• Fixture: Union Berlin vs 1. FC Heidenheim
• Date: Saturday, 29 November 2025

Union Berlin's recent form suggests a team capable of grinding out results, as evidenced by their win against FC St. Pauli and draws against Bayern München and SC Freiburg. Their ability to secure points against strong opposition indicates a solid defensive structure and resilience, which could be crucial against Heidenheim.

On the other hand, Heidenheim's recent performances, including heavy defeats to Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen, highlight vulnerabilities that Union Berlin might exploit. The visitors' struggle to maintain a consistent defensive line could be their Achilles' heel in this encounter.

Given Union Berlin's recent home form and Heidenheim's away struggles, the hosts are likely to dominate possession and create more scoring opportunities. Union Berlin's attacking trio of Burke, Ansah, and Ilić could pose significant threats to Heidenheim's backline, which has conceded 12 goals in their last five games.

However, Heidenheim's occasional resilience, as shown in their draws against Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen, suggests they might not go down without a fight. Expect a competitive match, but Union Berlin's current momentum and home advantage should see them through.

Union Berlin's recent form has been mixed but shows signs of improvement, with a win against FC St. Pauli and two draws against Bayern München and SC Freiburg. Their ability to secure points against top teams indicates a strong defensive setup and tactical discipline, which could be key in their upcoming match.

However, their loss to Werder Bremen suggests they can be vulnerable on the road, but at home, they have been more solid. This home advantage, combined with their recent performances, should give them confidence against Heidenheim.
