This season in the Bundesliga, Heidenheim is experiencing a challenging campaign as the team struggles for consistency, often showing heart and grit but falling short in critical moments. The home form of Heidenheim has been a concern as they’ve failed to secure results against mid-table teams. However, when facing clubs also battling the drop, Heidenheim has demonstrated determination and urgency, like in the 3-2 win over Darmstadt. To avoid relegation, Heidenheim must start collecting points consistently, beginning with a crucial game against Werder Bremen.
Heidenheim has 7 wins, 8 draws, and 18 defeats, reflecting a team still finding its feet in the top flight. Defensive lapses and missed chances have proven costly, so both ends of the pitch must improve. The key focus must be on staying compact and converting pressure into goals.
Heidenheim: Lineup
FC Heidenheim will likely continue with their tried and tested 4-2-3-1 setup, as Frank Schmidt aims to maintain midfield balance and provide attacking support through wide play. With first-choice goalkeeper Müller still doubtful, Kevin Dinkci is expected to lead the line, supported by the creative trio behind him. The backline will need to stay alert to Bremen’s movement and transitions, especially on the wings.
🔖Heidenheim projected lineup (4-2-3-1)
Dinkci – Mainka, Siersleben, Traoré, Föhrenbach – Maloney, Theuerkauf – Pick, Beste, Schöppner – Kleindienst
⛔️ Out: Müller (concussion), Conteh (knee), Maloney (suspension), Busch (muscle injury)
👤 Head coach: Frank Schmidt

Werder Bremen: form and statistics
The form of Werder Bremen has not been spectacular but steady enough to secure a mid-table finish, with the team showing resilience in key matches. Their results have come through a blend of disciplined defending and efficient finishing, although inconsistency in attack has at times prevented them from pushing higher. The midfield control from Stage and Groß has been crucial, while Ducksch provides attacking impetus.
With 15 points remaining to be played for, Werder need just one more point to mathematically guarantee a top-half finish. They will likely approach this game with patience, aiming to frustrate Heidenheim and strike on the counter when chances come.
Werder Bremen: Lineup
Ole Werner will have a relatively easy job selecting players for this game, as Werder Bremen have fewer injury concerns and come into this match with a stable squad. Although Kaboré and Burke remain unavailable due to injury, Werner will likely stick with his trusted lineup, only making minor tactical adjustments depending on Heidenheim’s approach.
It is highly expected that Bremen will try to control the tempo with Groß and Stage in midfield, while Bittencourt supports the attack. Werder's backline remains intact, with Pavlenka in goal and the centre-back duo of Stark and Friedl offering solidity. Marvin Ducksch will lead the line with support from Njinmah and Schmidt out wide to stretch the Heidenheim defence.
🔖 Werder Bremen starting lineup (4-3-3)
Pavlenka – Weiser, Stark, Friedl, Jung – Stage, Groß, Lynen – Schmidt, Ducksch, Njinmah
⛔️ Out: Kaboré, Burke (injured)
👤 Head coach: Ole Werner
