Heidenheim, fresh off a 3-2 win over Bayern Munich, feels like a different team. Gladbach, on the other hand, stumbled to a 3-1 loss against Freiburg last week, showing the same inconsistency that’s plagued them all season. The key battle here will be how Heidenheim's set-piece prowess, which has delivered them 10 goals this season, stacks up against Gladbach's often-shaky defending from dead balls.
Thing is, Gladbach has only won twice on the road this year, and Heidenheim at home has been a tough nut to crack for most clubs. This isn’t the same Heidenheim that looked destined for relegation a few months ago. They've found a gear. I think Heidenheim keeps the momentum rolling. Heidenheim wins this one 2-1.
