APWin Prediction

Over 2.5 Goals

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

Our top betting tip for Heidenheim vs Köln is to take under 9.5 corners on the corners market. We see great value in this market compared to more popular betting markets, which you can capitalise upon.

Our analysis shows a low likelihood of high-level attacking play between the two sides, so there is a strong chance that the under will come in well below the maximum of 9 corners needed to win the bet.

👉 Our prediction is: Köln win or draw

Our top tip for this match is to bet Köln to win or draw on the Double Chance market.

While it is tough to go away from home and pick up a positive result like a win or a draw, we have seen through recent form and season statistics that Köln has what it takes to accomplish that task. And the fact that Köln only needs to avoid defeat makes it a more achievable result.
