On 18 October 2025, Heidenheim welcome Werder Bremen in a Bundesliga clash between two sides sitting in the lower half of the table. Heidenheim have managed just one win so far this season and continue to look fragile defensively, while Werder Bremen have shown slight improvement under their new coach and arrive with a bit more consistency and confidence.
Prediction Overview: BTTS – Yes
The advised pick is Both Teams to Score – Yes. Bremen’s attacking approach tends to produce open matches, and Heidenheim’s defensive instability at home gives this line solid backing. In recent meetings between these sides, both teams have found the net regularly, and current form trends suggest that pattern could continue.
Match Analysis
Heidenheim’s main issue has been maintaining defensive structure. Their only win came against a struggling side, and they’ve conceded in nearly every fixture this season. At home, they show attacking intent but leave gaps at the back - a combination that often leads to high-scoring games. Werder Bremen, meanwhile, are gradually adapting to their new system and beginning to show rhythm in possession. They have been more efficient in the final third recently, but their defense remains vulnerable, especially in transitions. This makes both teams scoring a recurring feature of their games.
Heidenheim’s home advantage may help them create chances, but Werder’s superior quality should ensure a response. Both defenses can be exposed, and neither side has shown the consistency to shut the other out.
