⚪ In the 6th round, the "Schwaben" faced a challenging away fixture against Cologne (2-1). The hosts broke through the defense and opened the scoring as early as the 3rd minute. Sebastian Hoeneß's team needed time to regroup, and in the 28th minute, after pressing by Ermedin Demirović, they earned a penalty, which the captain converted.

Heidenheim Team Overview
🔴 After enduring four consecutive defeats, the Red-Blue-Whites hosted Augsburg (2-1), who themselves were on a three-game losing streak. The first half was uneventful, but after the break, Frank Schmidt changed the dynamic, and the hosts played with more intensity. Just two minutes into the second half, Sir Lord Conte set up Mikkel Kaufmann for the opener, and six minutes later, Kaufmann returned the favor by assisting Conte's goal. The hosts had opportunities to extend their lead, but their finishing let them down. In stoppage time, Augsburg managed to pull one back but couldn't achieve more. This victory marked the Red-Blue-Whites' first win in the league, lifting them from the bottom to 17th place with only four goals scored-still the worst tally in the league after Hamburg.

❌ Deniz Undav, Finn Ole Becker, Silas, Leonidas Stergiou, and Justin Diehl remain sidelined due to injuries.
Heidenheim
🎙 Frank Schmidt after the match: "The first three points were crucial, and now we want to keep this momentum going. It would be great if we could make an impact in Stuttgart. That would boost our confidence and stability. Stuttgart are definitely the favorites. But it's entirely possible that we can achieve something."
❌ Marvin Pieringer, Leart Paqarada, Frank Feller, and Budu Zivzivadze will definitely not play. The participation of Thomas Keller, Patrick Mainka, Mathias Honsak, Stefan Schimmer, Sirlord Conteh, and Mikkel Kaufmann is also in doubt.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Tobias Stieler. Over his last 10 matches, he has averaged 3.1 yellow cards per game. Both teams are known for their fair play, so the prediction is under 4.5 cards. This bet has been successful in Stuttgart's last 8 home games and in 19 of Stieler's last 20 matches.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Stuttgart have scored 7 goals in their last five games, while Heidenheim have netted 4. Neither team is particularly prolific, so the prediction is under 3.5 goals, a trend that has held in Heidenheim's last 8 away matches. Additionally, Stuttgart have scored fewer than 2.5 goals in 6 consecutive matches.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Stuttgart average 6.4 corners per game after 5 rounds, while Heidenheim average 5. Considering the home advantage, the prediction is Stuttgart's individual total over 5.5 corners, which has come through in 6 of the last 7 matches for the "Swabians".
Editorial Prediction
Stuttgart are clear favorites as they aim to extend their winning streak to three matches and make amends in front of their home crowd following a loss in Basel. Heidenheim, despite winning their opening match, continue to struggle both offensively and defensively. Last season, the visitors managed to take all three points from this fixture, but this time, it seems unlikely they'll even secure one, as the Swabians have been undefeated at the MHP Arena this season. Our prediction: Stuttgart win. Possible scoreline: 2-0.
