Heidenheim against Bremen: Who will break free in the Bundesliga?

There is a lot at stake in the duel between 1. FC Heidenheim and Werder Bremen. The game will kick off on October 18, 2025 at 3:30 p.m. in the Voith Arena. For Heidenheim, a win could turn things around in the season so far, where they are in last place in the Bundesliga with just one win and four goals in six games. With just three points from the first five matches, the promoted team is off to a difficult start. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, doesn't have to hide, but they still have their own defensive problems, which have also characterized their last games.

Coach Ole Werner must pay particular attention to Bremen's defensive stability. Their previous record shows an alarming result: 14 goals conceded, the second weakest defense in the league. The Werder team also conceded seven goals in the last three league games. While Bremen offer solid football on offense with an average of 1.67 goals per game, they could run into problems on October 18th as Heidenheim's defense isn't necessarily the strongest either.

Current form and statistics

The previous encounters between Heidenheim and Bremen promise goals: in nine of the last ten meetings, more than 2.5 goals were scored. In terms of the table, the pendulum seems to be swinging for the promoted team: Heidenheim has lost eight of the last 19 home games in the Bundesliga. This could indicate a strong home crowd effect if the team reflects and puts the 14 defeats in home games behind them.

But the statistics of Footystats make it clear that Heidenheim should not be underestimated. Despite the difficult season, the team has a positive record against Bremen in the last ten matches: four wins and two draws. Especially in the first meeting of the 2023/2024 season, they recorded a clear 4-2 win against Bremen.

Who is ahead?

The betting odds for this match also seem to be exciting, with odds of 2.88 for a home win for Heidenheim and 2.40 for an away win for Bremen. The deployment could influence the mood in the stadium as fans hope for their first home win in questa stagione. The shooting statistics indicate that Heidenheim was slightly more dominant with 61 percent ball possession in the last direct meeting, but was not able to take advantage of all of their chances. This reflects the current major opportunity conversion rate of 17 percent, which definitely needs to be improved.

Heidenheim's top scorers like Adam Kölle and Sirlord Conteh have the same challenges this season and were only able to score one goal each. On the Werder side, Samuel Mbangula and Abdoul Karim Coulibaly stood out with two goals each. The interaction between both teams promises a lot of excitement. Who will leave the pitch as the winner in the end? It is clear that both teams have to fight for points in order to move up in the table.

In the yellow card statistics, Adam Kölle and Conteh are active at Heidenheim, which shows that the team is not squeamish in its defense. The game could therefore offer not only sporting but also dramatic highlights. Tune in on October 18, 2025 and see how the clash between the two teams continues in the shadow of the Bundesliga statistics.
