Heidenheim and Wolfsburg bring round 10 of the German Bundesliga to an end when they square off at the Voith-Arena on Sunday. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last five games against the hosts and will look to extend this impressive streak.
Heidenheim continued to ride high in the UEFA Europa Conference League as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Scottish outfit Hearts at the Tynecastle Stadium on Thursday.
Having won their opening three games in the Conference League, Frank Schmidt’s side return to action in the Bundesliga, where they have failed to win the last four games, claiming just one point from a possible 12 since September’s 3-0 victory over Mainz.
While Heidenheim will be looking to find their feet in the league, next up is the challenge of an opposing side they have failed to get the better of in their last five attempts, losing four and claiming one draw since August 2008.
Like this weekend’s hosts, Wolfsburg continue to struggle for results in the Bundesliga as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Augsburg at the Volkswagen Arena last Saturday.
Hasenhüttl’s men have now failed to win six of their last seven league games — losing three and claiming three draws — with a 3-1 victory at Bochum on October 5 being the exception.
Wolfsburg have picked up nine points from their nine Bundesliga matches so far to sit 14th in the standings, one point and one place below Sunday’s hosts.
