Stuttgart vs Heidenheim. Free Live Stream.
April 25, 2025 | Bundesliga – Matchday 31 | Kick-off: 20:30 Berlin Time
Friday in Stuttgart promises a spectacle
The curtain-raiser for Matchday 31 of the Bundesliga unfolds at the MHP Arena — Stuttgart’s home ground, where they’ll host regional neighbors Heidenheim. They’re close geographically, but miles apart in the standings. The Swabians are drifting in mid-table, while the red-and-blues are clinging to survival. But as German football likes to remind us, lack of stakes doesn’t mean lack of fireworks.
Stuttgart: Rock-solid up front, chaos in the back
Last season, Stuttgart were runners-up. Now? They're parked in 11th, with just two wins in their last 12 games. Still, they’ve got a German Cup final on the horizon — and coach Sebastian Hoeneß seems to be putting all his chips on that.
Their recent 4–4 thriller in Berlin against Union showed one thing crystal clear: Stuttgart can’t defend to save their lives, but boy, do they love to score — especially at home. They’ve bagged 31 goals in 15 home matches, the best tally among all bottom-half teams.
Heidenheim: From Europe dreams to relegation nightmares
Heidenheim’s Bundesliga story is a damn rollercoaster. Eighth place and a ticket to the Conference League last season, now they’re third from the bottom, six points from safety.
Their last three games? Smacked around by the big boys — Bayer, Stuttgart, and Bayern. That Bayern loss stung the worst: 0–4, with just one shot on target all game. Still, Heidenheim are the league’s ultimate all-or-nothing squad — only four draws in 30 matches.
Stats and Prediction
In the reverse fixture, Stuttgart won 3–1 away. At home, the automakers are especially lethal. Heidenheim go full tilt in every match. What can we expect? Pure chaos and high-octane football. Stuttgart are pressure-free, Heidenheim are desperation-fueled. This Friday at the MHP Arena, boredom is the only thing that’s not invited.
