Heidenheim will play in front of their home fans at Voith-Arena on Saturday when they welcome reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich for a one-on-one league clash, with kick-off scheduled at 13:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Winless in their Last Five Outings, Heidenheim are Looking for a Return to Winning Ways
Heidenheim have had a rollercoaster season so far. They have amassed 30 points, which is enough to secure their place in the Bundesliga.
However, at 11th on the Bundesliga log, there is a feeling inside the camp that they could push on for a top-half finish in the run-in.
However, three points from their last five outings, dropping 12 points in the process, has hampered their bid to push for a top-half.
Starting with their clash against Bayern Munich on Saturday, Heidenheim will look for a shock result and the three points they need to push on in the run-in.
A Faltering Bayern Munich are Looking to Retain Hopes of Catching Leverkusen in the Run-In
Bayern fell to a disappointing 0-2 loss at home to Borussia Dortmund last week. Karim Adeyemi’s and Julian Ryerson’s goals went unanswered by a Bayern Munich side that lacked the authority and verve they typically show on home soil.
The loss, coupled with Leverkusen’s win in their fixture, means that Thomas Tuchel’s side trails the leaders by 13 points with seven matches remaining in the season.
Bayern Munich’s history and nature mean that they will not give up. However, they must be perfect if they are to retain a modicum of a chance to keep Leverkusen honest in the run-in.
