Heidenheim come into this meeting following on from a 1-0 Bundesliga 2 win with the downing of SV Sandhausen in their last match.

In that game, Heidenheim had 60% possession and 21 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. The scorer for Heidenheim was Jan-Niklas Beste (68'). Sandhausen got 3 shots on goal with 0 of them on target.

A sequence of steadfast performances from the Heidenheim defensive players has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 fixtures in total. During the same time, their forwards have scored 11. We shall soon see if that trend can be continued on into this next match.

Coming into this meeting, Heidenheim have not been beaten by Regensburg in away games against them for the last 2 league games.

🗞️ Team News: Regensburg

There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Regensburg gaffer Joe Enochs to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Oscar Schönfelder (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) is out of contention. Charalampos Makridis is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our opinion that Regensburg could make use of the 4-4-2 system for this game, utilising Jonas Urbig, Benedikt Saller, Steve Breitkreuz, Scott Kennedy, Leon Guwara, Aygün Yildirim, M. Thalhammer, Benedikt Gimber, Konrad Faber, Prince Osei Owusu and Andreas Albers.

ℹ️ Team News: Heidenheim

Heidenheim boss Frank Schmidt has a number of players out of action. Elidon Qenaj (Knee Injury) and Adrian Beck (Achilles tendon surgery) will not be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Heidenheim will likely elect for a 4-1-4-1 formation, going with Kevin Müller, Marnon Busch, Tim Siersleben, Patrick Mainka, Jonas Föhrenbach, Lennard Maloney, Florian Pick, Jan Schöppner, Denis Thomalla, Jan-Niklas Beste and Tim Kleindienst.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Regensburg should have enough to breach the defence of this Heidenheim lineup, although just one goal is unlikely to be enough.

We therefore reckon that it will be a close game with a 1-2 advantage for Heidenheim at full-time. Could easily go either way, this.
