Home ground outweighs 1. FC Heidenheim's rating edge — 1. FC Heidenheim are the stronger side on our strength rating, but home ground plus 1. FC Heidenheim's hot finishing due to cool give Hertha BSC the lean. The draw at 26% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Hertha BSC at 40%?

Why only 40%?
Because 1. FC Heidenheim are the stronger side on our strength rating.

What did we measure but not count?
