Schirmer scored the lone goal in a narrow road win in the first round.
These past few seasons Heidenheimer has been considered a strong team, firmly in the upper echelon, and last season was only a few points shy of the play-offs. In the new season, to strengthen the team, there are not many transfer moves, just from the transfer of Best, but Moore moved to Schalke. Preparation period 1 win and 2 losses, the results are average.
The last round was a win, but the field was not dominant, the passing success rate was less than 80% and the organization of the attack was not strong.
In the first round of the league match, despite sitting at home, they were still easily taken down by the opponent. However, the game was played in a more positive manner, which is in line with the status of the promoted team.
The biggest goal this season is relegation, and the team's athletic director Foreman said "we have to get out of the elevator". The head coach Shearer, who led the team to promotion, has stayed on, and the core lineup has been retained, with the transfer of substitute goalkeeper Hoffman and no significant reinforcement of other personnel. It shows that there is still more emphasis on defense. Hoffman was on loan last season, and the team was eventually promoted through the play-offs.
Except for last season, the two teams met more often in Bundesliga B. Heidenheimer has no advantage in total results, but has won twice in a row at home. Heidenheimer, as the top ranked team in Bundesliga B for several consecutive seasons, and with a clear win and loss in the first round, the concessions against the promoted team are not sufficient, and they keep retreating, which shows that they are not favored.
