Season ticket holders at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Sandhausen languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Heidenheim will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Sandhausen has the fewest scored goals (12) in 2. Bundesliga
- Heidenheim have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Sandhausen form and stats
2 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Sandhausen, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in 2. Bundesliga, have to build on here at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald in the 2. Bundesliga. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Sandhausen with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Wurzburger Kickers game, 33 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Sandhausen as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
D. Keita-Ruel was the last player to score a league goal for Sandhausen and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Sandhausen haven't scored in 380 minutes.
The fans are hoping that Sandhausen will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the 2. Bundesliga game against Hannover 96 (placed 9th). Prior to that, an away loss at Wolfsburg in the DFB Pokal.
Sandhausen were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Sandhausen's goalkeeper Rick Wulle was extremely busy against Hannover 96, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.
The Sandhausen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Sandhausen are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 7 played).
Heidenheim form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Heidenheim so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).
The supporters enjoyed Heidenheim's previous game versus Nürnberg (placed 11th), a 2. Bundesliga 2-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bochum wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
The visiting Heidenheim have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 6 goals from 6 games. For Heidenheim, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
