Heidenheim, Recent FormIt's fair to say Heidenheim will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Freiburg, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Freiburg managed 20 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It has not been their best home spell of late at Voith-Arena, with 3 defeats and only a single victory in their last 6 home matches.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Heidenheim, Tim Kleindienst will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Cologne, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 home win over Union Berlin in their last league game, Cologne will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Union Berlin had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 15 of their 16 games on the road.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Cologne, Faride Alidou will be looking to add more goals against Heidenheim in this match.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The last 3 matches between Heidenheim and Die Geißböcke show that Heidenheim have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
In their last 3 league meetings, Heidenheim have failed to record a victory against Cologne.
