Heidenheim Preview: Surprise draw snaps streak
Heidenheim weren’t expect to come away from Red Bull Arena with anything last weekend, but a blistering start saw them race into a two-goal lead over RB Leipzig in less than 15 minutes. Whilst they couldn’t hold onto that advantage, Frank Schmidt’s side still managed to claim a hard-earned point which may yet prove crucial come the regular season’s conclusion.
Borussia Monchengladbach Preview: Progress stunted
Borussia Monchengladbach find themselves in ninth-place heading into this round of fixtures but after picking up ten points from the last 12 available to them, a surprise loss at the hands of Augsburg was an unexpected blow. It was the perfect away performance from Augsburg, inflicting a 0-3 defeat upon Gladbach.
Heidenheim Team News: At least two absent

Heidenheim vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction
Heidenheim cannot afford to allow their hard work in gaining a point at Leipzig go to waste by losing here, especially with them being at home. Whether they have the defensive capabilities to hold out for a victory remains to be seen though, particularly when you consider that Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to take out their frustrations on them following last weekend’s loss.
Gladbach have to be cautious after how they were cut open by Augsburg, despite having the attacking tools to break through the hosts. In the end, a shrewd play may be to back this one finishing in an entertaining draw if Heidenheim can replicate the performance levels they showed last weekend.
