Heidenheim vs Union Prediction 11 April 2026
🔊 Heidenheim, who are all but relegated to the 2. Bundesliga, host Union Berlin at the Voith-Arena. Union sit mid-table but have yet to secure their spot in the top flight for next season. Frank Schmidt's side will aim to maintain their dignity and show resilience in the remaining six matches, as they have done in the last two rounds where defeats were expected. Given that the capital club tends to play on the counter, the hosts have a chance to end their prolonged winless run and claim a long-awaited victory.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round, Heidenheim turned the game around by scoring twice in added time to snatch a victory (2-1). This was one of the team's three wins in the current championship. Heidenheim have never lost to Union in the Bundesliga, boasting four wins and one draw.
Head-to-head statistics Heidenheim - Union
Heidenheim Team Overview
🔴 In Matchday 28, Heidenheim drew with Gladbach (2-2). The team came back thanks to a goal from Patrick Mainka, took the lead through Marnon Busch, but ultimately settled for just one point. This result did not enhance their standings prospects: they are nine points away from the playoff zone with six matches remaining.
🔵 After draws with Bayer Leverkusen (3-3) and Gladbach, the team avoided defeat in two consecutive matches for the first time in 2026. However, their winless streak now stretches to 15 games. Alongside Wolfsburg, Heidenheim have conceded the most goals in the league, with 63 goals against. They've scored only 29 goals themselves - fewer than any team except St. Pauli. Despite their challenging situation, Schmidt's side is capable of putting up a fight and will aim to secure maximum points, especially in the remaining home fixtures at Voith-Arena.
Match Results: Heidenheim
Union Team Overview
🔴 Andrei Ilić's goal helped Union secure a 1-1 draw against St. Pauli, who are currently in the relegation playoff zone. The Berlin club maintained a seven-point cushion from the bottom three. Over their last 10 Bundesliga matches, the "Iron Ones" have netted just eight goals and have scored more than once in only one of their last 12 games. Steffen Baumgart's team isn't challenging for top positions in the table, but with a favorable outcome this round, they could overtake ninth-placed Mainz.
⚪ Union's primary aim is to keep a safe distance from the 16th spot. The Berliners have the league's lowest possession rate, averaging 40%, so even against Heidenheim, they are unlikely to take the initiative, instead focusing on counterattacks and set pieces.

Latest news
Heidenheim
🎙️ Frank Schmidt after the draw in Gladbach: "Before the break, we had two great chances to take the lead, but we didn't capitalize on them. At halftime, we decided to increase our aggression in pressing-it worked. We went up 2-1 at a tough moment for our opponents. But then we made mistakes and conceded. This reflects our current standing in the table. Nevertheless, a draw in Gladbach boosts our confidence, even though we once again didn't reward ourselves for a good performance."
❌ Leart Paqarada and Sirlord Conteh are injured and will not play on Saturday. Adrian Beck missed the match against Gladbach due to illness, and his participation is doubtful. Hennes Behrens may also miss the game due to an injury.
Union
🎙️ Steffen Baumgart on the match against Heidenheim: "They are a team that never gives up, which makes them very difficult to beat. I haven't managed to defeat Frank Schmidt in the Bundesliga yet. Heidenheim always create chances, no matter who they face. We're heading there for three points, but we know it won't be easy."
❌ Matteo Raab and Robert Skov remain sidelined due to injuries.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Christian Dingert will officiate the match at Voith-Arena. In his last outing, the referee handed out five yellow cards and two reds. Heidenheim are among the most disciplined teams in the league, averaging 1.5 bookings per match, while Union are more aggressive with 2.1 cards. Considering the head-to-head stats, where the Berlin side consistently outnumbers their opponents in bookings, we back Union to win the yellow card battle.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Taking into account head-to-head stats and the visitors' attacking struggles, it's worth considering Union's individual total under 1.5 goals. Baumgart's side have scored more than one goal in only one of their last 12 league matches. Despite Heidenheim's weak defense, Union's playing style doesn't favor high-scoring affairs, making this a reasonable option.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Neither team ranks among the leaders in average corners per game. Heidenheim average 4.5 corners, while Union manage 4.9. Based on this data, it makes sense to consider total corners under 9.5, which has occurred in seven consecutive Heidenheim matches and 7 of Union's last 8 games.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers have Union as slight favorites based on the current standings of the teams. However, head-to-head statistics and Berlin's lackluster scoring suggest leaning towards Heidenheim not losing. Schmidt's side seems to have accepted relegation, which might work in their favor-less pressure allows them to play more freely, as seen in their matches against Bayer and Gladbach. Union will likely focus on defense and counterattacks, but securing all three points seems unlikely for them. It's possible the hosts could claim their fourth win of the season with a scoreline of 2-1.
