Head-to-head statistics Heidenheim - Bayern

Heidenheim Team Overview
Heidenheim have already started their official season - the side, who dropped down to the 2. Bundesliga, have played two matches there. The results, to put it plainly, are mixed: a tricky game against Osnabrück (4:3) raised questions about the defence, and the defeat to Hertha (1:4) only repeated them. That said, the heavy loss to the Berliners was the first since mid-January with a three-goal margin. Though over those seven months their opponents included Bayern (3:3), Bayer (3:3), and Borussia Dortmund (2:3).

Bayern Munich Team Overview
Bayern have not yet played in any official matches, but the team faces a much more packed start - straight into trophy action. In just four days they play in Dortmund against local Borussia for the German Super Cup. Vincent Kompany's side have been preparing for the important match for over a month, during which they also flew to South Korea. Perhaps the most telling results to study are the wins in friendlies against Aston Villa (2:1) and RB Leipzig (3:1). They outshot the English side by a factor of two (16:8 in shots on goal and 8:3 on target), while the game against the German side was less eventful. Nevertheless, Bayern are winning partly on class and quality, partly on character.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Bayern are getting through the summer on class - in some matches they were waiting for Olise, Kane and other players back from the World Cup, in others they performed pragmatically and with purpose. With the German Super Cup just four days away, it seems unlikely the champions will push things and go all out. The match will follow a calm script with another Bayern win on class. Given that Heidenheim have only lost heavily once in the last six months, we'll go with the Heidenheim +2.5 handicap.
