The German Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Heidenheim play host to Werder Bremen at the Voith-Arena on Sunday.
Ole Werner’s men head into the weekend on a run of four consecutive away defeats in the league and will be looking to pick up their first away win since April.
Heidenheim failed to find their feet during the international break as they fell to a 3-1 loss against Nuremberg on September 7.
This was in keeping with their struggles in the Bundesliga, where they have failed to win their opening three matches, losing twice and claiming one draw this season.
Frank Schmidt’s side are currently 15th in the Bundesliga table, having picked up just one point from the first nine available.
Elsewhere, Werder Bremen made it two wins from two last time out when they edged out Borussia Monchengladbach 1-0 in a friendly matchup.
Prior to that, Werner's men picked up their first win of the new Bundesliga campaign as they thrashed Mainz 4-0 on September 2 to snap their six-match winless run.
With three points from their opening three matches, Werder Bremen are currently 11th in the league table but could potentially rise to third place with a win this weekend.
