Heidenheim will host Bayern Munich at the Voith-Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have hit a rough patch of late after a commendable start to their season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They played out an entertaining 3-3 draw against Stuttgart in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a memorable victory following a late quickfire double from Tim Kleindienst before their opponents restored parity in additional time.
Heidenheim sit 11th in the league table with 30 points from 27 games and will be looking to shake off their latest results and get back to winning ways this weekend.
Bayern Munich have endured a rather turbulent campaign and now look set to miss out on the Bundesliga title for the first time since the 2011-12 season. They were beaten 2-0 by rivals Borussia Dortmund last time out, conceding a goal in either half as they recorded their first home league defeat to Die Borussen since 2014.
The visitors sit second in the Bundesliga standings with 60 points from 27 games and are 13 points behind runaway leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
