Stuttgart vs Heidenheim tips and predictions

Jury's still out in Club Friendly battle

Stuttgart are superior than Heidenheim but this is not as straightforward as it might look at face value.

All eventualities are possible here so be cautious when looking into this one. With goals being hard to come by in the build up to this one, this might not be a goal-fest and it's certainly not one to get carried away about. That said, the draw is the play from the match winner market.

Both sides can be confident of keeping it tidy at the back. Stuttgart have averaged 0.7 goals in their last 3 starts - and Heidenheim have averaged 0.7 goals in their last 3 away campaigns.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, one of the last 3 has ended in parity.

The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in attack. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that makes more sense for this particular encounter.

Heidenheim have drawn 5 of their last 10 matches on the road. With nothing much to go on the conclusion is that this also ends in stalemate.

Of course, Heidenheim are a second tier side so it remains to be seen how they adapt to the challenge presented by their superior rivals on their own turf.
