Team News

FC Heidenheim
RBL
  • Ex-Bayern midfielder Niklas Dorsch is suspended for two games after his red card last weekend.
  • Thomas Keller is on his way back from a long-standing ACL injury, as is Julian Niehues. Adrian Beck missed last weekend with a knock, but should return.
  • Assan Ouédraogo is getting over a knee op, while Xaver Schlager is recovering from an ACL injury. Kevin Kampl has problems with his adductors.

Prediction

  • It's quite a comedown for Leipzig who face a trip to minnows Heidenheim after hosting European giants Juventus in the Champions League in midweek.
  • Leipzig, 16 league games without defeat, are looking good to mount a title challenge, despite consecutive 0-0 draws against likely relegation fodder recently.
  • Leipzig won both encounters 2-1 last season and crucially enjoy 24 hours more rest and recuperation.
  • Both sides will fancy their chances, but back Leipzig to grab a narrow win.
