Team News

FC Heidenheim
Augsburg
  • Heidenheim will have to recover from their Europa Conference League outing on Thursday. Thomas Keller is on his way back from a long-standing ACL injury, as is Julian Niehues.
  • Robert Gumny is recovering from an ACL injury, while Reece Oxford is still on the way back from long-COVID. Goalkeeper Finn Dahmen is recovering from an ankle op.

Prediction

  • A Schwaben-derby with 100kms separating the two sides via the A8 Autobahn.
  • Augsburg did the double over Heidenheim last season, including a memorable 5-2 away success.
  • Frank Schmidt's Heidenheim exceeded all expectations last season in their first ever Bundesliga campaign with a startling eighth placed finish, enough for a Europa Conference League play-off spot.
  • Augsburg have regularly struggled towards the bottom reaches of the table, but have never actually been relegated from the Bundesliga.
  • Both sides will fancy their chances, but a draw could be a good shout with honours even.
