The read

Despite overwhelming H2H dominance (4/5 Bundesliga wins, 7/8 at home), Heidenheim's catastrophic 15-game winless run and terrible home form severely cap their probability; the motivation asymmetry and H2H psychology are the strongest positive signals but are partially offset by current form collapse.

• Heidenheim have won 4 of 5 Bundesliga H2H meetings vs Union Berlin, including the last three
• At Voith-Arena, Heidenheim are 7W from 8 all-time vs Union Berlin across all competitions
• Heidenheim are on a 15-game winless run (last win December 6 vs Freiburg), with only 2W-5D-7L at home this season
• Union Berlin away form: 4W-2D-8L in 14 away games this season; publicly declared safe, potential motivation deficit
