An important duel in the bottom section of the 2. Bundesliga, with both Heidenheim and Würzburger Kickers experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 18th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Heidenheim form and stats
Heidenheim must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three 2. Bundesliga games here at Voith-Arena. Heidenheim have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
No payout for Heidenheim in their previous match, an away game at Fortuna Dusseldorf that ended in defeat 0-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Osnabruck.
Heidenheim has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Heidenheim have only let in 1 goal at home.
Würzburger Kickers form and stats
It's not happening yet for Würzburger Kickers on their 2. Bundesliga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on M. Schiele, the Würzburger manager, as the last three away games were defeats. It's a growing despair in Würzburger Kickers as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Würzburger Kickers might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bochum proved too strong as Würzburger slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at flyeralarm-Arena. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hamburger SV wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Würzburger playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
Würzburger Kickers have the goal stats of 1-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
