-five side such as RB Leipzig.
RB Leipzig team news!
Ole Werner’s RB Leipzig have been more productive in attack, scoring 33 goals so far, and have accumulated 32 points through 10 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. Their away record reads 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats, indicating some vulnerability on the road but also the capacity to secure results away from home. The recent heavy home defeat to Bayern Munich is a blemish, but it should not obscure Leipzig’s overall quality and squad depth. Werner is likely to set up his team to press and to exploit Heidenheim’s defensive weaknesses, relying on a forward line that has been effective through the season.
H2H statistics
In the last five meetings across all competitions between 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 and RB Leipzig, Heidenheim have recorded 0 wins, there has been 1 draw and RB Leipzig have won 4 times.

Last results 1. FC Heidenheim 1846
In their last five matches across all competitions, 1. FC Heidenheim have registered 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The current form is therefore poor, although the team have shown some resilience in securing draws rather than straight defeats in a portion of recent fixtures. That said, the inability to secure victories has left Heidenheim languishing in the relegation zone and in urgent need of points.
Last results RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig’s last five outings have produced 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. The sequence indicates an uneven run of form, including high-profile setbacks, but also the capacity to claim important victories. The mixed recent form suggests that while the visitors are not invulnerable, their overall quality and attacking potency remain decisive factors.

Conclusion
RB Leipzig enter this fixture as clear favourites on paper and in market terms. The superior points tally, stronger goalscoring record and favourable head-to-head history underpin an away-win expectation. Heidenheim’s defensive record and inconsistent home performances render them vulnerable, even when coached prudently by Frank Schmidt. Our consolidated view: the principal market favours a Handicap -1 RB Leipzig victory, complemented by the realistic likelihood that both teams will score and that the match may produce more than 3.5 goals.
