The German Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Heidenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt lock horns at Voith Arena on Saturday.
While the hosts set out to secure their first home win of the year, Dino Toppmoller’s men will be looking to end their six-game winless run.
Heidenheim were denied consecutive away victories for the first time this season as they played out a 2-2 draw with Union Berlin at the An der alten Försterei last Saturday.
Frank Schmidt’s men have now gone unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 matches across all competitions, picking up five wins and five draws since the second week of December.
