Team News

FC Heidenheim
Mainz
  • Heidenheim played in the Europa Conference League Play-offs on Thursday evening at FC Copenhagen in Denmark, so it's all about Head Coach Frank Schmidt and his rotation wand.
  • Niklas Dorsch has a knee issue, while left-back Norman Föhrenbach is unlikely to make this one after his concussion last weekend in Freiburg. Frans Krätzig is not registered for Europe so may start on the left side of defence.
  • Phillipp Mwene has a swollen foot and remains a doubt. Star man Jonathan Burkardt is nearing a return from a thigh injury, but will probably not last 90 minutes. Nelson Weiper stands by.
  • Stefan Bell has a muscle problem, while Anthony Caci is available after suspension and will likely replace Silvan Widmer in the starting line up.

Prediction

  • Mainz boast the league's joint-second best defensive record, behind Bayern, but have lost three of their last five to stagnate in seventh spot.
  • After losing six in a row, Heidenheim remain in the relegation playoff spot, despite a slight improvement in 2025.
  • Heidenheim eased to a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture, but have won only once in the following 16 games.
  • Mainz have all week to concentrate on this one, and can take advantage of the hosts European exertions and eek out a narrow win.
