Our Predictions
Union’s home form is strong and they have enough quality to edge this. Odds suggest a tight match, and a low-scoring game fits the recent trends.
Both teams have shown resilience and could be cautious, but a high-scoring draw isn’t out of the question given Heidenheim’s fighting spirit and Union’s attacking ability.
An outside shot, but with Heidenheim’s need for points, they might go for broke and score—which could open up space at the back for an away win!
Hello sports fans, welcome to Extratips, where today we’re diving into an intriguing Bundesliga clash – Union Berlin host Heidenheim on May 10th at 1:30 PM in Germany. Union Berlin, sitting pretty in 13th place, are fighting for pride with 52 points, showing strength at home with 10 wins and an impressive goal difference of +20. Heidenheim, languishing at 16th, are just hanging above the relegation zone with 25 points. Their recent form isn’t inspiring – just two wins in the last five, both away, but they’ve shown resilience, drawing quite a bit away from home.
Looking at the odds, bet365’s prices suggest a tight game – Home win 2.20, Draw 3.30, Away win 3.40. It’s nearly a coin flip, but I’d lean towards a home edge given Union’s recent grit. The stats show Union’s been a bit inconsistent on the road, but they've got the home advantage and a lot to play for. Heidenheim’s away form is shakier, and recent head-to-heads have been uneventful (0-0 in January), so I expect a cautious, possibly somewhat tense affair.
Key factors? Union’s attacking depth versus Heidenheim’s defensive grit. Expect Union to press high, but Heidenheim might hit on the counter if they’re brave enough – especially as they look to cling onto survival.
For a fresh angle – will Union’s home dominance finally translate into a win, or can Heidenheim cause an upset? Or perhaps, a stalemate? That’s the big question.
Predictions? Here are five tips based on all the charts and odds:
- Home win, No BTTS, Under 2.5 goals — a tight, tactical game leaning into Union’s home strength.
- Draw, Yes BTTS, Over 2.5 goals — possibly high-stakes, open game if both sides go for it.
- Away win, Yes BTTS, Over 2.5 goals — less likely but possible if Heidenheim surprise.
- Home win, Yes BTTS, Over 2.5 goals — leaning on Union’s attacking quality.
- Draw, No BTTS, Under 2.5 goals — cautious, low-scoring scenario.

Major differences? Union’s attacking firepower versus Heidenheim’s defensive craft. Both teams look for different paths to victory—Union wants to strengthen their push, while Heidenheim fights for every point.
Scenario-wise, I see a likely low-scoring home win (high likelihood), a potential draw if both teams cancel each other out (medium), and a surprise away win if Heidenheim pulls an upset (low, but not impossible).
