Bayer Leverkusen vs Heidenheim Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 10 of the Bundesliga, scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 14:30 GMT. The clash takes place at the BayArena and will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime (Ger) and Sky Sport Bundesliga (Ger). Leverkusen sit fifth with 17 points, while Heidenheim struggle at the bottom with just five. In this article, you’ll find the latest insights and Bundesliga Predictions from the XpertStats team.

• Leverkusen aiming to rebound after a tough defeat against Bayern Munich.
• Heidenheim desperate to end a six-match winless run in all competitions.
• Patrick Schick expected to start after scoring midweek in Lisbon.
• Both sides show high “Over 1.5 Goals” averages this Bundesliga season.

Leverkusen’s recent form tells a story of resilience. After a 3–0 blow from Bayern, Kasper Hjulmand’s side bounced back with a hard-fought 1–0 Champions League win over Benfica. Patrick Schick’s decisive goal lifted spirits just when confidence was starting to wobble. That said, the Werkself’s defensive lapses remain a concern, they’ve conceded 0.8 goals per match, not disastrous, but not spotless either. Still, a team averaging 1.8 goals per game with 100% of matches featuring over 1.5 goals should feel optimistic at home. Can they rediscover their ruthless rhythm? Feels like the perfect stage for that.

On the other side, Heidenheim arrive fighting ghosts of their own. A 1–1 draw against Frankfurt last weekend offered a glimmer of hope, but the numbers paint a darker picture: two goals conceded per game and a six-match winless run. Coach Frank Schmidt knows the hill his side must climb. He’s been through tougher seasons, sure, but even he might admit this looks grim. Their attack averages just 0.5 goals per game, barely a whisper compared to Leverkusen’s firepower. That said, Heidenheim don’t go down easily; 75% of their games still hit over 1.5 goals, often thanks to late drama.

Statistically, this matchup leans heavily toward the home side. Leverkusen have taken four straight Bundesliga wins against Heidenheim, and in four of the last five, they’ve led at half-time. The BayArena crowd should expect pressure, corners, and waves of red shirts driving forward, Leverkusen average 3.8 corners won per match, though they do concede 4.6 on average, leaving space for Heidenheim’s counter set-pieces. Still, those corners often translate into goals, especially when Schick or Hofmann get the right delivery.

It’s hard to see a shock here. Even if Heidenheim defend deep, Leverkusen’s midfield control and attacking creativity are likely to wear them down. Expect goals, maybe not a flurry, but enough to tilt the scales. A confident home win feels the logical outcome, especially considering Heidenheim’s poor away form. In short, the Werkself are in the driver’s seat again—and that might just show in the final scoreline. For more detailed match insights, check out our other Bundesliga Predictions at XpertStats.
