Team Form and Analysis
Heidenheim
Heidenheim has shown resilience at home, winning crucial matches that will serve as a confidence boost going into this tie. However, their defense has been shaky, especially under pressure, making it vital for them to reorganize at the back. Injuries to key defenders could pose further issues.
