Heidenheim

WWWWWL

Heidenheim will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 4-2 Bundesliga 1 loss in their previous game against Borussia Dortmund.

In that match, Heidenheim had 39% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. For Heidenheim, goals were scored by Marvin Pieringer (39') and Maximilian Breunig (74'). At the other end, Borussia Dortmund got 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Donyell Malen (12'), Karim Adeyemi (17', 41') and Emre Can (93') scored for Borussia Dortmund.

At least three goals per game have been seen in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Heidenheim have participated. Opposition teams scored 7 times in this period whereas Heidenheim managed to get a total of 17. That trend might not be carried forward here, of course.

A look at their previous results shows us that Heidenheim:

• have not lost a league tie with Freiburg in their last 2 games.
• have not been beaten in their last 3 home league matches.

📰 Team News: Heidenheim

Thomas Keller (Cruciate ligament tear) and Julian Niehues (Cruciate ligament tear) are not available for Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt.

It’s our opinion that Heidenheim will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, utilising Kevin Mueller, Omar Traore, Patrick Mainka, Benedikt Gimber, Jonas Foehrenbach, Jan Schoeppner, Lennard Maloney, Sirlord Conteh, Paul Wanner, Leo Scienza and Marvin Pieringer.

📰 Team News: Freiburg

Freiburg manager Julian Schuster has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Michael Gregoritsch (Torn muscle fiber), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Knee surgery) and Merlin Röhl (Syndesmosis ligament tear) are not able to play.

We’re of the thinking that Freiburg seem likely to make use of a 4-4-2 formation, choosing Noah Atubolu, Lukas Kuebler, Max Rosenfelder, Philipp Lienhart, Christian Guenter, Ritsu Doan, Maximilian Eggestein, Nicolas Hoefler, Vincenzo Grifo, Eren Dinkci and Chukwubuike Adamu.

💭 Prediction

In our view, Freiburg and Heidenheim may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore predicting a very close game with a 1-1 draw when the full-time whistle blows.
