Heidenheim
The team suffered a 1-2 away defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the last round. Frank Schmidt's side is now on a four-match winless run in the league (1 draw, 3 losses), conceding at least two goals in each of these encounters. This latest setback did not affect their league position – they remain 16th, two points clear of the relegation zone.
- The team found the net in 6 of their last 8 Bundesliga matches.
- Heidenheim has failed to win in their last 7 away league matches (1 draw, 6 losses).
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of their last 7 away games in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for Heidenheim (4-5-1)
Kevin Müller – Jonas Föhrenbach, Benedikt Gimber, Patrick Mainka, Omar Haktab Traore – Frans Krätzig, Marvin Pieringer, Jan Schöppner, Leo Scienza, Luca Kerber – Budu Zivzivadze.
Freiburg vs. Heidenheim: Match Prediction
The recent victory should help Julian Schuster's side regain confidence after a series of setbacks. Moreover, the upcoming match will be at home, where Freiburg has shown excellent form, winning 4 of their last 6 league matches, with the only defeat coming against Bayern Munich and a goalless draw with Mainz, who are aiming for European competition this season. The upcoming opponent has more modest ambitions.
Heidenheim is struggling to avoid relegation. The team has lost 10 of their last 12 league matches (1 win, 1 draw), and only the even poorer results of two other bottom teams keep Frank Schmidt's side from falling further. Freiburg convincingly defeated them 3-0 in the first round at home, and Heidenheim has lost 6 of their last 7 away Bundesliga matches.
