Sandhausen vs Heidenheim Prediction & Betting tips
What does a really black series look like? SV Sandhausen knows the answer. At the moment nothing is coming together at the Kurpfälz and the record from the last five competitive games could hardly be worse. Five defeats, not a single goal of their own and a total of 17 goals against – these are clearly the numbers of a relegated team.
The hoped-for turnaround at the start of 2021 did not materialize on the last weekend and so the pressure is great before the home game on Friday evening against Heidenheim. The guests from Northern Swabia were classified as favorites by the best bookmakers after their home win against Nuremberg. The kick-off in the Hardtwald Stadium is at 17:30 p.m.
Sandhausen :
After a strong final phase last season and good summer transfers like Daniel Keita-Ruel, expectations have risen in the Kurpfalz. Therefore, coach Uwe Koschinat had to take his hat early after a mediocre start to the season. This personnel decision has turned out to be a big mistake to this day. Under the new coach Michael Schiele, only one win was won against bottom light Würzburg.
Otherwise there were only bankruptcies, some of which were very clear. The already mentioned record of 0:17 goals from the last five competitive games is underground. Even at the 0: 4 in Hanover last weekend, Schiele’s protégés were once again completely without a chance. The switch to a more defensive back four was also unsuccessful and the black and whites could hardly set any offensive accents.
The two attackers Keita-Ruel and Behrens were almost completely in the air. Hope is now the new assistant coach Matthias Lust, who worked successfully with Michael Schiele in Würzburg last season. Friday evening will show whether he will find quick solutions to the current crisis situation. In terms of personnel, the coaching team has at least some options.
With the exception of Denis Linsmayer, all players in the squad are fit and ready for action. With the current uncertainty and the lack of self-confidence, it was almost irrelevant which eleven players were on the grass in the sand houses. A clear reaction and increase in performance must be shown if a tip on the odds of the home side is to have any chances between Sandhausen and Heidenheim.
Heidenheim :
The 0: 3 at VfL Bochum shortly before Christmas was a real damper for 1. FC Heidenheim. After ten points from four encounters and three games without conceding, old weaknesses from the start of the season at North Swabia returned. But the experienced coach Frank Schmidt and his team have apparently worked through this game quickly and made a good start into 2021.
In the 2-0 win against Nuremberg last weekend, the team from Schlossberg played out their full strengths again. The back four with keeper Kevin Müller was very secure and needle sticks were repeatedly set in the front. In addition to top scorer Christian Kühlwetter, the second attacker Denis Thomalla was particularly noteworthy this time.
He scored the important 1-0 and showed overall one of his best performances of the season. The attacking duo is therefore also set on Friday evening, while young players Gianni Mollo, Patrick Schmidt and club legend Marc Schnatterer can only watch due to injuries.
While the von der Brenz team is very strong at home in the Voith Arena and ranks second in the home table, there is still a lot of catching up to do abroad. Only one away win was landed this season. Therefore, a tip on the odds of the guests between Sandhausen and Heidenheim is associated with a little risk.
