RB Leipzig has had a mixed bag of results in recent weeks, with four losses in their last six competitive games, including an elimination from the DFB Cup. Despite these setbacks, they secured a spot in the Champions League round of 16 and are in a decent position in the Bundesliga, holding fifth place with 23 points from 12 matches.A significant strength for Leipzig has been their home record in the Bundesliga, where they haven't suffered a defeat in their last ten home games. They have the best home defense in the Bundesliga, conceding just four goals at the Red Bull Arena this season. This strong home form and historical success against newly promoted teams (never losing in 29 Bundesliga games against such teams) make them clear favorites in their upcoming match against Heidenheim.Guests, enjoying their first-ever season in the Bundesliga, is focusing on maintaining their league status. They are currently in 13th place with 11 points, three points clear of the relegation zone. However, they are the weakest newcomer to the Bundesliga in eleven years, with a particularly poor record in away games, having earned only one point from possible eighteen on the road.Heidenheim's task against RB Leipzig is made even more challenging due to their lack of quality depth and the absence of their top scorer Dinkci due to suspension. This predictability and lack of firepower may hinder their ability to cause an upset against Leipzig. The home team is too strong at front of their fans so everything expect a win with two or more goals here would be a big surprise.

莱比锡最近几周的成绩好坏参半，在最近的六场比赛中输掉了四场比赛，其中包括被淘汰出德国足总杯。尽管遭遇了这些挫折，他们还是确保了欧冠16强的席位，并且在德甲的位置也不错，12场比赛积23分排名第五。莱比锡的一个重要优势是他们在德甲的主场战绩，他们在最近的10场主场比赛中没有输过一场。他们拥有德甲最好的主场防守，本赛季在红牛球场只丢了4球。强劲的主场表现和历史上对阵新晋球队的成功(在29场德甲比赛中从未输过这些球队)使他们在即将到来的对阵海登海姆的比赛中成为明显的热门。客人们正在享受他们在德甲的第一个赛季，他们正专注于保持他们的联赛地位。目前他们以11分排名第13位，距离降级区还有3分的差距。然而，他们是德甲11年来最弱的新进球队，客场战绩尤其糟糕，在可能的18场客场比赛中只拿到1分。海登海姆对阵莱比锡的比赛更加困难，因为他们的阵容深度不足，而且他们的头号射手丁克奇也因停赛而缺阵。这种可预测性和缺乏火力可能会阻碍他们对莱比锡的颠覆。主队在他们的球迷面前太强大了，所以所有人都希望在这里取得两球或更多的胜利，这将是一个很大的惊喜。
