Union Berlin vs Heidenheim Prediction and Betting Tips | May 10th 2025
Union Berlin and Heidenheim return to action in the German Bundesliga when they go head-to-head at the Alte Forsterei on Saturday. The visitors have just two games to salvage their season as they find themselves in the relegation playoff spot, four points away from safety.
Union Berlin were involved in a share of the spoils for the fourth consecutive game as they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Werder Bremen last Saturday.
With that result, Steffen Baumgart’s men have gone eight straight matches without defeat, picking up three wins and five draws since a 1-0 loss against Holstein Kiel on March 2.
With 37 points from 32 Bundesliga matches, Union Berlin are currently 13th in the league standings but could move into 12th place with all three points this weekend.
Heidenheim, on the other hand, dropped two more points in the relegation dogfight as they were held to a goalless draw by Bochum at the Voith-Arena last time out.
This followed a 1-0 victory over Stuttgart at the MHP Arena on April 25, a result which snapped their run of three back-to-back defeats in the league.
Heidenheim have picked up 26 points from their 32 Bundesliga matches so far to sit 16th in the table, just one point above 17th-placed Holstein Kiel in the second automatic relegation spot.
