MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Heidenheim have been in excellent form recently. Frank Schmidt’s troops have taken 19 points from the last 27 in league action, firing themselves up to sixth place in the process. Heidenheim won two league games in a row before drawing 2-2 with Hamburg at Voith Arena and 0-0 with Greuther Furth at Sportpark Ronhof last weekend. However, they have picked up just two victories from their last five home league fixtures, drawing two and losing one during that time.

After losing two, drawing three and winning only one of their last six league matches at Continental Arena, Jahn Regensburg managed to stop the rot with an encouraging 2-1 home win over leaders Hamburg last time out. They conceded the opener early in the league game but fought back with two goals in the final 16 minutes, whilst enjoying a numerical advantage for the last 20 minutes of play. The result was exactly what the doctor had ordered after the team drew a blank in their last three league matches, registering only a single point in the process. However, there are still eight points between them and the top three.

Heidenheim have been strong at home as of late, taking eight points from their past four home league matches. Jahn Regensburg also appear to be back on track, but I fancy the home side to come out on top in this one.

SECOND PREDICTION: HILO - HIGH
Both teams are efficient in front of goal, with Heidenheim netting 37 and Jahn Regensburg 35 goals so far. Two of their last three league meetings have featured at least three total goals and with that in mind I expect another high-scoring league encounter here.

HEAD TO HEAD
Jahn Regensburg have won their last three league meetings against Heidenheim.
