Vincent Kompany will be hoping for an immediate response from his Bayern Munich side when they return to Bundesliga action on Saturday against Heidenheim.
The Bavarians were dumped out of the DFB Pokal in midweek after losing 1-0 on home soil against Bayer Leverkusen. However, their record in the league to this point has been incredibly impressive.
Heidenheim will be challenging to make a case for in the league this weekend after suffering defeats in each of their last four. Only a win will see them move out of the relegation playoff spot at this early stage of the campaign.
Odds
A sign of the challenge awaiting Heidenheim is their massive price on the moneyline this weekend. Bayern Munich will be difficult to overlook at -965.

Bayern Munich vs. Heidenheim Prediction
This will be a dangerous time to come up against Bayern after their midweek defeat in the cup.
Heidenheim’s defensive record is a major concern, as they have conceded at least three goals in each of their last three matches.
Therefore, the only value in the betting could be for Bayern to cover the spread.
