Heidenheim form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Heidenheim's two home games in the 2. Bundesliga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Voith-Arena.
The Heidenheim manager Schmidt and his side return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Darmstadt 98 (placed 2nd). Mainka was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.32 out of 10. The defender Mainka scored one goal and won 4 of 12 duels.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Arminia Bielefeld.This is expected to be a close game, with Heidenheim perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Heidenheim as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Heidenheim has won 7 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.
Heidenheim has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats
Fortuna Düsseldorf are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the 2. Bundesliga, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
Fortuna Düsseldorf are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the game against Jahn Regensburg (placed 13th). That win felt nice as this side had gone three league matches without winning. As mentioned above, Düsseldorf was the only team on the pitch versus Jahn Regensburg in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. The attacker Ginczek got a match rating of 8.31 in that game. Ginczek scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.
A 2-2 draw at Eintracht Braunschweig's stadium before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Fortuna Düsseldorf in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Fortuna Düsseldorf, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
Düsseldorf have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. Fortuna Düsseldorf have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
