Union vs Heidenheim Prediction 29 November 2025
🔊 In the 12th round at the "An der Alten Försterei," Union will aim to break their winless streak against Heidenheim in the Bundesliga. Last season's game in Berlin ended with a heavy defeat for the hosts, but both clubs are experiencing different periods now: Steffen Baumgart's side are on a four-match unbeaten run, while Frank Schmidt's team sit at the bottom of the table, having lost all five away games since the start of the season. In our prediction, we will discuss the capital club's chances of defeating the league's underdogs.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last 16 matches, Heidenheim hold more than double the wins compared to Union: 9 to Union's 4. Three encounters ended in a draw. Last season, the Red-Blue-Whites first defeated the Iron Union at home with a 2-0 victory, and then triumphed in the capital with a commanding 3-0 win.
Head-to-head statistics Union - Heidenheim
Union Team Overview
🔴 "Iron Union" are enjoying a positive stretch this season, remaining unbeaten in four matches. Following their success in the DFB-Pokal, where they triumphed over Arminia Bielefeld (1-1 in regular time and 2-1 in extra time), Baumgart's squad shared points with Freiburg (0-0) and Bayern Munich (2-2). Notably, all three of these matches were played at home. Last weekend, the Berliners traveled to Hamburg to face St. Pauli, who are in a prolonged slump, and Union extended their woes by handing them their eighth league defeat (1-0). Rani Khedira scored the decisive goal late in the first half. After 11 rounds, the team sits in eighth place with 15 points and cannot climb higher with a win, while dropping points could see them fall several places down.

Heidenheim Team Overview
⚪ The "Red-Blue-Whites" hosted Borussia Monchengladbach in the last round and conceded three goals (0-3). It was a toothless performance at the Voith Arena, where Heidenheim play their crucial matches in the battle for those elusive points, reinforcing Frank Schmidt's side as the Bundesliga's main underdogs. Heidenheim have just one win, two draws, and eight losses, five of which came on the road. How the team will handle the pressure in Berlin remains a significant question, considering they have scored the fewest goals in the league - just 8 - and conceded the most - 26.

Latest news
Union
🎙 Steffen Baumgart at the pre-match press conference: "Heidenheim are a team that are generally tough to play against, and despite their previous results, we expect them to be well-prepared. As with any game, it starts at 0-0, and our goal is to secure three points. We'll succeed if we stay focused, leverage our strengths from the start, and maintain concentration for more than 90 minutes. The fact that Heidenheim are at the bottom of the table doesn't mean we can afford to relax."
❌ On Saturday, Union's coaching staff will have to manage without Robert Skov and Andrik Markgraf.
Heidenheim
🎙 Frank Schmidt stated at the press conference: "We don't want to wallow in self-pity after setbacks. Instead, we aim to take control of the situation and, despite the current challenges, display a certain level of confidence. Union are a stable team, and we can only defeat them if we fight in duels, attack cleanly, and once again show the quality in set pieces that we've been lacking in recent weeks."
❌ Buda Zivzivadze has joined the injury list with knee issues. Sirlord Conteh, Frank Feller, Mikkel Kaufmann, and Leart Paqarada are continuing their recovery.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Patrick Ittrich has been appointed as the main referee for this match. In the previous encounter between Hoffenheim and Leipzig, the referee issued five cautions. After 11 rounds, Union players average 2.3 yellow cards per game, while Heidenheim have the league's best record with just 1.5. We opt for Heidenheim's individual total under 2.5 yellow cards-a bet that has come through in their last eight matches.
⚽ Goal Prediction
We've already mentioned the visitors' scoring ability, but the hosts' performance also leaves much to be desired, with only 14 goals after 11 rounds. We are backing under 3.5 total goals, which has been successful in 7 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings between these teams.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Union averages 5 corners per game, while Heidenheim approaches the corner flag 4.5 times on average after 11 rounds. We choose Union's individual total under 6.5 corners-a bet that has hit in 8 of the last 9 matches for the Berlin club.
Editorial Prediction
We anticipate this match might not be the most thrilling, given that Union have the lowest possession rate in the league at 37%, with Heidenheim just ahead at 42%. The winner will be the team that excels in duels, loose ball recovery, and set-pieces. Considering Union rank in the top three for aerial duels won (246), while the Red-Blue-Whites are in the lower half of the table (170), we predict the hosts will have an edge in set-pieces, as demonstrated in their recent match against Bayern at the An der Alten Försterei. Our prediction: Union win. Likely by a narrow margin - 1-0.
