Team News

FC Heidenheim
Freiburg
  • Thomas Keller is on his way back from a long-standing ACL injury, as is Julian Niehues.
  • Manuel Gulde is struggling with a bad back, while Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is still recovering from an ACL injury. Merlin Röhl suffered an ankle injury last weekend and will be out for several weeks.
  • First-choice goalkeeper Noah Atubolu is nearing a return after an appendix operation, and Michael Gregoritsch is ruled out with a muscle injury.

Prediction

  • Following the departure of long-serving maestro Christian Streich, Freiburg have started life under new new coach Julian Schuster in decent shape with two wins and a loss to Bayern.
  • Frank Schmidt's Heidenheim exceeded all expectations last season in their first ever Bundesliga campaign finishing level on points with Freiburg.
  • Heidenheim slipped to defeat at Dortmund last Friday after winning their first five competive games this time around.
  • Heidenheim won a five-goal thriller last term and a similar high scoring game is on the cards between two evenly-matched sides.
