Heidenheim vs Werder Bremen Prediction 17 May 2025
🔊 Heidenheim are fighting until the end. Unlike their opponents, this isn't the final match of the season for the hosts. They still have a crucial battle ahead to secure their spot in the country's top league. Meanwhile, the "Bremen Musicians" are coming over for their final rehearsal. Let's make a few predictions for this encounter.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over their nine head-to-head encounters, Heidenheim have secured four victories, Werder have claimed two wins, and three matches have ended in a draw.
The first-round match of the current Bundesliga season was a high-scoring affair, finishing 3-3. For Werder, Marco Grüll netted a brace, while Marvin Ducksch added another. For the visitors, Jan Schöppner, Luca Kerber, and Leo Scienza found the back of the net.
The history of their meetings also reveals that in four home games, Heidenheim have never lost to Werder, winning three of those encounters. Considering these facts, it's reasonable to consider the bet Heidenheim not to lose as a potentially good option.
Head-to-head statistics Heidenheim - Werder Bremen

Heidenheim Team Overview
🔵 Frank Schmidt's team seems to leave everything to the last minute, just like most people: as soon as the threat of relegation from the Bundesliga loomed, Heidenheim stepped up. The team has gone on a three-match unbeaten run with a combined goal difference of 4-0 (two wins and one draw).
🔗 In the last round, Heidenheim secured a crucial three points in an away match against Union, confidently winning in Berlin (3-0). A brace from Adrian Beck and a goal by Jan Schöppner lifted the team to 16th place in the standings, granting them a spot in the relegation play-offs to retain their Bundesliga status. Their play-off opponent remains unknown and will be the third-placed team from the 2. Bundesliga.
Match Results: Heidenheim

Werder Bremen Team Overview
🟢 It's likely that the "Green-Whites" will once again find themselves frustratingly close to the European competition spots, just like last season. After kicking off an impressive run of four consecutive wins, Werder then drew three matches in a row, which dashed their realistic hopes of breaking into the top six. In the last round, Werder played out a goalless draw at home against Leipzig.
🔗 Fans are probably experiencing flashbacks to last year when the team finished the season with 42 points-the same as the eighth-placed team-but the "Musicians" ended up in ninth, missing out on a spot in the Conference League. Notably, Heidenheim, who are their opponents in the final round this time, were the ones who finished eighth back then.

Latest news
Heidenheim
❌ First-choice goalkeeper Kevin Müller might return for the match against Werder after missing the previous game due to a concussion. Additionally, Sirlord Conte was not included in the squad last round as the forward continues his recovery from a knee issue.
Werder Bremen
❌ Defender Milos Veljkovic will miss the last away game of the season, having been sidelined for the previous seven matches due to a calf injury.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Looking back at the head-to-head history, it's noteworthy that Heidenheim have never lost at home to Werder. Additionally, in eight out of their nine encounters, at least three goals have been scored. Therefore, betting on over 2.5 goals seems quite likely.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In contrast to the high-scoring nature of their first-round match, there weren't many corners. Werder managed just 4 corners, while Heidenheim had only two. Over their last 10 matches, Heidenheim have taken 42 corners (averaging 4.2 per game), and Werder have taken 47 (4.7 per game). Considering this data, it's reasonable to expect a relatively low number of corners in this encounter as well. A bet on total corners under 10.5 appears well-founded.
Editors' Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams and their head-to-head statistics, a high-scoring match seems likely-each of their last four encounters has seen both teams scoring at least once. Looking at the stats from matches at the Voith-Arena, Heidenheim have never lost, yet Werder have consistently found the net. Therefore, betting on both teams to score (yes) appears to be a well-founded choice for the upcoming clash.
