Bayer Leverkusen is playing confidently in the Bundesliga, despite their recent defeat to Bayern Munich, and sits in 5th place. The team has demonstrated consistent results at home, where they have secured several important victories, including their recent Champions League triumph.
Heidenheim is in the relegation zone and has been underperforming. They are experiencing serious problems in both attack and defense, which confirms their low position in the table.
Given the difference in the teams' skill levels and Bayer's excellent home record, the hosts are clear favorites in this match.
