Bayer Leverkusen return to action in the German Bundesliga when they play host to Heidenheim at the BayArena on Saturday. Having lost the last four meetings between the two sides, Heidenheim will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and secure their first win since September.
Patrick Schick netted the winner on Wednesday as Bayer Leverkusen picked up a 1-0 victory over Benfica to secure their first win in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Kasper Hjulmand’s side now turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they saw their four-game winning streak come to an end last Saturday in a 3-0 thrashing against high-flying Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen have picked up five wins and two draws from their nine Bundesliga games so far to collect 17 points and sit fifth in the league table, three points behind third-placed Borussia Dortmund.
On the other hand, Heidenheim were held to a 1-1 draw by Eintracht Frankfurt when the two sides squared off at the Voith Arena last Saturday.
With that result, Frank Schmidt’s men have gone six consecutive games without a win across all competitions, claiming two draws and losing four, including a 1-0 defeat against Hamburger in the DFB Pokal on October 28.
Heidenheim currently sit rock-bottom in the Bundesliga table with five points from nine matches, but could move level on points with 12th-placed Wolfsburg with a win on Saturday.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Heidenheim Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With four wins from the last five meetings between the sides, Bayer Leverkusen boast a superior record in the history of this fixture, compared to Heidenheim’s one win.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Heidenheim Prediction
Fresh off the back of securing their first Champions League win of the campaign, Bayer Leverkusen will head into Saturday’s tie with confidence as they look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Hjulmand’s men take on an out-of-sorts Heidenheim side who have failed to win their last six matches and we fancy them to secure all three points in front of their home supporters.
