Heidenheim – Augsburg Prediction Bundesliga, Matchday 5 on Saturday, 09/27/2025 at 3:30 p.m.
Has FCA possibly overreached itself with the experiment involving Sandro Wagner as coach?
With the Interwetten bonus, for example, you won’t have any bad experiences, but could the still inexperienced coach have been too immature for a coaching position in the Bundesliga?
It’s not over yet! But four defeats in a row and another against a designated relegation candidate like “Rot-Blau” and things will definitely go wrong at FCA soon.
What am I predicting for Heidenheim vs. Augsburg on my betting slip? Goals, goals, goals!
Especially since the two conditions I’m speculating on have been met in every Bundesliga game played by the Fuggerstadt team since the start of the season.
I know a few FCH fans who are looking forward to next Saturday with optimism—and for good reason. After all, FC Augsburg is traveling to the Brenz, an opponent against whom things went well in the last match at the Voith Arena.
In September 2024, Heidenheim celebrated not only the highest Bundesliga victory in the club’s history with a 4-0 home win, but also its first victory in this duel after three previous defeats.
The memory of that furious 4-0 win should indeed provide enough momentum to finally leave the relegation zone soon.
Heidenheim – Augsburg Prediction & Betting
Augsburg has the highest expected goals against (xGA) in the Bundesliga at 11.33. In addition, FCA has lost seven of its last eight Bundesliga games across two seasons.
Based on these facts and other impressions, I have put together some bets that I definitely want to try out with a German betting provider.
A Heidenheim win despite conceding a goal at odds of around 4.65 and over 3.5 goals at around 2.87 are the two betting suggestions that are at the top of my list, according to my Heidenheim vs. Augsburg tip from the headline.

Accordingly, the Heidenheim Augsburg AI forecast is somewhat more cautious than my own predictions, at least in terms of the possible number of goals.

In fact, I can live with a Heidenheim win as a promising suggestion, as the accompanying odds will almost triple your stake if successful.
Our AI model also recommends Adam Kölle to score – and for good reason.
The motivated 19-year-old recently scored the late 1-2 in Hamburg on his Bundesliga debut, becoming the second-youngest goalscorer for FC Heidenheim. The estimated goal rate of around 18.50 is certainly brimming with value.

Heidenheim vs Augsburg match analysis:
For my Heidenheim vs. Augsburg tip on Saturday, I’m primarily expecting goals, but the game could also be quite tough—a real gladiatorial battle.
FC Augsburg has already committed 57 fouls this Bundesliga season, more than any team except TSG (60), and has also received 13 yellow cards—the highest number in the league.
Heidenheim is much fairer, with only 40 fouls, only Frankfurt and Freiburg have fewer (38 each).
Furthermore, FC Heidenheim urgently needs to improve its finishing: it has missed nine of its ten big chances – the worst rate (10%) of any team in the top flight.
Augsburg can therefore strike mercilessly if they make the most of their chances, even though the Red and Blues have more of the play.
In any case, it will be an intense duel in which aggression, fouls, and a bit of luck could decide victory or defeat. Whoever keeps their nerve could come out on top in the end.
Heidenheim form check
Heidenheim coach Frank Schmidt will have to do without several key players for the upcoming game.
Mathias Honsak is out with muscle problems, Frank Feller is struggling with a torn collateral ligament in his knee, and Thomas Keller is unavailable due to a knee injury.
Leart Paçarada is out with a cruciate ligament tear, while Marvin Pieringer has at least returned to team training after an ankle injury.
After the 1-2 defeat at HSV, the personnel situation at the Brenzstadt club remains tense.
Augsburg form check
Augsburg coach Sandro Wagner also has several players unavailable. Dimitrios Giannoulis is out with a thigh injury, while Anton Kade is missing due to an ankle problem.
Giannoulis, who started the first two games of the season on the left side, will not be fit in time despite the international break.
Arne Maier and Mads Pedersen are available as possible replacements. Kade picked up his injury while playing for Germany’s U21 team and is not expected to return until late September or early October.
After a bitter 1-4 defeat to Freiburg, FCA must find a strong response to avoid sinking even deeper into the relegation zone.
