Team News: Heidenheim
Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there is only the one fitness worry for the Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt to be concerned about. Kevin Müller (concussion) won’t be playing here.
There’s a good chance that Heidenheim might play in a 3-5-2 system, starting the game with Frank Feller, Patrick Mainka, Benedikt Gimber, Tim Siersleben, Omar Traoré, Marnon Busch, Jan Schöppner, Niklas Dorsch, Frans Krätzig, Adrian Beck and Marvin Pieringer.

Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Heidenheim will have a tough ask to register a score against this Union Berlin team who we think should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
Therefore, we predict a narrow 1-0 win for Union Berlin at full-time.
A close call.
