Hamburg SV's away weakness is a fatal flaw.

Besides, Hamburg midfielders Jean-Luc Dompe and Nicolas Capaldo are suspended, leaving Albert Sambi Lokonga as the sole core under pressure, significantly reducing midfield interception and organizational efficiency.

Although 1. FC Heidenheim have injured players, their core attacking framework remains intact.

Stefan Schimmer's impact off the bench and set-piece attacks remain key weapons.

Relying on low-block defense and a fast counter-attacking system, Heidenheim can leverage home momentum to contain Hamburg.

Thus, Heidenheim are favored to avoid defeat at home.

1. FC Heidenheim (+0/0.5)
