Hertha Berlin vs HeidenheimPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Both clubs walk into the Olympiastadion off an opening-day win, and the two afternoons could hardly have looked less alike. Hertha BSC edged a 1-0 on the road and sit sixth with 3 points, while Heidenheim banked the same haul from a 4-3 tussle at home and stand fourth. The visitors' recent scoreboards are loud: 4-3 against VfL Osnabrück, 4-1 against FC Ingolstadt 04, a 1-3 loss to Hamburger SV, a 1-1 draw at Bologna and a 9-0 at Nordlingen, twenty-seven goals across those five games. Hertha, by contrast, have played once, kept the sheet clean and have yet to be tested in front of their own crowd. The German second tier has opened the campaign averaging 3.27 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.
